Use Case - Update Account Information

(See Figure 1 to Figure 5)

This process is connected to a Salesforce environment and is designed to update account details as stored in Salesforce. The responsible agent initiates the process from Salesforce and sends a link to the account representative for updates. When the process begins, any existing data in Salesforce will be pre-populated in the fields. Upon submission, the updated information is seamlessly integrated back into Salesforce.

In Salesforce, the account contains some details but is missing the address and website information.
