Set Checkbox Element

The Set Element Checkbox block is used to check or uncheck checkbox fields within a Salesforce application. This includes binary fields such as “Subscribe to newsletter”, “Agree to terms”, or other yes/no options found in forms and configuration panels.

This block is automatically created when the user clicks a checkbox during recording with the Salesforce Fusion Recorder.

Note: This block works only in browser sessions launched using the Salesforce Login block or within an active Salesforce recording session.

Fully expanded, the Set Element Checkbox blockshows the following properties:

The Block Header

The green input connector at the top left triggers the block’s execution when the automation flow reaches this step.

Once the checkbox state has been successfully applied, the green output connector is activated.

The block title is generated based on the captured element, such“Set Email Subscription”, but can be edited by double-clicking the title, allowing for more descriptive naming within complex flows.

Checkbox State

This property determines whether the checkbox will be checked or unchecked in the Salesforce application.

This property defines whether the checkbox should be checked or unchecked. The state is captured during recording and can be adjusted later in Studio.

Fail

This green output connector is triggered if the checkbox element cannot be located within the defined timeout period.

It enables the creation of fallback conditions or error handling within the automation flow, allowing the process to react accordingly if the target element is missing.

Default timeout

If the Default Timeout property checkbox is not selected, then the timeout value is 10 seconds. If the property checkbox is selected, then the Default timeout value selected in the flow settings will be applicable.

Timeout

Specifies how long the block should wait for the checkbox to become available before triggering the Fail output.

Note: All cases have a “global timeout” that can be configured in the “Settings” panel. This is unrelated to the timeout of a single building block. However, a running case is automatically canceled if it runs longer than the global timeout.
