Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

1. Enable Bulk Processing for the closeGiftCommitment Invocable Action
   Natalya Murphy (Heartland CRM)

   This Trailblazer's idea notes a limitation in Nonprofit Cloud where the closeGiftCommitment invocable action only supports a single record, which causes failures when used in bulk-triggered Flows. Allowing the action to accept multiple Gift Commitment IDs would align it with Salesforce bulkification best practices and make Flow automation far more reliable at scale. Vote if you agree!
