Flow naming convention

Checked by the Salesforce Flow scan. Severity medium.

What it requires. Flow API names must follow the convention: [Domain]_[TypeCode]_[Action]. Domain is typically the primary object. TypeCode must be one of: SCR, SFL, SCH, BeforeSave, AfterSave, BeforeCreate, AfterCreate, BeforeUpdate, AfterUpdate, BeforeDelete, AfterDelete, EVT, EML.

Why it matters. A consistent naming convention allows any team member to understand a flow's type, trigger context, and purpose from its name alone, without opening it.

How to fix it. Rename the flow to follow [Domain]_[TypeCode]_[Action] convention. Refer to the SFXD Flow Naming Conventions guide for the full type code list.
