What happens when a screen flow creates a contact and then displays a confirmation screen?

When a screen flow creates a contact and then displays a confirmation screen, it works as intended because these actions are treated as separate transactions within the flow.

When the flow is executed, the first step of creating a contact processes the data and commits it to the database. Following this, the confirmation screen is shown to the user, providing feedback that the contact has been successfully created. This separation of actions allows for a smooth user experience where the creation of the contact is confirmed without impacting the overall flow of the process.

In Salesforce's flow architecture, each step can be reliably executed, and the success of one does not prevent the subsequent steps from functioning properly. The design ensures that users can clearly see confirmation without the risk of failing the entire flow due to the original transaction's success.
