navigateToRecord Aura Component

This Aura component is designed for Salesforce and is capable of redirecting users to a specific Salesforce record once a Flow involving this component completes. It's implemented to be used primarily in Salesforce Lightning Flows as a final action that takes users directly to a designated record. This is helpful particularly in the Salesforce mobile as url redirects won't work there.

Features

• Lightning Quick Action: The component can be configured to act as a quick action.
• Flow Integration: Suitable for use in Salesforce Flows, especially at the end of the Flow to redirect users.
• Customizable: Through the recordId attribute, users can specify which record to navigate after the Flow execution.
