Hi All,

I have Created sample Visual Flow and calling from Custom button. The logic is jsut creating Account Records. And I have a workflow when ever Account is created, updating the field in Account.

Can you please explain workflow and flow logic in detail?

Why don't you set the field with in the flow itself, instead of using another workflow to update a field.

some trigger is trying to update in the existing record, in the before trigger.
Check what all triggers are getting executed

I don't see any issues in executing a workflow after creating an account using visual flow. Enable debug on the user account and check the debug log. This will give you more details on what is causing the flow to fail. It could be a trigger, workflow or a process builder. Hope this helps.
