- What are the two primary trigger types for automated flows in Salesforce?
- Record-triggered flows and schedule-triggered flows.
- In a record-triggered flow, what does the 'Before Save' trigger option do?
- Executes the flow before the record is committed to the database, allowing updates to the same record without a second DML statement.
- What is a subflow in Salesforce Flow?
- A reusable flow that is called by another flow to execute a specific set of actions or decisions.
- Which element in Flow allows you to repeat a set of actions over a collection of records?
- Loop element.
- What does the Decision element do in a Flow?
- Branches the flow logic based on conditions you define, directing the flow down different paths.
- What is the maximum number of active record-triggered flows per object?
- 5 flows per object (as of the current platform limit).
- What is a Screen Flow in Salesforce?
- A flow that presents one or more screens to a user for input before executing actions, often used for guided processes.
- What happens if a record-triggered 'Before Save' flow updates the same record that triggered it?
- The update is applied without requiring an additional DML statement or causing recursion limits to increment.
- What is the primary difference between a Scheduled Flow and a Scheduled Action?
- Scheduled Flows are their own standalone automation that runs on a schedule; Scheduled Actions are older legacy workflow scheduling.
- What does a Record Update action do in Flow?
- Updates one or more existing records with specified field values without needing a separate DML statement if in a Before Save context.
- In Flow, what is a variable used for?
- To store data during flow execution so it can be passed between elements or used in expressions.
- What is an Assignment element in Flow?
- An element that assigns or updates the value of a variable during flow execution.
- What is a sharing rule in Salesforce?
- A configuration that grants users additional record access beyond their normal role-based hierarchy and record ownership.
- What are the two main types of sharing rules?
- Ownership-based sharing rules and criteria-based sharing rules.
- What does an ownership-based sharing rule do?
- Shares records owned by a specific user or group with another user or group based on the record owner.
