Record-Triggered Flow in Salesforce is one of the many types of Flows that you can use to automate your business processes. You can trigger the Flow when:
At times, in Salesforce, you may want to see the child records for a parent record in a timeline or chronological order. For example, if we talk about a particular Account, you may want to see the opportunities, cases, orders, contacts in a chronological order to understand the chain of events. Things like after coming in touch with a new contact for customer, the no. of opportunities increased or when a case was created, the no. of orders reduced.
AppExchange is Salesforce’s online marketplace where you can find applications developed by 3rd parties that you can use with Salesforce. If the standard Salesforce functionality does not meet your requirements, then there are two ways to cater to this; either develop everything from scratch or make use of a ready-to-install app or component from AppExchange. It is the fastest and convenient way to extend your Salesforce implementation.
Screen Flow in Salesforce is one of the many types of Flows that you can use to enhance your users’ experience. For example, you can create a user interface (UI) to collect information in one screen and save it multiple objects behind the scenes or you can present a wizard like UI to guide users through the business process.
And what makes screen flow attractive is that you can do all this without writing a single line of code. All using declarative point-and-click tools. Ah, now I have your attention.
