Flow Designer and Automation Flashcards

Which Flow Designer element is used to pause a flow until a specific condition becomes true on a record?

Answer: Wait for Condition

The 'Wait for Condition' step pauses flow execution until a defined field condition is met on a specified record.

In Flow Designer, what is the purpose of the 'Data Pill Picker'?

Answer: To reference dynamic data from prior flow steps

The Data Pill Picker lets you reference output variables from previous triggers and actions within the same flow.

Which built-in Flow Designer action updates multiple field values on an existing record without writing custom scripts?

Answer: Update Record

The 'Update Record' action sets one or more field values on an already-existing record identified by its sys_id.

What role is required to create and publish flows in Flow Designer by default?

Answer: admin or flow_designer

Users must have the 'flow_designer' role (or admin) to create, edit, and publish flows in Flow Designer.

How does Flow Designer handle errors that occur inside an Action step by default?

Answer: The flow stops and marks the execution as Error

By default, an unhandled action error halts the flow and sets its execution record status to 'Error'.

Which component in Flow Designer allows you to call a reusable set of steps from multiple flows?

Answer: Subflow

Subflows are reusable logic blocks that can be invoked from any flow or other subflow, reducing duplication.

When a Flow Designer flow is triggered by a Record-Based trigger and the trigger condition is 'Created or Updated,' what controls which field changes fire the trigger?

Answer: Trigger filter conditions defined in the flow

Trigger filter conditions in the flow definition specify which field values or changed-fields activate the flow.
