Flow Designer and Automation Flashcards

Which Flow Designer feature lets administrators test a flow with sample data without affecting production records?

Answer: Test Flow with Input

The 'Test' button in Flow Designer opens a dialog to supply input values and execute the flow in a controlled test run.

What is an Integration Hub 'Spoke' in the context of Flow Designer?

Answer: A collection of pre-built actions for a specific third-party application

A Spoke is a scoped application containing pre-built Flow Designer actions and triggers for a specific external system (e.g., Slack, Jira).

In Flow Designer, which section of a flow definition stores credentials used by Action steps that call external APIs?

Answer: Connection & Credential Aliases

Connection & Credential Aliases abstract authentication details so flows reference an alias name rather than raw credentials.

Which Flow Designer trigger type runs a flow on a recurring schedule rather than in response to a record change?

Answer: Schedule-Based Trigger

Schedule-Based triggers execute a flow at defined intervals (daily, weekly, or a custom cron schedule).

What does 'Activate' do to a Flow Designer flow compared to simply saving it?

Answer: Activating publishes the flow so it runs against live trigger events

Saving creates or updates a draft; Activating publishes the flow so it responds to real trigger events in the environment.

Which Flow Designer construct maps to the 'if / else if / else' branching logic?

Answer: Flow Logic > If

Flow Logic > If (with optional Else If and Else branches) provides conditional branching within a flow.

When using the 'Look Up Records' action in Flow Designer, what does the action return if no records match the filter?

Answer: An empty list with zero records

Look Up Records returns a list data pill; if no records match, the list is empty (zero items) and the flow continues.
