Difficulty: EasyProcess Builder Capabilities

An administrator needs to automatically update a custom status field on all related Contact records whenever an Account's status changes to 'Inactive'. Which capability of Process Builder allows the administrator to accomplish this requirement without custom code?

  1. Executing an Update Records action that specifies child records related to the AccountAnswer
  2. B
    Creating a Roll-Up Summary field to automatically push updates down to child Contact records
  3. C
    Configuring an immediate action to only update the triggering Account record, requiring Apex for child records
  4. D
    Calling an Apex class in a loop to query and update child records to avoid governor limits

Answer

Process Builder allows administrators to configure an Update Records action that directly updates related child records (such as Contacts related to an Account) without writing Apex code.
Process Builder includes built-in declarative capabilities to create an 'Update Records' action that selects records related to the record that started the process, allowing seamless updates to child records such as Contacts on an Account.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the automation requirement
The requirement involves updating child records (Contacts) when a parent record (Account) undergoes a field change.
Understanding record relationships is necessary to select the proper automation capability.
2
Evaluate Process Builder capabilities for cross-object updates
Process Builder features a built-in 'Update Records' action type capable of referencing records related to the main object.
This avoids unnecessary code development by using standard declarative functionality.
