Difficulty: EasyFlow Types and Triggers

An administrator needs to automatically update a field on an Opportunity record whenever the Opportunity is created or updated, prior to the record being saved to the database. No other records or external systems need to be updated. Which flow configuration should the administrator select?

  1. Record-Triggered Flow configured for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save)Answer
  2. B
    Record-Triggered Flow configured for Actions and Related Records (After-Save)
  3. C
    Schedule-Triggered Flow evaluated every hour
  4. D
    Screen Flow launched automatically by a Validation Rule

Answer

Record-Triggered Flow configured for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save)
Configuring a Record-Triggered Flow for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save) is the recommended best practice for updating fields on the record that launched the flow. It updates the record values before they are committed to the database, offering optimal performance.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the automation requirement target and timing.
The requirement is to update fields on the triggering Opportunity record itself before it is saved to the database.
Updates to the triggering record prior to database commit should be handled efficiently without additional DML operations.
2
Evaluate Salesforce flow trigger types.
Fast Field Updates (Before-Save Record-Triggered Flows) are optimized specifically for same-record updates before database save.
Before-save flows run up to 10 times faster than after-save flows because they do not cause extra database writes or trigger secondary order of execution steps.
