Difficulty: MediumProcess Builder Capabilities

A Salesforce Administrator is tasked with configuring declarative automation on the Case object. When a high-priority Case record is marked as Closed, the business process requires three distinct actions: creating a follow-up Task for the Account owner, posting a notification to the Account's Chatter feed, and deleting temporary diagnostic records related to the Case. Which statement accurately describes the capability of Process Builder regarding these requirements?

  1. Process Builder can natively create the Task and post to the Chatter feed, but it cannot delete records directly without calling an autolaunched Flow or Apex code.Answer
  2. B
    Process Builder can execute all three requested actions natively as immediate actions without referencing any external automation components.
  3. C
    Process Builder can natively perform record deletions, but posting to Chatter feeds requires invoking an Apex method.
  4. D
    Process Builder can only update fields on the triggering record, so creating related records and Chatter posts must be delegated to record-triggered flows.

Answer

Process Builder can natively create the Task and post to the Chatter feed, but it cannot delete records directly without calling an autolaunched Flow or Apex code.
Process Builder natively supports creating new records (such as Tasks) and posting updates directly to Chatter feeds. However, it does not feature a native action for record deletion; performing a delete operation requires invoking an autolaunched Flow or Apex.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze native Process Builder immediate action capabilities
Identify that 'Create a Record' (Task) and 'Post to Chatter' are fully supported as built-in native actions in Process Builder.
Process Builder provides standard action types for record creation and social collaboration.
2
Evaluate the deletion requirement against declarative tool limits
Determine that Process Builder does not possess a native 'Delete Records' action type.
To delete records from a Process Builder trigger, an administrator must invoke an autolaunched Flow or an Apex class containing DML delete operations.
