Description
Record-Triggered Flow is an automation tool in Salesforce that allows you to automate processes by defining criteria for when to execute an action. Another important feature of Record-Triggered Flow is Update Triggering Record.
Update Triggering Record allows you to update the fields on the record that triggered the flow to run, after the record is saved to the database. This feature is similar to Actions and Related Records, but it only updates the record that triggered the flow to run, unlike Actions and Related Records which can update any record.
For example, you can use Update Triggering Record in a flow that calculates a discount based on the number of units purchased. You can set the flow to update the discount field on the record that triggered the flow to run, after the record is saved to the database.
Update Triggering Record also offers several benefits, such as reduced complexity and improved performance. However, it is important to note that Update Triggering Record cannot update related records or trigger additional flows.
Overall, Update Triggering Record in Record-Triggered Flow provides a simple and efficient way to update the fields on the record that triggered the flow to run, enabling you to automate your business processes with greater ease and accuracy.
