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 Actions and Related Records.
Actions and Related Records allow you to update any record and perform actions, such as sending an email, after the record that triggered the flow to run is saved to the database. This feature offers greater flexibility than Fast Field Updates, which only allow you to update fields on the record that triggered the flow to run.
For example, you can use Actions and Related Records in a flow that updates the status of a related record when a certain condition is met. You can set the flow to update the related record, send an email to the record owner, and post a Chatter feed update, all in a single flow.
Actions and Related Records also offer several benefits, such as the ability to update related records and trigger additional flows. However, it is important to note that Actions and Related Records are slower and more resource-intensive than Fast Field Updates, so it is essential to use them only when necessary.
Overall, Actions and Related Records in Record-Triggered Flow provide a flexible and powerful way to automate your business processes by updating records and performing actions after the record that triggered the flow is saved to the database.
