Notes
A Record-Triggered Flow runs automatically when a specific record event happens, like a record being created, updated, or deleted. It’s designed for real-time or near-real-time processing. For example, if an Opportunity is updated to a "Closed-Won" stage, a Record-Triggered Flow could automatically create a follow-up task.
A Scheduled Flow, on the other hand, runs at a predefined time or recurring interval, such as daily or weekly. It works on a batch of records that meet certain criteria. For instance, a Scheduled Flow could send reminders every Monday to customers whose invoices are overdue.
The main difference is that Record-Triggered Flows respond to immediate changes in records, while Scheduled Flows are better for periodic or time-based operations. Both are powerful tools, but I would choose based on whether the requirement is event-driven or time-driven.
