Lesson: 16 | Can Flows replace Apex Triggers in Salesforce?

Notes

Notes

Flows can handle many scenarios traditionally managed by Apex Triggers, especially with the advancements in Record-Triggered Flows. For simpler automation needs—like updating related records, sending emails, or performing basic validations—Flows are a great declarative option. They are easier to build and maintain, as they don’t require coding knowledge.

However, Flows can only partially replace Apex Triggers. Apex Triggers are more flexible and capable of handling:

Complex Business Logic: Advanced calculations or multi-step operations that are difficult to implement in Flows.
Deep Integrations: Interactions with external systems or APIs.
High Performance Scenarios: Optimizations that require fine control over execution order, governor limits, or transaction behavior.
Custom Error Handling: Specific error responses or retry mechanisms that aren’t available in Flows.

For example, if a process involves advanced logic to calculate discounts based on multiple objects and triggers external system updates, Apex Triggers are a better choice. But for simpler operations, like updating related Contacts when an Account is updated, Flows can suffice.
