Salesforce ADX-211 Exam - Topic 2 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's ADX-211 exam

Question #: 70
Topic #: 2

An administrator created and activated several record-triggered flows that are configured to run before the record is saved on the same object.

What should the administrator consider about the order of execution for flows?

AThe flow type will determine the order of execution.

BThe last created date of the flow will determine the order.

CThe order of flow execution is unpredictable.

DThe flows will execute in alphabetical order based on their names.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When you have multiple record-triggered flows that are configured to run before the record is saved on the same object, the order of flow execution is unpredictable. This means that you cannot guarantee which flow will run first or last, or how they will affect each other's field updates. Therefore, you should avoid creating multiple before-save flows on the same object and instead consolidate them into one flow if possible.

No way, alphabetical order? That sounds off.

I think the last created date is what counts, right?

The flow type definitely matters for execution order.

Wait, are we really saying flows run in alphabetical order? That’s surprising!

I’m pretty sure the order is unpredictable, not reliable at all.

I doubt the flows would execute in alphabetical order; that seems too simplistic for how Salesforce handles them.

I feel like the order of flow execution can be a bit unpredictable, especially with multiple flows running at once.

I think we practiced a question where the last created date affected execution, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember we discussed how the flow type might influence execution order, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only factor.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll review the material again and try to eliminate the options that don't seem right.

Okay, let's see. The flow type doesn't seem to be the determining factor, so I'm leaning towards option B or C.

Ah, the joys of record-triggered flows. Where the order of execution is as predictable as a coin flip. Gotta love it!

Unpredictable order of execution? That's a recipe for disaster! Guess I'll have to pray to the flow gods for some consistency.

Hmm, I think the order of execution is unpredictable. Can't rely on the flow type or creation date. Hoping for an alphabetical order would be too good to be true.
