Discuss Salesforce ADX-211 Exam Topic 2 Question 70

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.

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.

Edmond 11 months ago

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

Stephanie 11 months ago

The flow type definitely matters for execution order.

Chantell 11 months ago

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

Tawna 11 months ago

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

Rosendo 11 months ago

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

Kattie 12 months ago

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

Portia 12 months ago

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

Leota 1 year ago

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

Carry 1 year ago

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.

Gerardo 1 year ago

Wait, I think the flows execute in alphabetical order based on their names. I'll select option D just to be safe.

Clorinda 1 year ago

I remember learning about this in class. I think the order is unpredictable, so I'll go with option C.

Glory 1 year ago

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

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about the order of execution for these flows. I'll need to think this through carefully.

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.

I agree with Bernardo, the flow type should determine the order.

Jesusita 1 year ago

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.
