The administrator at Cloud Kicks noticed that a before trigger, which handles saving the original version of a record to an external database, fails. However, a flow configured for fast field updates runs successfully.

How should the administrator advise the developer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

One possible reason why the before trigger fails is that the code could be trying to create duplicates in the archive when it is unable to. A before trigger is a type of trigger that executes before a record is saved and can be used to validate or modify record data. In this case, the before trigger is supposed to save the original version of a record to an external database before it is updated or deleted in Salesforce. However, if the code does not handle errors or exceptions properly, it could try to create duplicate records in the external database when it is not allowed or possible. This could cause the trigger to fail and prevent the record from being saved in Salesforce.

I agree with A, flows have priority over triggers for sure.

I have a feeling that duplicates could be a problem, especially if the trigger is trying to save the same record multiple times.

The idea of the trigger writing to the wrong place sounds plausible, but I can't recall if that's a common issue with external databases.

I think I saw a similar question where a validation rule was causing issues, so option B might be worth considering.

I remember something about how before triggers and flows interact, but I'm not entirely sure if they run in the same order.

Ah, I see what's going on here. The trigger is likely trying to do something that's being blocked, while the flow is able to bypass that issue. I'm going to go with option B.

Okay, let's see here. The trigger is failing, but the flow is working, so that's an interesting clue. I'm leaning towards option B, but I'll double-check the others just to be sure.
