Discuss Salesforce ADX-211 Exam Topic 9 Question 56

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?

ARecord-triggered flows that are configured to run before save execute prior to all before triggers.

BA validation rule could be preventing records from ever meeting the conitions in the trigger.

CThe trigger is writing the data to the wrong place in the external data archive.

DThe code could be trying to create duplicates in the archieve when it is unable to.

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.

Yvonne 11 months ago

D seems unlikely, but who knows? Surprised if that's the case!

Johnna 12 months ago

C sounds plausible, maybe the trigger is misconfigured.

Twanna 12 months ago

I think B could be the issue too, validation rules can be tricky.

Gertude 1 year ago

A is definitely true, before save flows run first.

Carmelina 1 year ago

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

Frederica 1 year ago

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.

Jose 1 year ago

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

Werner 1 year ago

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

Kip 1 year ago

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.

Trevor 1 year ago

This looks like it could be a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of Salesforce automation. I'm going to carefully consider each option and think through the potential causes.

Adolph 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by this one. The information provided is a bit limited, so I'll need to make sure I understand the key details before selecting an answer.

Cordelia 1 year ago

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.

Dorothy 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about the order of execution for triggers and flows.

Ah, the joys of Salesforce development. At least the flow is working, right? Silver linings and all that.

Jesus 2 years ago

Haha, this sounds like a classic 'who broke the build' scenario. I bet the developer is pulling their hair out trying to figure this one out.

Alverta 2 years ago

Could be a validation rule causing the problem.

Lenita 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I'd probably go with D. The code could be trying to create duplicates that the external system won't allow.

Maybe the flow is interfering with the trigger.

Keith 2 years ago

C seems most likely to me. The developer might be trying to write to the wrong place in the external database.

Veda 2 years ago

I think the answer is A. The flow runs before the trigger, so it makes sense that the trigger would fail.

I think the trigger is the issue.
