Nah, C is not right, asynchronous isn't a requirement.

D makes sense too, flows need Apex for callouts.

I thought SCAP APIs were a thing? Confused here.

Totally agree, Outbound Messaging can't handle REST.

Invoking a callout from a flow sounds familiar, but I can't remember if that means we definitely need an Apex callout.

I feel like we practiced a question about asynchronous callouts, but I can't recall if that was specifically about Apex or not.

I think if the target system uses a REST API, that might require an Apex callout instead of Outbound Messaging.

I remember studying the differences between Apex callouts and Outbound Messaging, but I'm not sure which scenario fits best here.

I'm pretty confident the answer is A. Outbound Messaging is limited to SOAP APIs, so if the target system uses a REST API, you'd need to use an Apex callout instead.

Okay, let me think this through. If the callout needs to be asynchronous or invoked from a flow, then an Apex callout would be the way to go. Outbound Messaging is more for real-time notifications, right?

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Outbound Messaging is for sending notifications, but I'm not sure when we'd use an Apex callout instead. The options seem a bit tricky.

Wait, is there a 'Salsa API' option? Because that would be the most delicious choice, hands down!

Async callout? Definitely Apex. Outbound Messaging is more for synchronous stuff, right?

Hmm, gotta use that Apex callout when the target system is a REST API. Outbound Messaging just doesn't cut it in that scenario.
