In the Start element of a triggered flow, you can specify what starts a flow. For
example, the flow trigger can be a schedule or the new and changed records of a specified
object. Without a trigger, you must set up other things to launch the flow, such as custom
buttons, processes, Apex classes, or even Einstein Bots.
Schedule-Triggered Flows A schedule-triggered flow starts at the specified time and frequency for a batch of records. Configure the schedule trigger in the Start element of your autolaunched flow.
Before-Save Record-Triggered Flows Creating or updating a record can trigger a record-triggered flow to make additional updates to that record before it's saved to the database. A record-triggered flow can update a Salesforce record 10 times faster than a record-change process. Configure the record trigger in the Start element of your record-triggered flow.
Scheduled Paths For record-triggered flows, you can use scheduled paths to run part of a flow at a dynamically scheduled time after a triggering event.
Segment-Triggered Flows A segment-triggered flow sends messages to a specific group of people called a segment at the time you set in the flow. When you activate the flow, it sends messages to everyone in the segment at the scheduled time.
On-Demand Flows On-demand flows are triggered by REST API calls. For example, create an automation to send your customer an SMS message that triggers after a user signs up for a membership program, or after the user clicks a button on your site.
Automation Event-Triggered Flows Create event-triggered flows that automatically respond to business events, such as customer orders, SMS signups, or service level changes. Choose from provided triggers, define custom triggers using Data 360, real-time data graphs, or create triggers with engagement signals.
Manage Record-Triggered Flows See, manage, reorder, and filter your record-triggered flows with Flow Trigger Explorer. Flow Trigger Explorer shows all the flows that are associated with a specified object and that run when a record is created, updated, or deleted. You can navigate between a flow in Flow Builder and other flows that run under the same circumstances.
