Reevaluate Records in the Process Builder

Important Support and updates for Process Builder have ended as of December 31, 2025. This means that support won't be provided for any process and bugs in the Process Builder product won't be fixed. See Workflow Rules & Process Builder End of Support.

After December 31, 2025, existing processes continue to run, and you can activate, deactivate, and edit them; however, we recommend using Flow Builder. To migrate existing processes, plan your switch to Flow Builder and use the Migrate to Flow tool. For new automations, create flows in Flow Builder.

It's kind of like using a roundabout instead of a four-way stop to control process traffic. Instead of stopping and waiting for separate save operations, reevaluating records helps your business traffic flow a little more freely.

If you choose this option, the process can evaluate the same record up to five additional times in a single save operation. It might reevaluate the record because a process, workflow rule, or flow updated the record in the same save operation. When a record is reevaluated, the process uses the most recent values for that record.

For example, your sales review process includes multiple steps, approvals, notifications, and fields that need to be updated. Some of these changes may be part of your process, or they may be managed by other workflow rules or flows in your org. If you let the process reevaluate a record multiple times in a single save operation, you can manage and evaluate all of these changes—even changes from other processes—in a single save operation in your process.
