Salesforce Updated Advanced-Administrator Exam Questions and Answers by cory

Process Builder and Flow Builder are tools that allow administrators to automate business processes in Salesforce without writing code. Process Builder and Flow Builder can perform actions such as creating records, updating fields, sending emails, posting to Chatter, invoking Apex classes, calling flows, etc.

To automate several updates to lead records and update unrelated records at Cloud Kicks, an administrator can use two options:

B) Create a Process Builder that runs when a record is changed

Process Builder is a tool that allows administrators to create processes that consist of criteria nodes and action groups. Criteria nodes define the conditions that trigger the process and action groups define the actions that the process performs. Processes can run when a record is created or when a record is created or edited.

By creating a Process Builder that runs when a record is changed, an administrator can automate updates to lead records based on certain criteria and perform actions such as updating fields, sending emails, posting to Chatter, invoking Apex classes, calling flows, etc. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.process_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.process_considerations.htm &type=5

C) Create a flow that runs when a record is created or updated

Flow Builder is a tool that allows administrators to create flows that consist of elements such as screens, assignments, decisions, loops, etc. Elements define the logic and user interface of the flow. Flows can run in different ways such as when a user clicks a button, when a record is updated by Process Builder, when an event occurs in the system (such as record creation), etc.

Two practices that the administrator should adhere to in order to ensure a successful deployment to production are:

Add permissions and access settings to outbound change sets in addition to the dependent component list. This can help avoid deployment errors or access issues caused by missing permissions or settings for the components in the change set. For example, if the change set includes a new custom object, the administrator should also include the object permissions, field-level security, page layouts, and record types for that object.

Run deployment validations on the change set in the sandbox prior to uploading to production. This can help test the change set for any errors or conflicts before deploying it to production. Deployment validations simulate the deployment without actually making any changes and report any issues or warnings.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Cloning a change set does not add forgotten dependent components to an uploaded change set. It only creates a copy of the existing change set that can be modified before uploading.

When deploying a new record type, it is not necessary to have it as the only component in the change set. It can be deployed along with other components as long as they are compatible and have the required dependencies.

A flow is an automation tool that allows you to create processes that perform actions based on user input or record changes. A flow can be triggered by a user who launches it from a button, link, or Lightning page, or by the system when a record is created or updated. A flow has different versions that can be active or inactive. An active version is the one that runs when the flow is triggered, while an inactive version is the one that is saved but not running. When you deploy a flow to production with a change set, the flow version is deployed as inactive by default. This means that you need to activate the flow manually after deployment if you want it to run in production.
