For what purpose would you typically utilize a scheduled flow?

Utilizing a scheduled flow is particularly suited for running nightly batch jobs. This type of flow is designed to automate processes that need to be executed at specific times or on a recurring schedule, such as at the end of the day, week, or month. By employing a scheduled flow in this way, organizations can efficiently manage and automate regular tasks without the need for manual intervention.

Scheduled flows allow for the processing of large volumes of data systematically, ensuring that actions such as data updates, report generation, or sending notifications occur at predefined intervals. This capability is key for many operational tasks within organizations, particularly for maintaining data integrity and operational efficiency.

In contrast, other options like real-time data processing, invoking user interfaces, and triggering platform events are better served by different types of automation tools or flows in Salesforce. Real-time data processing typically occurs through immediate triggers rather than a scheduled approach. Invoking user interfaces would require synchronous interactions, and platform events are focused on event-driven architecture rather than scheduled execution.
