What allows automation to run multiple tasks in response to a single event?

Record-triggered flows enable automation to execute multiple tasks in response to a single triggering event, such as the creation or update of a record. These flows are designed to react to data changes in real time, allowing for a series of actions to be carried out instantly based on the conditions defined within the flow.

When a record is created or modified, a record-triggered flow can kick off and perform numerous operations, such as updating fields, creating records, sending notifications, and invoking other processes. This capability makes them highly effective for automating complex business processes that require several steps to be completed as a result of one data change, ultimately improving efficiency and accuracy in data handling.

In contrast, the other options focus on different aspects of automation. Fast field updates relate to the quick updating of fields in record-triggered flows but do not encapsulate the ability to perform multiple tasks. Scheduled paths are used within flows to delay certain actions and execute them at a specified time, while approval processes focus on obtaining and managing approvals for decisions and are not designed to handle multiple tasks in response to record changes.
