What is a primary use case for a record-triggered flow?

A primary use case for a record-triggered flow is to update records and send notifications in response to specific changes within Salesforce records. Record-triggered flows automatically initiate whenever a specified record is created or updated. This automation is particularly effective for scenarios such as sending out email alerts, updating fields based on particular criteria, or initiating other processes that are contingent upon specific changes in the record's data.

The flexibility of record-triggered flows allows them to capture real-time data modifications and take immediate action, such as notifying users of important changes or system updates, ensuring that relevant stakeholders are informed and that the data remains consistent and up-to-date. This results in improved efficiency and responsiveness in the organization’s processes, making it a suitable solution for many operational needs within Salesforce.

Other options, while relevant concepts in Salesforce automation, do not align as closely with the core functionality of record-triggered flows. For example, batch processing is typically used for handling large sets of data rather than immediate responses to individual record changes. Likewise, schedule-based tasks and flow-based user training focus on pre-defined time intervals or educational aspects rather than direct responses to record events.
