What type of automation is triggered when a button is clicked or by other automations?

An autolaunched flow is designed to be triggered programmatically or through other automation processes, such as Process Builder or Apex. It does not have a user interface element (like a screen flow) and runs in the background, which makes it suitable to be invoked by other processes or actions, such as when a button is clicked. This flexibility allows it to be integrated into larger automated workflows without requiring direct user interaction.

In contrast, screen flows require user interaction for input through a UI, which is not the case with an autolaunched flow. Scheduled flows are set to run at predefined times and do not react to immediate user actions like button clicks. Record-triggered flows specifically respond when a record is created, updated, or deleted, and are not directly linked to a user-initiated action like pushing a button. Thus, autolaunched flows are the most appropriate choice for automation triggered by a button click or other automated processes.
