Which type of flow is ideal for executing tasks based on certain data changes?

Triggered Flow is specifically designed to execute actions automatically in response to changes in Salesforce data, making it an ideal choice for scenarios where tasks need to be performed based on those data changes. This type of flow runs without user interaction and is activated when records are created, updated, or deleted, allowing it to respond immediately to changes in the underlying data.

Triggered Flows are particularly beneficial in automating processes such as sending notifications, updating related records, or performing any conditional actions that should occur when specific criteria are met, thereby improving efficiency and ensuring consistent application of business rules.

In contrast, Screen Flows require user interaction to run, prompting users to input information through screens, which does not align with the need to respond to data changes autonomously. Autolaunched Flows can run in various contexts and don’t require user input, but they lack the direct response mechanism associated with data-changing events that Triggered Flows provide. Integration Flows usually focus on connecting Salesforce with external applications and handling data exchange, which is not inherently about reacting to data changes within Salesforce itself.
