Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Process-Automation Exam

The Debug button in Flow Builder is designed to help administrators test their flows in real-time. When using Debug, admins can:

Enter custom values for input variables.

Observe the flow’s path of execution.

Monitor how decisions and assignments behave.

See outputs, errors, and element-by-element outcomes.

This helps identify logic issues before activating the flow.

A. Correct — The Debug tool is intended for entering input values and viewing detailed flow execution results.

Incorrect Options:

B. Auto-save settings are unrelated to the Debug tool.

C. Flow versioning is handled manually and not linked to debugging.

D. Flows do not support rollbacks of committed database changes during debugging.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Use Debug to test a flow’s logic step-by-step, passing values into input variables and monitoring outcomes.”

“Debugging helps trace decision paths, assignments, and screen navigation.”

=========================================================

The Debug button in Flow Builder is a key tool for testing. When clicked, it allows admins to:

Provide test values for input variables.

Walk through the flow step-by-step.

Monitor paths taken by the flow logic.

See data assignments, decisions, loop outcomes, and errors (if any).

Option D is correct — this describes the full purpose and capability of the Debug button.

Incorrect Options:

A. The Debug button does run the latest version, but not due to auto-save mode.

B. Salesforce flows do not support automatic rollback through debugging.

C. Flow versioning must be done manually; debugging does not create new versions.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Use Debug to test flow logic, provide input values, and monitor detailed element-by-element execution.”

“Debug mode provides enhanced error tracking and variable tracing to help identify issues before activation.”

=========================================================

In Flow Builder, to assign a value (such as a Contact ID) to a field in a record variable, the Assignment element is used. It allows flow designers to modify the contents of variables, including record variables and individual fields within them.

C. Correct — The Assignment element sets values within variables, including record-type variables such as setting contactId = {!record.ContactId}.

Incorrect Options:

A. Decision is used for conditional branching, not for setting values.

B. “Branching Element” is not a Salesforce Flow term.

D. Create Records is used to insert records into the database, not to assign field values in variables.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Use Assignment elements to assign values to variables and record fields in your flow.”

“You can assign values to one or more fields on a record variable using a single Assignment element.”

=========================================================

Login Flows are implemented using Screen Flows that display input fields and perform validation or post-login tasks. Salesforce allows you to attach a Screen Flow to the login process via Login Flow Setup. Within this Screen Flow, you can design both the UI and automation logic using decisions, assignments, and actions.

D. Correct — A Screen Flow can both collect user input and execute logic, eliminating the need for separate flow types.

Incorrect Options:

A. Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated and not usable in Login Flows.

B. Apex Triggers cannot be used in Login Flows.

C. Autolaunched Flows are not supported in Login Flow context because they lack a UI.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Use Screen Flows for Login Flows to display custom screens and execute business logic during user login.”

Flow Interviews represent a single instance of a flow execution, often paused or awaiting user input. Salesforce tracks paused flow interviews and provides options to resume or delete them.

Correct Statements:

A. ✅ Each flow interview is one running instance of a flow.

B. ✅ Deleting inactive or irrelevant interviews helps users focus on actionable tasks.

E. ✅ A single flow can have up to 50 versions, but only one can be active at a time.

Incorrect Options:

C. ❌ Salesforce Screen Flows manage navigation internally; using the browser’s navigation buttons can break the flow session.

D. ❌ Flow interviews are not “deactivated”; flows themselves are. Paused interviews can be resumed or deleted.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Help – Flow Interviews:

“A flow interview represents a single execution of a flow.”

“You can delete flow interviews that are no longer needed.”

“Flows can have up to 50 versions.”

===========

In Flow Builder, a Constant resource is used to define a static, unchanging value. You can reference this constant anywhere in the flow — such as in decision logic, screen elements, or assignments — without worrying that it might be modified during execution.

Correct Option:

D. ✅ Constants are ideal for storing fixed values like discount percentages, status values, or thresholds.

Incorrect Options:

A. This describes an input screen component.

B. That refers to the Display Text screen component.

C. Constants cannot change their data type; they are explicitly set.

Reference Extract from Salesforce Help – Flow Resources:

“Use Constant resources to store values that never change and can be reused across elements within the flow.”

===========

The Get Records element is used in Flow Builder to retrieve records from the database based on specific criteria — such as finding a contact where Email = inputEmail.

C. Correct — Get Records is the declarative tool to retrieve a single record or collection from an object like Contact.

Incorrect Options:

A, B, D — These are not standard elements or terminology used in Salesforce Flow Builder.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Use the Get Records element to query Salesforce data and retrieve one or more records that meet specified conditions.”

=========================================================

Salesforce’s standard field history tracking does not support multi-select picklists. To track changes (old vs. new values) on such fields, a custom solution is needed. The best declarative approach is to use an after-save Record-Triggered Flow, which compares the previous and current values and stores the result in a custom object or field for auditing.

A. Correct — Use a Record-Triggered Flow to capture the prior value using the $Record__Prior global variable and compare it with the current value.

Incorrect Options:

B. Field history tracking does not support multi-select picklists natively.

C. Raising a case will not enable unsupported standard functionality.

D. Apex Trigger is possible but not required since Flow can handle this declaratively.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Multi-select picklists are not supported by standard field history tracking. Use Flow to track changes to these fields.”

“Record-Triggered Flows can access $Record__Prior to detect field changes.”

=========================================================

To delete a flow version (especially one installed from a managed package), several conditions must be met:

A. The flow must not be referenced by another flow. Dependencies block deletion.

B. The flow version must not have any paused flow interviews (these are tracked in Setup).

C. There should be no scheduled actions (e.g., scheduled paths or future-dated flow execution).

Incorrect Options:

D. Deprecation only hides a version; it does not permit deletion.

E. Inactivity is required for deletion, but on its own does not guarantee deletion unless the above conditions are also met.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“A flow version cannot be deleted if it is referenced, has paused interviews, or has pending scheduled actions.”

“Only inactive and unreferenced flow versions with no active execution can be removed.”

=========================================================

When creating a record-based process in Process Builder, the trigger determines when the process will start. There are two valid trigger conditions:

A. When a new record is created: Process Builder can be configured to trigger upon the creation of a new record.

D. When a record is updated: It can also trigger when an existing record is updated.

Invalid Options:

B. When a record is deleted: Process Builder does not support deletion events.

C. When a record is shared: Sharing changes are not tracked for Process Builder triggers.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Help Documentation on Process Builder and Flow:

“In Process Builder, you can start a process when a record is created or when a record is created or edited.”

“Processes do not support triggers on record deletion or sharing events.”
