Lightning Process builder vino Salesforce offers some pretty cool automation tools like formula fields
approval process workflow rules lighting process builder flow builder epics and Richard force among
all these.
Let's talk about a Lightning Process builder in fact when he started doing this video just on seeing
the Tellme process builder.
Some good old memories started streaming through my mind.
I ask Do you remember the very first time that I used the story.
I wasn't totally Ah.
I was like oh my gosh look at this tool.
How awesome it is.
I was truly truly surprised.
Truly truly impressed.
I was just thinking oh my gosh look at this efficiency of this tool what we can do with this tool.
I think this was way back in 2015 around.
Then Salesforce first launched process builder video using only workflow rules till then.
So process builder was much more powerful powerful Washington you know.
So I just couldn't resist myself and I was trying out the various different possibilities of using the
process builder the various options it had to offer and all these but you know what.
Way back then.
Then process builder was launched.
We did not able to use a process builder in chain sets.
It was not included by Salesforce.
So Wendy was a process builder what we used to do was we used to manually create those competence in
all the environments.
I understand that is a pain in the neck.
Yes I agree.
However the tool was very powerful that we couldn't resist using that.
However after a few releases a sales force that eventually included a process builder also line the
chain said Sandia.
Now we can very much use process builders for deployments.
But it wasn't the case that they back then.
But whatever you know process builder is definitely a very very efficient and powerful tool that we
have in sales force.
Yeah pretty good one.
All right.
OK.
So stories aside let's get back to work process builder.
It is used for easily automating business processes but the point and click assume blessed that so basically
does a decline a new feature that we have in Salesforce to automate complex business processes or we
can simply put it as workflow rule version 2.0 or maybe even we can say like version ten point zero
because it is that much advanced with so many features to offer if we consider workflow rules.
Well Wolf your role is basically does field updates and it can create task records.
Yes it can only create task records but not for other objects sending out email alerts or working with
outbound messages.
These are some of the actions that workflow told us but process builder does way more than that.
It can create records update records in workflows invoke other processes quick actions automatically
submit records for approval sending out email alerts and then calling it record as well here for a major
records though workflow it will also update records workflow does a bit only on that specific record
or maybe on the parent or car.
But here what process builder works on the record and also the child records.
So process builder offers variety of options and tons of flexibility that we can work with.
In fact a process builder can go down a lot of code companies that we have in our system and even business
requirements that would demand code can sometimes be done with process builder.
So it is very much a buffer to sell in the upcoming videos.
We'll discuss about various business use cases then we can use process builder.
