Change Data Capture (CDC)

Feature publishing change events for record creates, updates, deletes and undeletes so external systems stay in sync in near real time.

Definition

Change events include header fields (changeType, changedFields, transaction key) and the changed values. Entities are selected in Setup, and Apex change event triggers can subscribe asynchronously.

Exam tip

Choose CDC to replicate Salesforce record changes externally without custom triggers or polling.
