Order of Execution

Defined sequence Salesforce follows when a record is saved, including flows, triggers, validation, assignment and commit.

Definition

Key steps: system validation, before-save flows, before triggers, system and custom validation rules, duplicate rules, save (not committed), after triggers, assignment and auto-response rules, escalation rules, after-save flows, entitlement rules, roll-up summary updates on parents, criteria-based sharing, commit, then post-commit logic like emails and async work.

Exam tip

Before-save flows run before before-triggers; after-save flows run after after-triggers.
