Define Slow
Page Load Time
Record Save Time

What makes your org slow?
Performance
Technical
Debt
Hardware
Integrations
Data Volume
& Quality
Inefficient
code/low-code
Packages

5. #CD22
Record Triggered Automation
Choice of Execution Context

6. #CD22
Synchronous or Async

7. #CD22
General Automation Architecture
Example:
When an Opportunity is Stage updated to Negotiation:
- A task is created for the Client Care Manager*
*Client Care Manager is a custom lookup field to the User object on the Opportunity object.

9. #CD22
General Automation Architecture
• Synchronous; single transaction
• Coupled
• Slower

10. #CD22
Decoupled/Async Automation Architecture
Opportunity Stage

70ms*
(for PE)

*For a fresh developer org.

11. #CD22
Decoupled Automation Architecture
• Asynchronous; multiple transactions
• Decoupled
• Faster
• Easy on Governor Limits

12. #CD22
• PE transaction runs async so results are not visible on the UI after page refresh.
• Can be very tricky to debug.
• Governor Limits existing Integrations usage.
• Running user is Automated Process (can’t be changed, yet).
• Requires more planning and time to implement.
• There is a lot more beneath the surface to be considered(for complex
implementations and external integrations).
What’s the catch?

13. #CD22
• Always select “After Commit”.
• Implement extensive error handling.
• Avoid use cases where “Automated Process” user can cause problems.
• Review your org’s PE specific governor limits consumption before
choosing PE for your solution.
Best Practices

14. #CD22
Before Save or After Save

15. #CD22
Order of Execution

16. #CD22
Before Save or After Save
10x
faster
Before-save Flows After-save Flows

17. #CD22
When to choose what?
Before-save Flows
When you’re making
updates to same record
After-save Flows
When you want to
update related record(s)
or do some other action.

18. #CD22
• If your business logic relies on fields that’re populated in after context, then you’ll
have to implement the logic in after-save context.
For example, Id, Auto-number, Formula etc. type fields.
Before Save Exception*

Pro Tip: Be mindful when using Formula for Entry
Conditions
