Importance of Having a Single Flow Trigger
Salesforce offers Flows as a no-code tool for users, claiming unlimited use. However, when trying to update a large number of records, like 1,000 or 10,000, issues may arise. Flows focus on single records, but they will process all records in a transaction, which could lead to problems if users aren't careful. So, while Flows can be helpful, their effectiveness might be challenged with larger updates.

How Do Salesforce Flow Wait Elements Work? Use Cases, Examples, and Best Practices
The "Wait for Amount of Time," "Wait Until Date," and "Wait for Conditions" Flow elements in Salesforce improve automation by allowing processes to pause. The "Wait for Amount of Time" helps schedule reminders, while "Wait Until Date" targets key business dates like contract renewals. "Wait for Conditions" pauses actions until certain criteria are met. These tools boost efficiency, accuracy, and customer engagement, helping organizations create smarter and more responsive workflows that align with their goals.
