Universal Containers has a requirement that an email notification needs to be sent to an Account owner automatically 5 days before a related Contract ' s end date.
Which flow type and element combination should the Platform App Builder use?
A.
Schedule-triggered flow with a Get Records element and a Send Email action
B.
Record-triggered flow with a Send Email action, using a scheduled path
C.
Screen flow with a Send Email action and a Date element
D.
Autolaunched flow with a Wait element and a Send Email action
A schedule-triggered flow is appropriate when Salesforce must periodically identify records approaching a date and perform an automated action. Salesforce documents schedule-triggered flows as automation that runs at a specified time and frequency for batches of records. A daily scheduled flow can use Get Records to identify Contracts whose End Date is five days away, obtain the related Account information, and invoke Send Email for the Account owner. Salesforce provides the same architectural pattern for expiration reminders, where a daily schedule-triggered flow checks records and sends notifications a specified number of days before expiration. Screen Flow requires user interaction, while an autolaunched flow does not independently provide the required recurring schedule.
