Process Builder and Workflow Rules are being retired by Salesforce:?here's what you need to do.

Salesforce will stop supporting Workflow Rules and Process Builder automation at the end of 2022. Although your existing workflow rules and process builders will keep working, you won't be able to build new automation with them. Instead, you'll need to use Flow to build new automation.

Compared to Process Builders, Flows have the following significant advantages:

• Process Builder is less likely to run into system restrictions while processing a large number of records than Flow, which is more effective and operates more quickly.
• Flow can do more intricate sets of actions on numerous objects.
• Records may be deleted by the flow.

Workflow Rules and Process Builders can now be converted to #flow using tools provided by Salesforce. Without a doubt, you'll need to modify and polish the resultant flows as well as create new flows for any additional processes you'll require.

The capability of running a record-triggered flow "before save" is the most crucial technical feature of Flow. Because all Process Builders and Workflow Rules execute "after save," this is quite useful.?

What does this mean?

Let's imagine you want to update a different field on an opportunity record when the "stage" changes (for example, the close date?field).

The system saves the opportunity with the updated Stage value first when using Process Builder or Workflow Rule, and then the Process Builder or Workflow Rule updates the other field and saves the opportunity once more.

You can wind up storing the record more than once if your process builder has many steps that each involve a separate modification to the opportunity.

Automations like Apex triggers may run again on the record with each new save.

Using Flow, the other field is updated before saving the opportunity, resulting in a single save that includes both the stage modification and the desired field update.

Most of your Process Builders and Workflow Rules almost certainly require same-record changes, so switching them to record-triggered before-save flows should result in a performance increase instantly.
