Which flow type should NTO use to start the flow?
Which flow type should NTO use to start the flow?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
An On-Demand Flow is designed specifically for marketing interactions initiated externally through an API request. Salesforce allows external applications to invoke an On-Demand Flow through the REST API using the Flow invocable-action endpoint and provide required runtime inputs with that request.
This architecture fits an external airline operational system that already knows when an itinerary has changed and which passengers are affected. The external service can initiate the flow immediately instead of waiting for a segment refresh or a scheduled marketing process. The flow can then execute personalized SMS messaging using the passenger and itinerary information supplied through its runtime context.
A dynamic segment is inefficient for an event where the initiating system already knows the affected audience and requires immediate action. Segment publication introduces additional processing and isn't necessary merely to reconstruct the passenger set. Option C uses generic Flow terminology but doesn't identify the purpose-built API-triggerable Marketing Cloud Next flow type.
The uploaded master bank identifies A. Salesforce explicitly states that On-Demand Flows can be invoked via REST API for immediate SMS interactions initiated by external customer activity.
