Question #: 235
Topic #: 3
The Director of Customer Service wants to receive a notification when a case stays in the new status for more than four business hours. Which two automation processes should be used to accomplish this? Choose 2 answers
Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer
The design should be easy for another admin to maintain. Screen flows guide a user through prompts, collect input, branch through decisions, and update records as part of a controlled interaction. The proper configuration is B. Flow Builder; D. Escalation rules. This is the option that best matches the Salesforce responsibility being tested under Business Logic and Process Automation.
A practical administrator would confirm the object context, the user action, and whether the result must be stored, calculated, displayed, automated, approved, or deployed. Here the selected answer is the one that acts at the correct point in that chain. It keeps the configuration declarative and avoids inventing a process around a problem that Salesforce already has a native feature to solve.
The wrong answers confuse adjacent platform concepts. A (Validation Rule) is only a partial match because A validation rule blocks saves; it does not create records, route approvals, display components, or grant access. C (Scheduled Apex) is not enough: Apex may solve advanced gaps, but it is not the first choice when a native declarative feature fully handles the requirement. This keeps the build declarative, traceable in Setup, and easier to support when the org changes later.
For guided work, a screen flow can ask questions in sequence, branch based on answers, and write results back to one or more records.
