An app builder needs to create new automation on an object. Which best practice should the app builder follow when building out automation?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
This is a governance decision before it is a configuration click. Record-triggered automation should be designed so administrators can predict order, troubleshoot outcomes, and maintain rules without scattering logic across many overlapping tools. The proper configuration is A. One Flow per object. 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 rejected choices solve different problems. B (One validation rule per object) should be rejected because A validation rule blocks saves; it does not create records, route approvals, display components, or grant access.
C (One invocable process per object) would be fragile here because it could produce an inconsistent result once different users, records, or apps are tested. D (One record change process per object) does not fit cleanly; it solves a symptom of the problem rather than the Salesforce mechanism that owns the result. The configuration remains understandable for future admins because the decision is visible in metadata rather than buried in a workaround.
