Salesforce Exam Advanced Administrator Topic 7 Question 80 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Advanced Administrator exam
Question #: 80
Topic #: 7
[All Advanced Administrator Questions]

The administrator at Cloud Kicks noticed that a before trigger, which handles saving the original version of a record to an external database, fails. However, a flow configured for fast field updates runs successfully.

How should the administrator advise the developer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

One possible reason why the before trigger fails is that the code could be trying to create duplicates in the archive when it is unable to. A before trigger is a type of trigger that executes before a record is saved and can be used to validate or modify record data. In this case, the before trigger is supposed to save the original version of a record to an external database before it is updated or deleted in Salesforce. However, if the code does not handle errors or exceptions properly, it could try to create duplicate records in the external database when it is not allowed or possible. This could cause the trigger to fail and prevent the record from being saved in Salesforce.

That's a good point. The developer should check on that.

Ahh, I see what's going on. The developer must have forgotten to turn off their 'Accidental Duplicate Creator' mode in the code.

Hmm, I'm going with D. The trigger might be trying to create duplicates in the archive, which is causing the issue.

A) Record-triggered flows that are configured to run before save execute prior to all before triggers.

I think C is the answer. The developer is probably saving the data to the wrong place in the external archive.

Nah, it's gotta be B. The validation rule is probably messing with the trigger's ability to save the record.

B) A validation rule could be preventing records from ever meeting the conitions in the trigger.

The trigger might be trying to write to the wrong place in the external database.

I'm pretty sure it's option A. The flow runs first, before the trigger, so that's why the trigger is failing.

A) I agree, the flow running before the trigger could be causing the issue.

That could be a possibility. It might be conflicting with the trigger.
