      what is the difference between criteria and condition in Salesforce?

      Posted by Yogesh on August 13, 2019 at 9:57 AM

      I am trying to understand the basic difference between criteria and conditions during the different processes that are built on Salesforce.

      Hi Yogesh,

      Criteria: Initial entry point which defines the start of the action to be taken. For e.g: When an Account record is created/updated... do something

      Condition: Specifics about the defined criteria which makes the action execution on very specific terms For e.g: When Shipping Zip Code on an Account is updated.. do something

      Criteria and condition are used interchangeably. I believe as of Winter '18, (almost) all of the UI reads "criteria", but if you happen to see "condition", it's the same thing. The criteria or condition of a rule is the data that must be true before the rule will be carried out.

      Thanks
