Process Builder

Process Builder is the advanced version of workflow. Process builder is used to automate complex business processes in real-time. Process builder is user-friendly and easy to configure only by point and click.

It helps create processes without writing triggers or code that makes it better in use.

That starts with the object on which we want to perform actions, which we can select according to our requirements. And then in the next step, we can add filter criteria based on which true and false condition process will move to the next step.

And lastly, the most important feature is that we can schedule actions in the future as well means that whenever resources are available, process builders will perform an action.
