4) Send an outbound message

All of these can be initiated when a record is created, condition meet.

 Process Builder

Using Process Builder we can:-

We can create a record can Update related records can Launch a Quick Action. We can Post to Chatter We can Launch a FlowWe can Call Apex code We can Submit for approval can Invoke another process

In Process Builder, We can update any type of field on any related record but Workflow only updates some type of field on a parent record of a Master-Detail relationship.

Procedure Builder has the capacity to design different on the off chance that state in one Process as opposed to separate Workflow rules.

On the off chance that you need your procedure to accomplish more than what procedure activities permit, don't stress we can likewise call Apex or a stream from a procedure.

Apex

With Apex you could do the following:

  1. Delete records
  2. Update unrelated records
  3. Share records with more complex criteria than Sharing Rules permits
  4. Add/remove users in Chatter Groups and Public Groups
  5. Create email templates that pull info from multiple records and Objects
  6. And more

Apex is a very powerful tool, but do your best to minimize its use and don’t be afraid to employ it, but make sure you think it through thoroughly to determine & if there is a way you can accomplish what you need declaratively. Utilizing Apex means that you will require to write test coverage. besides the more Apex you have, the more it will make arrangements from Sandboxes in light of the fact that the progressions should be validated against the entirety of the code

Process LimitsWhen building processes keep split limits and Apex governor limits in mind. In addition, a process’s API name must be special across all processes and flows in your org.
