    Hello Shaharyar

    The order in which individual actions and types of actions are executed is not guaranteed. However, field update actions are executed first, followed by other actions.

    Let If you create four actions

    1 New Task
    2 New Email
    3 New Field Update
    4 New Outbound Message

    Then Field Update must execute first.

    Hi Shahryar,

    There is no fixed order of execution in Salesforce but the Field Updation action execute first and all other later. But it is possible that it may follow a sequence like :

    • Field Update
    • New Task
    • Email Alert
    • Outbound message

    Hope it will help you.
