Record-triggered flow object and entry configuration

Key Takeaway

In the Start element, pick the object, then the trigger, then entry conditions. The "Only when a record is updated to meet the condition requirements" option runs the flow on an update only when the record moves from not meeting the conditions to meeting them.

A record-triggered flow is automation that runs in the background when a record of a chosen object is created, updated, or deleted. You configure it in the Start element, where entry conditions make the flow run only for the records and changes that matter.

What a record-triggered flow is

A record-triggered flow runs automatically in the background whenever someone creates, updates, or deletes a specific type of record. Compare it with two other flow types: someone clicks through a screen flow, and a schedule-triggered flow runs at set times.

After you activate a record-triggered flow, it runs every time, whether the change comes from the Salesforce interface, a spreadsheet import, or an API integration.
