Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed why OOE is not only important but also critical for designing and developing flow to meet your business needs. We also reviewed a few anti-patterns that you should keep an eye on and think about while designing, developing, and testing your flows.

Remember to consider the OOE for all automation done inside and outside your flows. If you have an Apex trigger and a flow on the same given object at the same time, you need to understand in which order these are executed.

In the next chapter, we will explore five basic types of flows to automate our business processes. You will gain a deep understanding of the scenarios for each of the flow types: screen flows, record trigger flows, schedule trigger flows, platform event-triggered flows, and autolaunched flows.
