What is Record Triggered Orchestration and How to Create it

Want to make things easier and faster in your business? Automation is the answer! Salesforce can help with this using something called Record Triggered Orchestration, or RTO. RTO is like a robot that can do tasks automatically when you add or change information. This can save time and help your business grow.

What is Record Triggered Orchestration?

Record Triggered Orchestration allows you to create automated workflows that execute whenever specific actions occur within your data records. These actions, like creating a new customer record or updating an existing order, act as triggers, setting the automation in motion.

So if you Ever wished you could automate repetitive tasks based on changes in your data? Look no further than Record Triggered Orchestration.

Use Case Example:

Consider yourself an employee of an online retailer of electronic gadgets. Customers frequently browse your website for products they want to buy. A customer goes through numerous stages before their order gets delivered once they have made a purchase from you. This whole process can be automated using Record Triggered Orchestration method

  • Background Setup: Includes steps performed in the background like record creation or deletion, sending emails, etc.
  • Interactive Setup: Involves steps that are displayed on the user’s UI through screens.
  • Mulesoft Setup: An advanced topic that may involve integrating with Mulesoft.

Step 6: Configure Stage Exit Conditions

While setting up each stage, define the exit conditions. These conditions determine when the stage is considered completed, either when all steps are finished or when a specific auto-launched flow returns a TRUE value.

Configure Stage Exit Conditions

Useful Tip: Before making the Record Triggered Orchestration flow, analyze your business processes to find the places in which automation can be most fruitfully applied. Begin by following simple flows and when you feel comfortable, introduce more complexity.

Step 7: Configure Steps

After a stage is completed, configure individual steps within it. Steps can be set to run sequentially after another step, at the start of the stage (where all steps under it run together), or when a specific flow returns TRUE, similar to the stage exit condition.

When constructing a step, select the flow type (screen flow or auto-launched flow), specify the record ID from which the flow should be called, and assign a user.

Configure Steps

By following these steps, you can create a comprehensive Record Triggered Orchestration flow in Salesforce to automate and streamline your business processes.
