Actual exam question for Salesforce's Advanced Administrator exam

Question #: 80
Topic #: 7

The administrator at Cloud Kicks noticed that a before trigger, which handles saving the original version of a record to an external database, fails. However, a flow configured for fast field updates runs successfully.

How should the administrator advise the developer?

ARecord-triggered flows that are configured to run before save execute prior to all before triggers.

BA validation rule could be preventing records from ever meeting the conitions in the trigger.

CThe trigger is writing the data to the wrong place in the external data archive.

DThe code could be trying to create duplicates in the archieve when it is unable to.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

One possible reason why the before trigger fails is that the code could be trying to create duplicates in the archive when it is unable to. A before trigger is a type of trigger that executes before a record is saved and can be used to validate or modify record data. In this case, the before trigger is supposed to save the original version of a record to an external database before it is updated or deleted in Salesforce. However, if the code does not handle errors or exceptions properly, it could try to create duplicate records in the external database when it is not allowed or possible. This could cause the trigger to fail and prevent the record from being saved in Salesforce.

That's a good point. The developer should check on that.

Ahh, I see what's going on. The developer must have forgotten to turn off their 'Accidental Duplicate Creator' mode in the code.

Hmm, I'm going with D. The trigger might be trying to create duplicates in the archive, which is causing the issue.

A) Record-triggered flows that are configured to run before save execute prior to all before triggers.

I think C is the answer. The developer is probably saving the data to the wrong place in the external archive.

I think the flow runs successfully because it executes after all before triggers
