IN processes automation and log question 1
according to your explanation duplicate rules will not run after the workflow rule.
according to salesforce duplicate rules are executed again, if the wf rules field updates the fields the same fields with the same values.
Please correct me if, I am wrong.
Hi Basil, thanks for the inquiry. Duplicate rules are fired in step 6 of the order of execution, which is before workflow rules (step 11). In step 11.b, note that it states “… Custom validation rules, flows, duplicate rules, processes, and escalation rules are not run again.” It is specified in that step that those events will not be run again. Here is a link to the documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.234.0.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm
Thank for the clarification. That’s my bad. A lot of reading LOL.
In the “Review”-section of the PD2Study Guide “Integration” there is an outdated answer to a Question.
“Which delarative option is available for comsuming platform event messages published by an external application. The Answer is Process builder, shouldnt it be “Flow, ProcessBuilder” ?
Hi Thomas, thanks for catching that. That’s true. We’ll have the review card updated.
Passed my PD2 exam today. Thanks focus on force for your guides and practice tests!
Hello Vasyl! We are glad to hear that you are now a certified Salesforce JS Developer II. Your preparation and diligence surely paid off. Congratulations and the whole FOF Team is happy for your new milestone!
Was it necessary to do the Trailhead too? Also, the Trailheads don’t mention anything about Salesforce Fundamentals?
I just recently passed my PD2 exam, and all I can say is that this study was tremendously helpful! The topics were spot on, though I had to do additional reading in the Developer Notes and do Trailhead modules, especially on LWC and Aura components.
Thank you for the tips you gave the other users, Claude. We’re sure that they would find that helpful. Moreso, CONGRATULATIONS on passing the PD2 Certification. We are glad that we were of help to you as you went along your Salesforce journey! Cheers!
Passed my PD2 cert, content was really very helpful . . Thanks :)
