Congratulations, Tomasz! 🎉 Well done on passing the App Builder exam—it’s another fantastic achievement to add to your collection! 🌟 Best of luck as you gear up for the next challenge; we’re rooting for your success! 🚀
Hi guys is workflow and process builder still a thing on this exam or do you always opt for the flow option now?
Hi Kelly, thanks for reaching out! It actually depends on the question. Workflow Rules and Process Builder haven’t been completely removed from Salesforce, only the creation of new ones. When a requirement or scenario calls for new automation, we’ll opt for Flow creation. However, if there’s an existing Workflow Rule or Process Builder mentioned that needs updates, we’ll need to evaluate each capability to ensure it meets the requirement/scenario. Thanks for your insight!

I passed the test today. Thanks for the guidance. Id recommend if you don’t have experience in formula fields to look up most frequently used formulas for this exam. More specific formulas were rewritten out that I remember from being a consultant on this one. Other than that focus on force was a big help.
