Question
An administrator at Cloud Kicks has a flow In production that is supposed to emit new words. However, no new records are being created. What could the issue be?
Options
- AThe flow is Inactive.
- BThe flow Is read only.
- CThe flow trigger is missing.
- DThe flow url Is deactivated.
Explanation
If a flow is not creating new records in production, the most likely issue is that the flow has been deactivated and is therefore not running.
Common mistakes.
- B. Flows are not designated as "read-only" in a way that would prevent record creation; if it could be edited, it could potentially be activated.
- C. While a flow might need a trigger (e.g., a record-triggered flow), an inactive flow simply won't run regardless of its trigger definition, preventing any execution.
- D. There is no standard "flow URL is deactivated" status for flows that would prevent record creation; a flow's URL might be incorrect or inaccessible, but the flow itself would be active or inactive.
