Explanation

A Record-based trigger causes a flow to run in response to database events on a specific table - such as when a record is created or updated. It listens for changes to records and fires the flow accordingly. Date-based triggers fire at scheduled times, Application-based triggers respond to platform events like approvals or SLA breaches, and the other options (On-change, Updated-date) are not standard Flow Designer trigger types.
