An Autolaunched Flow with a Schedule Trigger is configured to run at a specified start time and frequency (daily, weekly, etc.). These flows do not rely on user actions or APIs to execute — instead, they are set to run at defined intervals using the flow’s internal scheduling configuration.
Correct Option:
C. Scheduled time and frequency: ✅ Salesforce allows admins to configure start dates and times as well as frequency when setting up an Autolaunched Flow with a Schedule Trigger.
Incorrect Options:
A. Metadata and Tooling API: Used for deployment, not for flow execution.
B. REST API: Can invoke autolaunched flows, but this is unrelated to the schedule trigger.
D. Custom Apex Classes: Not needed for scheduling standard flows; only required for complex logic beyond Flow’s capabilities.
Reference Extracts from Salesforce Help Documentation on Scheduled Flows:
“Autolaunched Flows with a Schedule Trigger run in the background at scheduled times without user interaction.”
“Specify start time and frequency during configuration.”
