Flow Time Based Patterns

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: automation  ·  Last updated:

Time-based execution in Salesforce Flow — Scheduled Paths in record-triggered flows (delays measured against a record date or trigger fire time), the Wait element in autolaunched / orchestration flows, scheduled flows that run on a cron-like cadence, and the time-zone rules that decide when 'tomorrow at 9 AM' actually fires. Covers the offset semantics (`+N` days vs `-N` days from a date field), the requeueing behavior on the source record changing, and the workflow-rule-time-based-action replacement playbook. NOT for the basic `Decision` or `Loop` element (that's plain Flow), NOT for Apex `System.scheduleBatch` (different runtime, see apex/scheduled-apex).

From the source SKILL.md

Time-based logic in Flow has three distinct mechanisms, each with different runtime semantics, governor scope, and time-zone behavior. Confusing them — using a Wait element in a scheduled flow, or expecting a Scheduled Path to re-evaluate when the source record changes — produces some of the most confused-debug Flow incidents.
