Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 147

When a user edits the Postal Code on an Account, a custom Account text field named "Timezone" must be updated based on the values in another custom object called PostalCodeToTimezone__c.

What is the optimal way to implement this feature?

Answer options

• A. Build an account assignment rule.
• B. Build a flow with Flow Builder.
• C. Create an account approval process.
• D. Create a formula field.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best approach is to use Flow Builder to create a flow that automatically updates the 'Timezone' field based on changes to the Postal Code, as it allows for dynamic data manipulation. An account assignment rule and an approval process are not suitable for this requirement, and a formula field cannot be used to directly update another field based on another object's data.
