Abstract

How do users know about the actions that are going on behind the scenes in a process created in Lightning Process Builder? Much of the time there may not be a requirement to let them know all the gory details of the internals of a process, although sometimes there are requirements to notify users of certain actions taken. What if we had a need to create a new record and then notify the user that the new record was created and he or she is the owner? What if we need to notify a group of users and not necessarily just one? Maybe there could be an instance in which they are not even notified when the process completes. There could be a requirement to postpone the notification to a later date, such as a couple of days or weeks in the future. Can that be handled with Lightning Process Builder? The answer is yes.
