What happens when multiple object workflow conditions are met?

When multiple object workflow conditions are met, the following actions might take place:

  1. Sequential Processing: Process the workflow conditions in a sequential manner based on the order they're defined. Each condition is evaluated, and if the condition is met, the associated actions are executed.
  2. Execution of Actions: If multiple conditions are met, the actions associated with each met condition will be executed. This means if there are multiple workflows with different actions, all actions for the met conditions will be triggered.
  3. Order of Execution: The order in which the conditions and their respective actions are executed can be crucial. Depending on the configuration, it could impact the final outcome, especially if actions have dependencies on previous actions or conditions.
  4. Notification and Logging: Typically, any actions performed because conditions are met, such as sending notifications, updating records, or invoking other processes, will be logged for auditing and tracking purposes.

To ensure your desired outcome, carefully design the workflow conditions and actions, considering their sequence and potential interactions. For example, if there are many "Before Update" triggers, consider combining the Object Work Flows (OWFs) so that they don't run at the same time to avoid a run-around condition. You should also test the workflows to observe their behavior and make changes as needed.
