description: Create a record-triggered flow to publish platform events of Data 360 actions. You can use the published platform event to resume your paused auto-launched flow. With a record-triggered flow, you can update another record, send a notification, initiate a process, or maintain data consistency. A record-triggered flow runs only when a record is created or updated. It can update a record 10 times faster than a record-change process.

# Create a Record-Triggered Flow in Data Cloud

Create a record-triggered flow to publish platform events of Data 360 actions. You can use the published platform event to resume your paused auto-launched flow. With a record-triggered flow, you can update another record, send a notification, initiate a process, or maintain data consistency. A record-triggered flow runs only when a record is created or updated. It can update a record 10 times faster than a record-change process.
