The Cloud Kicks CFO requires any opportunity over $100,000 to be automatically sent to them, so they can sign off on the record before the deal…

A record-triggered Flow is the appropriate declarative tool to meet this requirement. The Flow can be configured to run automatically whenever an Opportunity record is created or updated. Inside the Flow, a decision element can check if the Opportunity's Amount is greater than $100,000. If this condition is met, the Flow can use the "Submit for Approval" core action to automatically send the record into a pre-defined approval process, routing it to the CFO for sign-off. This solution is fully automated and does not require custom code.

A. Submit for Approval button: This requires a user to manually click a button on the record page to initiate the approval process, which fails to meet the "automatically sent" requirement.

B. Einstein Next Best Action: This feature is designed to suggest recommendations or actions to users on a record page, not to enforce a mandatory, record-locking approval process.

C. Apex Triggers: While Apex code could be written to submit a record for approval, Flow is the preferred declarative automation tool for this use case, aligning with the clicks-not-code principle.

1. Salesforce Help Documentation, "Flow Core Action: Submit for Approval": "Submit a record for an approval process. You can use this action only in record-triggered flows." This directly confirms that a Flow is the tool used to automate the submission of a record into an approval process.

2. Salesforce Help Documentation, "Which Automation Tool Do I Use?": This guide positions Flow as the primary tool for building complex, record-triggered automation. It states, "If you need to build a complex, record-triggered automation that includes if/then logic and multiple actions, use Flow Builder." The scenario described fits this use case.

3. Trailhead, "Record-Triggered Flows" Module, "Create a Record-Triggered Flow" Unit: This unit explains how to create a flow that "launches automatically when a record is created or updated." This is the mechanism needed to check the Opportunity amount automatically.
