What type of operations can triggers in Flow Designer respond to?

Triggers in Flow Designer can respond to a variety of operational events that occur within the ServiceNow platform. The correct choice is focused on the range of operations that can initiate a flow.

Triggers can respond to CRUD operations—Create, Read, Update, Delete—allowing flows to be executed when records are manipulated within the system. This means that when a record is created, updated, or deleted, a flow can be initiated to carry out specific tasks, such as sending notifications or updating related records.

In addition to CRUD operations, Flow Designer can also respond to scheduled events. These scheduled events allow flows to be triggered based on time intervals or specific scheduling criteria set within the system.

Understanding this broad capability of triggers is essential because it demonstrates the flexibility of Flow Designer in automating workflows based on both data modifications and time-based criteria. Other options, such as user-generated events or system-generated alerts only, do not encompass the full scope of operations that can trigger flows in ServiceNow, which is why they are not suitable answers.
