# What is Process Builder?

> Process Builder is a legacy Salesforce automation tool for updating records and triggering actions when records change. Salesforce has replaced it with Flow and recommends migrating existing processes, but many orgs still run active processes alongside newer Flows.

## Why it matters

Active processes running beside the Flows meant to replace them cause duplicate work, ordering surprises and slow saves, and receive no new investment from Salesforce.

## In SyncOnAI 360

The SyncOnAI 360 audit flags active Process Builder processes and Workflow Rules, so they can be rebuilt in Flow and retired through recorded, reversible changes.
