# What is Record-triggered Flow?

> A record-triggered Flow runs automatically when a record is created, updated or deleted, either before the save to update fields on the same record quickly, or after the save to update other records, send notifications or call other automation.

## Why it matters

Several record-triggered Flows, Apex triggers and validation rules can run on the same save, and their combined effect is what users experience. Overlap between them is a common cause of slow saves and confusing behaviour.

## In SyncOnAI 360

The SyncOnAI 360 audit flags several Flows on one trigger and overlapping record-triggered Flows, and the chat lists everything that runs on an object.
