What is true about using External Objects in flows?

External Objects in Salesforce connect to data that resides in external systems. When used in Flows:

A. Correct — You can read and update External Object records in Flows, but you cannot create new External Object records via Flow due to their read-only nature in terms of creation.

Incorrect Options:

B. Incorrect — External Objects are accessed via OData connectors, not exclusively through SOAP.

C. Incorrect — External Objects have certain limitations and are not treated exactly the same as standard objects.

D. Incorrect — You typically do not update Display URLs or External IDs via flow; they are managed via the external source.

Reference Extracts from Salesforce Process Automation Study Guide:

“Flows support read and update operations on external objects but not create operations.”

“External Objects rely on external systems to manage their lifecycle and do not support DML operations such as create.”
