Things to Know

Reuse

...

Lots of known issues https://success.salesforce.com/issues_index?tag=Process%20Builder

Updates

  • Can't save it even as a new Version of the process - you have to save it as a completely new process. 
  • It doesn't even remind you what you had previously saved it as - this could get hugely cumbersome. 

Fields

  • Can't use formulas for creating field values. Options:
    • Create the formulas in other fields
    • Use Publisher Actions
    • Use Flow Triggers. 

Using the fields selector has a few issues

  • Can't search on the fields
  • You have to scroll down to see the whole fields list
  • Clicking on the name of a field with a related list just selects the field - you have to click on the arrow. 

Emails

  • NOTE: You are NOT searching for email templates, you are searching for email alerts already created in the Workflows area. 
  • Email search only searches on the API name of the email alert.
  • Can't send emails from org wide addresses - now you would probably want to do this for about 99% of your emails https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p30000000T5cTAAS. (However, I can create a process and add one of these emails to it, but have not tried to activate it or test it yet).
