Salesforce Admin & Developer interview questions and answers
The most frequently asked Salesforce Admin & Developer interview questions, with simple answers to help you revise before your interview.
01What is the difference between a profile and a permission set?
A profile defines a user's baseline permissions and every user has one. Permission sets grant additional permissions without changing the profile.
02What is the difference between a lookup and master-detail relationship?
In a master-detail relationship the child record depends on the parent — deleting the parent deletes the child, and roll-up summaries are available. A lookup relationship is loosely coupled.
03What are governor limits?
Governor limits are runtime limits enforced by Salesforce in its multi-tenant environment, such as the number of SOQL queries or DML statements per transaction.
04What is Flow in Salesforce?
Flow is a declarative automation tool to build business processes — such as updating records, sending emails or guiding users through screens — without code.
05What is a trigger in Apex?
An Apex trigger is code that runs before or after record events such as insert, update or delete, used for complex logic not possible with declarative tools.
