C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
A company wants to ensure that when an employee's 'Job Information' is updated, a notification is sent to the employee's manager. The administrator creates a business rule on the Job Information object. Which trigger event should the administrator use to ensure the notification is sent after the changes are saved?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming OnSave is sufficient for post-save actions; however, OnSave occurs before the save is committed, while OnPostSave ensures the save was successful.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
OnPostSave
The OnPostSave event is designed to execute after a record has been successfully saved. This guarantees that the notification is sent only when the changes are committed, aligning with the requirement. Other events either fire too early or are not related to the save action.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
OnInit
Why it's wrong here
OnInit fires when the portlet is initialized, before any user interaction or data changes. It is used for setting default values or initializing the UI. It does not respond to save events, so it cannot be used to send a notification after changes are saved. This event is entirely unsuitable for the scenario.
- ✗
OnChange
Why it's wrong here
OnChange triggers when a specific field changes, but it fires during the editing process, before the record is saved. The requirement is to send a notification after the changes are saved. Using OnChange might send the notification prematurely or multiple times as fields are modified. Therefore, it is not the appropriate event for post-save notifications.
- ✗
OnSave
Why it's wrong here
OnSave triggers when the save action is initiated, but before the data is committed to the database. While it is closer to the save event, it does not guarantee that the save will be successful. If the save fails, the notification might still be sent. The requirement specifies after the changes are saved, which implies a successful save. Thus, OnSave is not the best choice.
- ✓
OnPostSave
Why this is correct
OnPostSave triggers after the record has been successfully saved to the database. This ensures that the notification is sent only after the changes are persisted. This event is specifically designed for actions that should occur after a successful save, such as sending notifications or triggering integrations. Therefore, it meets the requirement precisely.
