SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
A business rule is configured to run on 'after' update. Which TWO of the following conditions would cause the rule to execute? (Select two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often think an unchecked condition checkbox means the rule never runs, but it actually means the rule always runs because there is no condition to evaluate.
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
✓
The condition checkbox is unchecked (no condition).
When the condition checkbox is unchecked, the business rule has no condition script, so it always executes on the specified event (after update). Option D is correct because a condition script that returns true explicitly tells the rule to run. The 'after' update timing means the rule runs after the database write, but the condition still controls whether execution occurs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The condition script returns false.
Why it's wrong here
A false condition prevents execution.
- ✓
The condition checkbox is unchecked (no condition).
Why this is correct
Unchecked condition means rule runs unconditionally.
- ✗
The condition checkbox is checked but script returns false.
Why it's wrong here
False condition prevents execution.
- ✓
The condition script returns true.
Why this is correct
If condition is checked and script returns true, rule runs.
