SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
Exhibit
(function evaluateRule(current) {
return current.state == 2 || current.state == 3;
})(current);Refer to the exhibit. This condition script is used in a notification. For which states will the notification trigger?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse `changesTo()` with a static state check, assuming it behaves like `current.state == 3`, and thus incorrectly think the notification only triggers for state 2 or only for state 3.
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
✓
Both state 2 and state 3
The condition script uses `current.state.changesTo(3)` which returns true only when the state transitions to 3 from a different state. Since the script also includes `current.state == 2`, the notification triggers for state 2 as well. Therefore, both state 2 and state 3 will cause the notification to fire.
