What is Process Builder Salesforce

Process Builder Salesforce is the advanced version of workflow rules which is simple and has a powerful design. Process builder in Salesforce allows user to :

• Create your processes using a convenient layout with point-and-click efficiency.
• Create your whole process in one place rather than using multiple workflow rules.
• Create processes by collaborating with different teams in your business.
• Stop using Apex code to automate simple tasks.

Process Builder salesforce or Visual workflow tools allow users to create customized processes and wizard-like user experiences. Both tools offer a large selection of actions they can perform based on criteria defined by the user. Available actions can be extended by packages installed in the org. This provides another way in which you can expose your functionality for building customized scenarios. This approach does not require the user to write any code.

Workflow in Salesforce enables you to set up  workflow rules. A workflow rule identifies what kinds of record changes or additions trigger specified workflow actions, such as sending email alerts and updating record fields. Workflow rules and actions are associated with a specific object (and can cross objects only to update fields on a related master record).
