The Process Builder is a tool in Salesforce which allows you to easily automate the business processes using a graphical representation of your process as you build it. Automated processes in the Salesforce Process Builder consist of:

- Initiate and scheduled actions to be executed when those criteria are met with.
Any change that allows a record to match the criteria mentioned above automatically triggers the action group.
