Question Regarding Security and flows

Question

A Flow calls an Invocable Apex method, and Apex updates the same record that triggered the Flow. Will the Flow run again?

Hitesh Sharma · Accepted Answer

No, the Flow will not automatically run again just because the Invocable Apex method updates the same record.   If a  Record-Triggered Flow  calls an  Invocable Apex  method, and that Apex updates the same record, Salesforce does  not  recursively trigger the same Flow simply because of that Apex update.  However, the Apex update can cause  other automation  on that record to execute, depending on the automation configuration.  Example:   Record-Triggered Flow → Invocable Apex → Update same Account  The Flow doesn't automatically loop like:  Flow → Apex → Flow → Apex → ...  So the answer is:  No, not automatically.

No, the Flow itself won't automatically restart just because Apex updates the same record — Salesforce doesn't loop back into the  currently running  Flow from within its own transaction.  But watch out for this:    If that Apex update happens to match the entry criteria of a  Record-Triggered Flow  (even the same one), Salesforce  can  fire a  new  Flow execution — because to the platform, it's just another DML update on the record, not "the same Flow running again."  One-line takeaway:    Same Flow instance won't re-run recursively, but a fresh Flow trigger can fire on that DML — so it's still safer to add a guard condition (like checking if the specific field actually changed) if you want to avoid unintended re-entry.
