Limits Shared with Other Features
Processes share some limits with rules and Visual Workflow.
In addition to the following limits, a process’s API Name must be unique across all processes and flows in your organization.
| Description | Per-Organization Limit |
|---|---|
| Total active rules and active processes per object. Rules include workflow rules, escalation rules, assignment rules, and auto-assignment rules. Invocable processes do not count toward this limit. |

| Active flows and processes | 500 |
| Total number of criteria nodes that are evaluated and actions that are executed at runtime | 2,000 |

The daily limit for emails sent from email alerts is 1,000 per standard Salesforce license per organization—except for Developer Edition organizations, where the daily workflow email limit is 15 per standard Salesforce license. The overall organization limit is 2,000,000. This limit is shared across all features that use workflow email alerts: workflow rules, approval processes, flows, and processes.
Apex Governors and Limits for Processes
Salesforce strictly enforces limits to ensure that runaway processes don’t monopolize shared resources in the multitenant environment. Processes are governed by the per-transaction limits that are enforced by Apex. If the process causes the transaction to exceed governor limits, the system rolls back the entire transaction. For details about the operations that are included in the transaction, see “Triggers and Order of Execution” in the Force.com Apex Developer’s Guide.
| Description | Per-Transaction Limit |
|---|---|
| Total number of SOQL queries issued | 100 |
| Total number of records retrieved by SOQL queries | 50,000 |
| Total number of DML statements issued | 150 |
| Total number of records processed as a result of DML statements | 10,000 |
Each “Create a Record” action uses one DML statement. Each “Quick Action” action uses one DML statement. Each “Update Records” action uses one SOQL query and one DML statement. Each “Flows” action can use multiple SOQL queries and DML statements, depending on the elements that the flow executes. For details, see Limits for Visual Workflow.
