Unlike the other rule types, which are all executed before the user's actions are completed and committed to the database, post commit rules are only executed when it is confirmed that the triggering event has completed successfully. This prevents cases where, for example, a notification email might be sent out even if a transaction failed to commit for any reason.

The qualifier tab and triggers available to post commit rules are the same as those available for custom action rules.

Keep the following points in mind when creating post commit rules:

•Actions in post commit rules are executed outside of a database transaction. No updates to the current record are made within a post commit rule.

•The Use template option is not available for post commit rules. The available options are Use automated Action and Notification (when implemented).
