When configuring an approval process, the available initial submission actions (triggered when a record is first submitted for approval) include sending notifications, creating tasks, and sending outbound messages.
* Why A (Outbound Message) is correct:Exact Extract:"Outbound messages can be configured as approval actions to send information to external systems when a record is submitted or approved." - Salesforce Help | Approval Processes Overview
* Why C (Task) is correct:Exact Extract:"Approval processes can create tasks for users as part of approval actions to ensure follow-up on record changes." - Salesforce Help | Approval Actions
* Why D (Email Alert) is correct:Exact Extract:"Email alerts can be sent automatically when a record is submitted, approved, rejected, or recalled." - Salesforce Help | Approval Processes Overview
* Why not B (Invocable Flow):Invocable Flows are not selectable as approval actions - they are used in Process Builder or Flow itself, not Approval Process configuration.
* Why not E (Decision Element):Decision elements are Flow components, not part of the Approval Process action set.
