Order of operations in DocGen for Salesforce

I am using DocGen for Salesforce installed package in Salesforce. I need to run some Salesforce transactions (i.e. Flows and Apex code) after the output files are inserted into Salesforce when a DocGen package run from Salesforce is completed successfully. I know the only way to guarantee that the transactions run only after the output files are inserted back into Salesforce, is by using an Apex Trigger on Content Document Link. However, I am looking for an alternative to this approach.

If there is some official Nintex documentation that describes the order of operations, that would be very helpful. I want confirmation that ‘Create/Edit Record’ transaction runs only after Content Document Link insert is completed.

Hi ​@rcen-odm ,

There is a “Run at Beginning” checkbox field under the Create/Edit settings, which indicates that the Create/Edit operation will execute after the DDP run.

I can see that too but that does not confirm that this transaction runs only after Content Document Link is inserted in Salesforce. 

Also the help text actually says that “If selected, this Create/Edit Record will be executed at the beginning of the DocGen Package run process.”
