Record Created vs Form Validation — What’s the Difference?

I’m confused between “Record Created” and “Form Validation” triggers. They both seem to run when a record is submitted. What’s the actual difference?

Record Created runs after a new record is successfully saved.

Form Validation runs during the validation phase — before final submission completes.

So if I want to stop submission based on a condition, I should use Form Validation?

Exactly. Record Created is more for post-submission automation.

Think of Form Validation as pre-check logic and Record Created as post-action logic.
