Happy Holidays everyone. I hope you had a nice relaxing holiday these past few weeks and that you're about to have a terrific New Year. The last couple of years, the Spring release notes have been coming out right before Christmas and this year was no different as they came…
Happy New Year! Gears is ending 2018 with a ton of momentum and we're looking to start off 2019 with adding to the team across multiple career opportunities. 2019 is looking like it's going to be a huge year for us as we continue to expand across multiple clouds. For…
Thank you to all who joined our Communities webinar on Halloween! If you missed the webinar, we have posted the recording here. We got some *spooktacular* questions in the chat after the demo and we wanted to recap for everyone who made it, or for anyone just now catching up…
Most people haven't put a ton of thought into Salesforce profile pictures. Salesforce Administrators are certainly not "most people" and they tend to put a little more thought into it... but even then, not all of them have spent much time thinking about them. For the most part, your users…
Fall is in full effect - the leaves are falling, the weather is getting cold, Halloween is almost here and the World Series just wrapped up, where my beloved Dodgers lost a second consecutive one. Only way to get a little cheerful from that is to dive into Winter 19…
Winter 19 is out to the last of the instances with this weekend's releases, so everyone can now get at all of the features. Normally by now we've already finished our release write-ups but I had a ton of travel with Dreamforce (which unfortunately wipes out most of two different…
I hope everyone had a terrific summer. This one went quick, but nothing makes you realize it's over quicker than having Dreamforce around the corner and the Winter 19 release notes already being out. Winter 19 is coming in early October, so even though it feels like Summer 18 just…
In our introduction to GearsDataMask, we spoke about how inadvertent PII / PID is a real problem for Service organizations. You can have processes in place for your agents to ensure that credit card numbers, social security numbers and other PII are stored in a secure way - if at…
With Summer 18 chatbots have been delivered to the Salesforce masses with the introduction of Einstein Bots. We talked about this a bit in our Summer 18 Service Cloud write-up, but this is a big enough feature that we're going to dedicate a whole post to it and how it…
Summer 18 is already out across everyone's instances. We had our upgrade this weekend and we're already setting up some of the new features (as predicted, it's only been 2 days and that scuba-diving bear is already freaking me out when I'm waiting for Lightning to load. He just has…
Happy Memorial Day everyone and I hope you're enjoying the weekend. The Summer 18 release is just a couple of weeks from going live and this is part 2 of our release write-up. In Part 1 we focused on the Sales Cloud, Einstein Sales Cloud and some of the general…
Even though for those of us in New England it feels like Winter just ended, Summer 18 is right around the corner and the release notes are out. (I have to admit, I am not sure about the Summer 18 logo though. First, I'd never want to go snorkeling with…
GDPR is fast approaching and it is going to have an impact on nearly every organization. The question really is - will that impact be general confusion and sometimes chaos on exactly how a company is responding to GDPR or will the impact be a meaningful and thought-out plan of…
This is the fourth and final part of our Spring 18 write-ups. As a quick reminder, we covered Sales Cloud in our first point, Service Cloud and Field Service in our second and then Communities in our previous post. Lately, our last post has touched on a floating topic. For…
Welcome to the third post of our four part Salesforce Spring 18 release write-ups. In part one we covered all of the Lightning Sales Cloud, Sales Cloud Einstein and platform changes. Part two was all about Service Cloud and Field Service Lightning. For this part we'll be covering all of…
I hope everyone had a terrific New Year and that you're staying warm in this deep freeze. Hopefully things start thawing out soon and a good precursor to the real spring coming is that Salesforce Spring 18 is just a few short weeks away from going live. The release notes…
