Scheduled-Triggered Flow
Record-Triggered Flow

Our sales team needs to be alerted about specific opportunities in real-time- and if it is important
they need additional incentive to respond immediately.”
● “Our opportunity names are all sorts of messed up! Sometimes the lead name is first, sometimes
the capture date is first, sometimes the account owner is first. We need a standardized way of
naming opportunities because our support team is overwhelmed!”

21. PlanProphet is powered by
● PlanProphet’s foundation is based on Salesforce, but is built to work exclusively for the print industry.
● Places your team at the forefront of CRM, Sales and Marketing Automation technology.
32. Framework Building Approach
1
Framework Mentality
Identify features that should
be packed into a framework.
● Feature is commonly
needed in most
organizations.
● Many different
implementations from
different team members.
Time Allocation
● Develop 1st version when needed for
a project. Allocate further time to
make it generic and reusable.
● Keep adding elements that can be
used in future projects.
Document + Push + Reuse
Features are properly documented and
placed in a shared Git repository to
facilitate access and collaboration.
33. Common Frameworks and Utilities
1
Callout Utility
Build and send HTTP
Requests and process
HTTP Responses. Use
Named Credentials.
Trigger Framework
Standardized way of
handling apex triggers.
● Activate/Deactivate
via code.
● Reusable handler
classes.
Logger Framework
Create custom and
persistent logs
imperatively. Log
unhandled exceptions.
Math Utility
Common arithmetic
calculations not
present in the apex
native Math class.
…
34. Unified Coding Standards
2
Naming convention (classes, methods,
variables, utilities, handlers, etc).
Coding style (Indentation, spacing,
spelling, comments, etc).
Rules and recommendations (Exception
handling, PMD Source Analyzer, etc).
Easier to Read!!
● Gives a uniform appearance to code
written by different engineers.
● Improves readability and
maintainability.
● Reduces complexity.
● It promotes sound programming
practices and increases efficiency of the
programmers.
● Reduce security concerns and
performance issues as a result of poor
coding practices.
● Better bug fixing process!!
Soft Laws
35. Reusability as a Rule
3
What is it?
The practice of using existing
code or components to create
new software applications or
features.
How it helps?
Code reuse can reduce
development time, cost, and
errors, as well as enhance
consistency, reliability, and
security.
● Develop features by layers, from
Generic to Specific.
● Identify pieces that can be reused
(repeated code, commonly needed
routines, etc).
● Rule of 3:
○ If you repeat it once, copy it.
○ If you repeat it twice, refactor it.
My Rule of 3 has 2
If you repeat it once:
REFACTOR IT.
37. Frequent Team Touchpoints
4
Not much good can
come from
frameworking, reusing,
and standardizing if
team members are not
aware of each other’s
contributions…
Presentation and Q&A about new
features uploaded to our library.
Discussion about industry standards,
Salesforce releases, trends, etc.
Brainstorming on how to address
concerns and issues.
Even some work unrelated topics. ;)
Specifics about ongoing projects are
not discussed here.
41. Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements about, among other things, trend analyses and future events, future financial performance, anticipated growth, industry prospects, environmental, social and
governance goals, and the anticipated benefits of acquired companies. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any such
risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, Salesforce’s results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The risks and
uncertainties referred to above include those factors discussed in Salesforce’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to: impact of, and actions we may
take in response to, the COVID-19 pandemic, related public health measures and resulting economic downturn and market volatility; our ability to maintain security levels and service performance meeting the
expectations of our customers, and the resources and costs required to avoid unanticipated downtime and prevent, detect and remediate performance degradation and security breaches; the expenses associated with our
data centers and third-party infrastructure providers; our ability to secure additional data center capacity; our reliance on third-party hardware, software and platform providers; the effect of evolving domestic and foreign
government regulations, including those related to the provision of services on the Internet, those related to accessing the Internet, and those addressing data privacy, cross-border data transfers and import and export
controls; current and potential litigation involving us or our industry, including litigation involving acquired entities such as Tableau Software, Inc. and Slack Technologies, Inc., and the resolution or settlement thereof;
regulatory developments and regulatory investigations involving us or affecting our industry; our ability to successfully introduce new services and product features, including any efforts to expand our services; the success

businesses and technologies; our ability to compete in the markets in which we participate; the success of our business strategy and our plan to build our business, including our strategy to be a leading provider of
enterprise cloud computing applications and platforms; our ability to execute our business plans; our ability to continue to grow unearned revenue and remaining performance obligation; the pace of change and
innovation in enterprise cloud computing services; the seasonal nature of our sales cycles; our ability to limit customer attrition and costs related to those efforts; the success of our international expansion strategy; the
demands on our personnel and infrastructure resulting from significant growth in our customer base and operations, including as a result of acquisitions; our ability to preserve our workplace culture, including as a result
of our decisions regarding our current and future office environments or work-from-home policies; our dependency on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the Internet; our real estate and office
facilities strategy and related costs and uncertainties; fluctuations in, and our ability to predict, our operating results and cash flows; the variability in our results arising from the accounting for term license revenue
products; the performance and fair value of our investments in complementary businesses through our strategic investment portfolio; the impact of future gains or losses from our strategic investment portfolio, including
gains or losses from overall market conditions that may affect the publicly traded companies within our strategic investment portfolio; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to develop our
brands; the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our results; the valuation of our deferred tax assets and the release of related valuation allowances; the potential availability of
additional tax assets in the future; the impact of new accounting pronouncements and tax laws; uncertainties affecting our ability to estimate our tax rate; uncertainties regarding our tax obligations in connection with
potential jurisdictional transfers of intellectual property, including the tax rate, the timing of the transfer and the value of such transferred intellectual property; uncertainties regarding the effect of general economic and
market conditions; the impact of geopolitical events; uncertainties regarding the impact of expensing stock options and other equity awards; the sufficiency of our capital resources; the ability to execute our Share
Repurchase Program; our ability to comply with our debt covenants and lease obligations; the impact of climate change, natural disasters and actual or threatened public health emergencies; and our ability to achieve our
