Share Records Using Lightning Flow
What is Sharing via Lightning Flow?
Automatically Give User Access to a Record
Automated sharing of an individual record, with
an individual user, at the level you specify in the
flow
More Targeted Sharing Than Other Options
Doesn’t depend on values in the record’s fields
(like sharing rules)
Less Manual Sharing!
Record editor can share the record with any
user in the org, without all the clicks of manual
sharing
Share records dynamically with fewer clicks!
Is Lightning Flow Right For Your Use Case?
Record Access Based on Record Role?
You need to give access to a user based on their role
on that specific record (like Contract Router or Case
Secondary Support)
All Users With That Record Role Need the Same
Level of Access
If any user with this record role should not have edit
access to their record, set the standard access to
‘Read’ and extend from there

What tool would you use to create an interactive interface for your users?
A. Report Builder
C. Formula Editor
B. Process Builder
D. Flow Builder
The Value of Having a Dedicated
Integration User
Security and Data Integrity
Considerations with Integrations:
Integrating external tools with Salesforce and
providing them access to your data always carries
some risk – so plan to minimize it
In many organizations, integration authentications
are done using the Salesforce System
Administrator’s own license, which gives
extremely broad access
Why and how to make the change today
No integration Should Ever Have Full
Admin Access in Salesforce:
Giving 3rd party integration full Admin access
means it can: reset or delete your users,
delete records, reset user’s passwords, be
able to log in as any user and more
A 3rd party application
should not be able to
these things
Greg Poirier
cloudkettle.com | @cloudkettle
Leverage a Dedicated Salesforce
Integration User to Ensure Your
Integrations Are Stable, Auditable, and
Secure:
A Salesforce Integration User is a dedicated (not
used by any human) full Salesforce license that has
a custom Profile, Permission Set and is used for
any 3rd party integrations
An Integration User is a more secure, auditable
way to move data into and out of your instance
without relying on an existing user’s license

Automate Repetitive Tasks with
Salesforce Macros
Why Use Macros?
Do Manual Things Simpler and Faster
Macros allow you to automate manual tasks and
make repetitive tasks faster
Remove the Possibility For Errors
Removes the human element. Provides the same
behavior every time
How to Create Macros
Launch the Macro Builder
Press M to launch the macro builder or if it is a
utility item click the action
Click Create a Macro Or + If There Are
Already Macros
Click edit instructions to launch the macro
builder. You can add logic or create a macro
that runs
David Palmquist
@DavidPalmquist
Add Logic to Macros
Macros Support And and OR Logic
You can chain multiple logic steps together to
evaluate multiple criteria at the same time. You
can also group the logic block to have one
macro perform multiple instructions
Macros Are Binary
Macros are either true or false. If the logic is
true then the instruction, e.g. Send Email or
Create a Task, will run. If its false the macro still
runs but the instruction wont.

Accelerate Adoption Using the App “Quick
Actions Everywhere”
Step 1: Track your User Requests
Use the Case Object or a Custom Object
A Case represents the user request with its
ownership, status, details, and any other
information you want to capture
Group User Requests into Releases
A release is a simple custom object that represents
a deployment. Fields include: Deployment Date,
Status, Type (Bug Fix, Planned). Each case has a
lookup to a Release
Steps to build a Development tracking tool that truly rocks!
That’s so Meta: Document Your Development
in Salesforce
Step 2: Track your Development as You Go
Create the Component Custom Object
The Component Represents a piece of configuration in
your Org – a field, Validation Rule, etc. Through fields
on the object, capture the Component Label, API name,
Object, Type, etc
Create the Component Change Custom Object
This master-detail object to the Component has a lookup
to a Case and tracks each change you make on a
component. Key fields: Action (Create, Modify, etc.),
Sandbox, Development Status, Deployment Status
(Pending, Change Set)
Carissa Smith
Carissa.lucyk@gmail.com
Step 3: Release Your Changes with Peace
of Mind
Release Components Report
Create a report of Releases with Cases with Component
Changes, grouped by Deployment Status and then Type
(the types you choose in the Change Set picklist)
Use the Report to Build Your Change Set
As you add Components to the Change Set, mark
Component Changes as “Change Set” and keep track of
your count to validate
Amazing Benefits of this Approach
Document Why Everything Exists in Your Org
Look at a Component to see the original Case it was attached
to, any related Components, and how it has changed since
All Your Development is Trackable!
Pull a report of pending changes by sandbox to determine if you
can refresh, see if there’s development on one component in
multiple sandboxes, and more!

Introducing Salesforce Evergreen
• Functions-as-a-Service,
Microservices , Managed data stores
• Example: When housekeeping marks a
room as ready using the employee app,
a platform event triggers a Node.js
function that uses guest-context to send
a tailored real-time notification letting the
guest know that the room is ready for
early check-in. At the end of the stay, the
Salesforce Flow powering the guest
checkout can call out to a different
function with invoicing details. The
Node.js function can use the invoice
details and an npm PDF module to
quickly generate a bill.

There are now more than 700K daily active users on the Salesforce mobile app.
  • #11 Correct Answer: D. Report Builder
  • #12 Talk Track: Salesforce would not be what it is today without the passion and dedication of Salesforce Admins. Admins are the heart of Salesforce - every day they are driving innovation at their companies and creating that all important 360 degree view of both their business and their customers. Admins are using Salesforce to do incredible things: creating customized solutions to solve business challenges, and delivering real business value to help their colleagues and fellow Awesome Admins succeed. Admins are also paving the path for others and helping them grow in the Salesforce economy.
  • #13 Talk Track: Part of being an #AwesomeAdmin is learning about what your organization needs, and how Salesforce can be used to help support organizational goals, For example: Learning about the company mission, values, and competition Leadership goals and measures How customers engage How users get productive
  • #14 Talk Track: There are also some core Admin responsibilities that all Salesforce Admins should work to master, including: User Management Data Management Security Actionable Reporting
  • #15 Correct Answer: A. Lookup Field
  • #17 Talk Track: - Now we are going to give you a very quick overview of 9 of the top Breakout sessions for Admins at Dreamforce ‘19.
  • #18 Talk Track: Aaron Crear gave a presentation on Advanced Reporting Tips & Tricks for New Admins, here are a few key takeaways from his session: 1. Make Your Job Easier with Powerful Features: Cross Filters - Quickly identify records with or without related records Power of One - Allow objects to count themselves, use in other ways Custom Report Types - Used for more complex reports on related objects 2. Make Visualizing the Data Simpler - Buckets - Categorize a group of values - Custom Summary Formulas - Summarize numeric values - Joined Reports - Show blocks of different data points & objects in one screen
  • #19 Talk Track: 3. Learn About New Report Features: - Field-to-Field Filters - Filter reports based on comparisons to other fields - Eg. Show Campaigns with actual cost > budgeted cost - Unique Values - Quickly see how many unique objects are in your report - Eg. How many Accounts are in an Opportunity Pipeline - Row-Level Formulas - Reduces the need for formulas fields on objects - Eg. Days to Close = Closed Date – DATEVALUE(Created Date) Resources Talk Track: Here are a bunch of resources Aaron suggests to learn more about sharing records and Lightning Flow, please check them out.
  • #20 Talk Track: Katharine Anderson gave a presentation on how to use Lightning Flow to Share Records, with a step by step guide on how to set it up in your org. 1. What is Sharing via Lightning Flow - Lightning Flow gives you the ability to share a record with a user automatically. This sharing option allows greater flexibility and is more targeted than other options that control record access (such as Sharing Rules and Account/Opportunity Teams). Plus, it’s faster than manual sharing. 2. Is Lightning Flow right for your use case? - However, Lightning Flow isn’t the right solution for every use case. This is most useful when you need to give record access to a user based on their role on that specific record. Work with your stakeholders to determine what level of access that record role needs.
  • #21 Talk Track: 3. Setup Lightning Flow - Katharine then demonstrated how to set up a lightning flow to automatically share a contract with the contract’s router. Once you’ve set up the Lightning Flow, make sure to activate both the flow and the process, and then test thoroughly. Then you can deploy to production! Resources Talk Track: Here are a bunch of resources Katharine suggests to learn more about sharing records and Lightning Flow, please check them out:
  • #22 Talk Track: Nana Gregg gave a presentation managing and optimizing a small Salesforce Admin Team: 1. Use Salesforce – the Tool You Love Since you spend all day in Salesforce and you are an Awesome Admin, use Salesforce to make your life easier and simplify administration. Create dashboards for yourself and your users to help them track data quality issues. Another option is to create subscribed reports that are emailed when certain data conditions exist. Proactively monitor data quality and emphasize the importance of data quality with your user community. Automate routine tasks to save yourself time. For example, when you add a new currency you need to add all of your products in the new currency. That can be done with a flow in less than a second. Similarly, when you add a new product, it has to be added in all currencies. Using a Flow Screen you can enter the product once and let the flow add the product to the appropriate Price Books in all of your active currencies. (It is also a great way to practice and learn tools like Flow!) Take advantage of cases to manage your own Salesforce Help Desk. You can also use Record Types to track Projects and Tasks, all within the Case Management process. Email to case can help your users easily submit requests for assistance. 2. Track and Document Your Efforts To help manage your work and analyze your performance, find ways to track what you do. If you use Flow and Process Builder, you can create a very simple subflow that populates a custom object every time the flow or process is executed. Get metrics on who is using automation and when, and even estimate the time saved by each automation. Track everything in Salesforce – anything that you need to track or manage can be managed in Salesforce, then you can report on it and easily get to key information. We wanted to track all of our training interactions so we created two simple objects, Training Classes and Trainees, and we can see who we trained, when, for how long, ensuring we are delivering the right training to our users. If you implement cases you can track very valuable metrics on case volumes, source/cause of cases, which groups/users submit the most cases, etc. This can help you target training or system improvements to improve the user experience.
  • #23 Talk Track: 3. Celebrate Your Accomplishments and Promote Your Value Now that you are using Salesforce to manage and track your admin work, leverage the data in Salesforce to celebrate your successes. When it’s time for your annual review, show your manager a dashboard of everything you’ve done – time saved via automation, cases closed, training delivered, system changes completed, reports and dashboards created, users onboarded, etc. Always think of how you can track and promote all of your hard work. This data can also be critical when requesting additional staff. If you can demonstrate a growth in the number of cases, or headcount growth, etc., you can more easily make the argument for additional headcount. Run your Salesforce Admin team like your company runs the business – focus on measurable outcomes to make decisions. Resources Talk Track: Trailhead is an awesome resource for learning the topics included in this presentation. We’ve included three good places to start learning Case Management, Process Builder, and Lightning Flow. The Trailblazer Community is always a good place to ask for assistance or brainstorm ideas.
  • #24 Correct Answer: D Flow Builder
  • #25 Talk Tack: Greg Poirier gave a presentation about the value of having a dedicated Integration User: 1. Organizations can expand the value they get out of Salesforce via integrations. However, there are security and data integrity considerations: - Integration users are an Admins best friend. Marketing Automation, Customer Support, CTI, Enrichment tools - all examples of where you want to use an Integration User. 2. What does full admin access mean? Should a 3rd party application be able to: Create or deactivate your users Delete records Reset user’s passwords Be able to login as any user Create new permission sets and assign them It isn’t a question of trust. It is all about decreasing risk.
  • #26 Talk Tack: 3. How do you create an Integration User? It is a three step process Create a Profile User creation Testing and safe migration Resources Talk Track: Here are a bunch of resources Greg suggests to learn more.
  • #27 Talk Track: Phil Weinmeister gave a presentation about Community Builder: 1. Community Builder Takes Your Building Capabilities to a New Level (and it’s fun) If you like Lightning App Builder, awesome! But are you aware of the ultra-robust tool, Community Builder? It basically does it all. First of all, it has tons to get you started quickly…specifically, you can choose from numerous components, themes, templates, and bolts when building a community. It goes well beyond a page-level editor, allowing control and configuration of analytics, security, language, navigation control, devices, and global settings 2. Mastering Community Builder Opens Up A Whole New Salesforce Career Path Many of you may never have touched communities on the Salesforce platform. There really hasn’t been a better time to start exploring that area. Communities are the center of the “Digital Experience Platform” and will serve as the layer of interaction for many solutions going forward.

  • #31 Talk Track: David Palmquist gave a presentation about how to Automate Repetitive Tasks with Salesforce Macros: 1. Why Use Macros? Macros are good for manual tasks that can be completed via a process builder or a work flow. Macros are an Ad Hoc process and require an initial human decision to run. 2. How to Create Macros Macros easy to create and modify. You can modify any field that has a dashed border on is blue when you mouse over it
  • #32 Talk Track: 3. Add Logic to Macros A macro is basically a formula that if it evaluates to true then the instructions will run. If there is no logic then the instruction will run. Resources Talk Track: Here are a bunch of resources David suggests to learn more.

  • #37 Talk Track: Carissa Smith gave a presentation the steps to build a Development tracking tool that truly rocks! 1. Step 1: Track your User Requests: Step 1 is something most admins probably do already (and it’s widely talked about in salesforce circles. Tracking requests from users on Cases (a separate Record Type from the ones your users use) or some other custom object is a great way to organize your work. Grouping Cases into releases helps when you plan to release multiple pieces of work at once. 2. Step 2: Track your Development as You Go: - This is the true “meat and potatoes” of the solution, and I highly encourage anyone who is interested to view the full Dreamforce session and PowerPoint because it walks through this in much more detail. Essentially you create a rolodex of Components in the org (anything you would add to a change set when deploying a release) and then link those to your User Requests with Component Changes. This creates a library that shows you everything that exists in your org and when/how/why it was changed over time.
  • #38 Talk Track: 3. Step 3: Release Your Changes with Peace of Mind: When you get ready to build change sets for a release, you have all the information at your fingertips to make it go smoothly. A report of all the changes you’ve made shows you what Components need to be added to your change set. Group it by Type (the items in the picklist when adding to change set – Action, Custom field, Report, etc.), and creating your change set will be a breeze! Amazing Benefits of this Approach: There are other benefits of tracking your development this way, and these are just a couple teasers. Resources Talk Track: Here are a bunch of resources Carissa suggests to learn more. The tools here are mostly free productivity tools that really help make the entire deployment and tracking experience much smoother. I recommend googling each (they are easily searchable) and checking out their features!

  • #41 Talking points: Customer expectations are rising. Apps are everywhere and becoming ambient. They are getting smarter and more integrated. Today you can talk to your smart television and thermostat. Using your phone, you can send directions to your car, and then use your car’s Autopilot app to drive you there. This is happening! Users expect these smart, connected, and integrated experiences everywhere, in their personal lives and in their professional lives.
  • #42 Talking points: But these experiences are hard to build We need to bring together the latest innovations like AI, Voice, Vision and Blockchain into a cohesive experience These experiences need to be trusted and guarantee data privacy We need ALM workflows to deliver that innovation continuously That’s hard. That’s a lot of infrastructure to implement and to wire together And while we’re doing that, we’re not delivering innovation to our businesses To solve these problems, and make it easy to create trusted, smart and flexible experiences...
  • #43 Talking points: ... Salesforce provides the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform The Salesforce Customer 360 Platform brings together all the pieces we need to build modern apps in one integrated platform It’s the same platform we use to build the Customer 360 apps, like Sales, Service, Marketing, and Commerce. And we can use that platform to build our own apps! [Transition] Let’s look at what Salesforce is doing to help us Build, Connect, and Manage our apps to deliver continuous innovation
  • #44 Talking points: First, let’s go over some amazing new features that will allow us to build innovative apps faster than ever.
  • #45 Talking points: … to help us build engaging and smart mobile experiences. Salesforce announced the general availability of the new Salesforce mobile app. The Salesforce Mobile app has a brand new experience. It has an app launcher that allows us to load and use the same apps we use on the desktop It’s smart: We can use Einstein Voice Assistant (which is in Pilot) and Einstein Analytics And it’s customizable with clicks and code: we can now have Lightning Web Components everywhere, including on the record home page [Transition] Let’s talk about Lightning Web Components...
  • #46 Talking points: Lightning Web Components allows us to build engaging experiences with modern Web Standards. That’s great for our apps, and it’s also great for us developers, because we get to work with the latest and greatest technologies Salesforce launched Lightning Web Components earlier this year, and at TDX they open sourced the LWC framework And as part of their continuous support for open source, they announced that they are open sourcing the Base Lightning Components, which is the component library built on top of Lightning Web Components. This means that we can jump start our existing UI development with UI building blocks; and they launched with over 50 Base Lightning Components We can extend existing components and contribute our code And we can learn or develop best practices by exploring the source code [Transition] To build engaging experiences it’s helpful to have a common framework like LWC. It is also helpful to have a common platform to build these experiences on...

  • #48 Talking points: … Which is why Salesforce is introducing Salesforce Evergreen Evergreen will bring together the best of the Lightning and Heroku platforms With Evergreen we can build contextual experiences with Salesforce Data at scale We can build these experiences using microservices or functions using familiar languages like Node.js, Java and Apex And we can build these experiences with code or clicks. For example, we could invoke an Evergreen function written in Node.js from a Flow, from a process, and the ability to innovate with even more open source libraries. --A new Heroku Runtime that is tightly integrated into Salesforce Core The unique combination of serverless, elastic container technology and seamless access to customer data and low-code business logic makes Salesforce the obvious place to build and run the differentiated digital experiences that impress your customers, partners and employees
  • #49 Talking points: Next, we’re to explore how we can leverage the platform to create connected experiences with applications that connect everything. As developers we need to make all these connections come to life in the apps we build. But how do we create apps that connect everything? [Transition] Of course, we use APIs!
  • #50 Talking points: Now Salesforce has a lot of APIs So many, that it’s sometimes difficult to keep track To help us with that, they’re introducing to the Salesforce API Portal It allows us to discover all the Salesforce APIs in one place To learn about all these APIs with interactive documentation We can try mock and production endpoints in-place, from within the portal And we can engage with the ecosystem through forums Stay tuned for more information in 2020 regarding when the Salesforce API Portal will be available [Transition] When we create connected experiences, we want them to be smart…
  • #51 Talking points: And to help us create smart connected experiences, Salesforce has added new Einstein UI and APIs There’s the Einstein Vision and Language app available now on AppExchange which we can use to build and integrate models with clicks Einstein Multi-Language is now Pilot and allows you to analyze text in six languages (intent and sentiment) Einstein OCR allows you to identify text in images Einstein Voice allows you to create your own skills that you can deploy to any device [Transition] But there’s even more new technology out there to help us build connections
  • #52 Talking points: You can also connect partners in a new way: Using Blockchain! Blockchain allows you to create networks of partners who can use a distributed data model to record digital transactions in a trusted, immutable way Blockchain is a great technology but it can be hard to implement That’s why we introduced Salesforce Blockchain at TrailheaDX and it’s now Developer Preview! Salesforce Blockchain makes it easy to build networks with clicks. That means you can focus on building your blockchain app, not on implementing blockchain infrastructure Because blockchain objects are exposed as regular Salesforce objects, you can leverage the Salesforce platform: you can build blockchain apps with LWC, Flow, Einstein, Bots, and more. And because the Salesforce Blockchain can be accessed from Salesforce or any other platform through APIs, it is easy to engage partners and connect applications whether they are on platform or not
  • #53 Talking points: Building innovation is great. But delivering it to our users is better. Let’s talk about how Salesforce is making it easier for us to manage our application lifecycle and deliver innovation continuously As we all know, an application is never really “done” We need great tools to deliver innovation continuously [Transition] Development starts with us, the developers, behind our laptops writing code.
  • #54 Talking points: … and to help us build, run, and test our Lightning Web Components locally, Salesforce recently introduced the Local Development Server. With the Local Development Server, we can iterate quickly when developing Lightning Web Components No need to deploy our changes to an org. We can run them locally on the local server running on localhost It’s super exciting and I can’t wait to show it to you in the demo [Transition] of course, when you are done with local changes, you probably want to test them in a sandbox with all your data...
  • #55 Talking points: … and to create these flexible test environments, Salesforce announced a new type of Sandbox: the Lightning Full Sandbox. Lightning Full Sandboxes can be created in minutes with a full copy of your data And they will feature refresh on demand, as often as you want… and it only takes minutes It’s a great step forward towards more flexible development environments [Transition] Testing your app with all data in a sandbox is great, but there is data you may not want to expose to everybody testing your application in the sandbox... 29 days refresh interval, Automatic anonymization of data using Salesforce Data Mask
  • #56 Talking points: … That’s why, they introduced Salesforce Data Mask, a new feature that allows us to anonymize sensitive data. With Data Mask, we can build, test, customize our apps with all data and without exposing sensitive data This helps us to meet compliance requirements and it helps us increase productivity by removing what is usually a tedious process: with Data Mask, you can anonymize data automatically on Sandbox Creation and Refresh, or manually in an existing sandbox [Transition] Protecting data in your sandbox is great...
  • #57 Talking points: … but we need a way to prevent unexpected activities in production, like let’s say exporting contacts or opportunities. Salesforce announced new Real-Time Event Monitoring features, so we can create targeted transaction security policies to avoid data loss We can configure these policies declaratively (using Condition Builder), or programmatically using Apex And we can define actions that we want to take place when these conditions happen. For example, you can block the user, notify admins, or even require two factor authentication. [Transition] That sums up the announcements, let's cut to a couple of demos. One on LWC Local Development, and another that will make your Apex more secure.
  • #58 The first demo shows how to get up and running and use LWC local development. The second demo shows a new feature not discussed in the slides to make your Apex code more secure when invoked from a JavaScript client such as LWC. There are two demos that last 20 minutes in total. Please set aside at least 30 minutes to set up these demos. Be sure to practice your demo ahead of time.
