 I'm interested in learning how organizations adapt Salesforce to match their unique business processes. What customization tools and features are commonly used, and how these customizations improve efficiency or business outcomes?

    You can build any enterprise application (including portals for the external users - your clients and partners) using the Salesforce platform and a wide range of customization tools, such as LWC and Apex. Also, there are many applications on the AppExchange extending standard Salesforce functionality if you don't want to build it from scratch.

    One thing to consider is how partial payments will be handled. In many implementations, loyalty points are converted into a monetary value and applied as a discount or credit against the invoice amount. If the points don't cover the full invoice, the remaining balance can be paid using the customer's regular payment method.

    It may also be helpful to define redemption limits, minimum point thresholds, and whether points can be combined with other promotions. These business rules often have a big impact on the overall customer experience.

Hello trailblazers, 

 

I will be working on a PoC where the use case is as follows: 

1. The client delivers a couple products to their customers (private and public) 

2. There are several suppliers who provide these products. 

3. The suppliers should have access to some sort  platform where they will report their CO2 emissions per product, their energy use for transport, audit material etc. 

4. AI structures the data and we get Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across suppliers. 

 

I have previously worked on NZC implementation project. However it was a couple of years ago and no AI or supplier platform involved. 

 

 Any recommendations on what should I look into? 

Thanks in advance.

Any ideas on how to disable the "+new account" option on lookup fields on the Opportunity and Quote objects? Our users are bypassing required fields by using this shortcut instead of the New button on the Account object. We do have the new button on the account object set to override (at least we think we do), but this doesn't seem to actually be overriding anything. It still allows them to create the new account in the pop up alert and bypassing our requirements. So, in most cases the new account is created without an address and country. 

 

Just looking for any solutions to ensure users follow the correct account creation process. Thank you!

 

Is it possible to remove or disable creation of new record from search window?

I have added a related list - single for the 'files' to replace the notes and attachment one. 

However, this Files related list does not appear for some users, but I can't seem to find out why. 

The user has access to the record, and is able to view the attachments in the Notes & Attachments related list AND when opening the Files Tab (record is owned by this user).

 

I feel I am missing a permission set, but still haven't figured out which one.. 

 

Anybody ever faced the same issue ? 

Thanks!

    @Ricardo Santos - 2+ years late or otherwise, your response was really helpful to me in trying to sort a similar issue today, so I'm very grateful!

 Hi, I’ve been trying to use the ConversationEntry object in a Flow (Get Records). I couldn’t get it to work as expected.    

To investigate, I used Salesforce Inspector Reloaded to query the ConversationEntry object. I noticed that the CreatedDate of the most recent record is October 22, 2025, which seems unusual.   

It looks like ConversationEntry records stopped being created after that date. Everything was working fine up until then, and I haven’t made any changes to channels or configurations (at least none that I’m aware of). 

Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue?

    The specific date (October 22, 2025) strongly suggests that this issue might be related to a Salesforce Release (like Winter '26) or a platform-wide update that rolled out around that time. 

     

    Here are a few things to consider and investigate: 

     

    1.Data Retention Policy / Messaging Data Archiving: Salesforce has strict data retention limits for messaging objects. It's possible that older ⁠ConversationEntry⁠ records are being archived or that new conversations are now being routed differently. 

     

    2.API Versioning in Flow: Check the API version of the Flow you are using. If the flow is running on a newer API version, ensure that ⁠ConversationEntry⁠ hasn't been restricted from direct "Get Records" queries without specific filter contexts (like ⁠ConversationId⁠). 

     

    3.Release Notes Check: Search the Salesforce Release Notes around October 2025 for any changes related to "Messaging for In-App and Web" or ⁠ConversationEntry⁠ behavior. Salesforce occasionally changes how system entries or transcript fragments are stored to optimize performance. 

     

    If your production channel is actively running but no new rows are appearing in Inspector, opening a Salesforce Support case to check if there is a backend synchronization issue for this specific object might be the quickest way.

Hi all, looking for some advice on setting up some nuanced permissions in my org. My goal is to allow a single user to only view and edit records they own without limiting the record-level visibility and permissions my existing users already have. I want this user to see Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Leads they own but none of these object records that they do not own and no other objects. I want them to be able to add Products to their Opportunities and edit those opportunities as well.

 

Some context on my org’s current setup:

 

  • OWDs on Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, and Product are either set to  Public/Read/Write or inherited as Public/Read/Write
  • I have several Custom Profiles which layer administrative allowances on top of allowing users to View and Edit key objects
    • For this user's Profile they have Read on Account, Contact, Opportunity, Lead, and Product plus “Create” and “Edit” on Opportunities
  • I have an intact Role Hierarchy.
    • I plan to place this user at the bottom of a branch

 

The issue with this setup is that, without narrowing the OWDs on the objects I want this user to engage with, they are able to see all records in our instance regardless. This makes sense given how their Profile would interact with the OWDs. I tried narrowing the OWDs for Account, Lead, Contact, and Opportunity to Private and this caused my remaining users to have visibility issues as well.

 

Is it possible to achieve the nuanced visibility I’m looking for using Sales Cloud?

    This is definitely a tricky CRM permissions setup because your org already uses Public Read/Write OWDs, which means record visibility is broadly open by default. In situations like this, one possible approach is using a combination of a highly restricted Profile, Permission Sets, and potentially Apex managed sharing or restriction rules if your CRM supports them. Since the user should only access records they own while existing users keep their broader access, restriction rules may be the cleanest solution without impacting the current sharing model. You would also need to ensure Product access remains available so they can still associate Products with their Opportunities correctly.

    Honestly, permission structures like this remind me a lot of solving Letter Boxed NYT answers today. One small permission overlap can completely change the final outcome, just like one misplaced word connection can break the whole Letter Boxed puzzle. Both require careful planning, understanding dependencies, and finding the most efficient configuration without disrupting the rest of the system.

In Salesforce, When I opened tasks tab, records are showing in split view. I can see table view after changing a display type button from Split view to table view until my system cache/browsing history deletes.   It will come back again to split view after deleted cache/browsing history.     Is there any setting/configuration that can make by default to table view?

    Hi @Tulasi Rajesh Kumar Reddy MV,  

     

    Salesforce doesn’t currently allow you to set Table View as a permanent default for Task   list views. The system stores your view preference in browser cache storage, so when cache or browsing history is cleared, it resets back to the default Split View.

    There’s no org-level or user setting to change this permanently. The only workaround is to manually switch to Table View again or use a bookmarked URL after selecting Table View.

When I create custom fields, they are successfully created, and I can see them under "Fields & Relationships". However, on the UI side, when I click the "New"

 button to create a record, those fields do not appear. 

 

I already cross-checked the following: Page Layout, Field-Level Security / Field Access 

 

I have attached screenshots for reference. How can this be resolved? 

 

I also tested this in two or three different orgs, including a Trailhead Playground. I even tried logging out and logging back in, but it still does not work. 

 

Anyone facing this issue while creating custom fields in a Salesforce org?

    The fields are likely not appearing because Lightning uses the New Action Layout/Dynamic Forms, not just the Page Layout. 

    Check: 

    Object Manager → [Object] → Buttons, Links & Actions → New → Edit Layout 

    Add the fields there and refresh.

We currently run both a classic lightning and an (I am guessing) content builder (but not the newest one). I am relatively new to my position, so I do have not sorted all of the nuances. I have two questions; 

 

1. Is there a report that shows the data on how many email were opened/delivered in plain text? 

 

2. We use the classic to create email that look plain text because we would like the email to look as if it is sent from a person to a single person. When we build in the newer sku it has a grey background and centers the content, making it look like it is a mass email. My question is, is there a way to make the email look like it is being sent from Outlook (for example) without using the classic lightning builder?

    Hi @Deepika Khanna

     

    I was able to make the background white, and I think the rest of my question was poorly worded. I am wondering if it is possible to have the entire body of the email align to the left. 

     

    Here is an image of what I get. It is white (thanks to you), but it is always centered. Is there a way around that?
