Using the Email to Salesforce function. I've had a request to automate a follow up task when an email is sent. When the email is sent, a task is created in salesforce and it has the appropriate contact associated with it. The follow up task that the flow created does not have the contact populated in the Name field even though I have set the Name ID of the to be created task to have the Name ID of the Triggering task. I also tried to use a Get Record step to get the Name ID in the triggering task and use that variable in creating the new task. However, this still failed.  

 

Further Details: 

This is a record triggered flow that starts when a task is created with the subject starting with "email". 

I have a create record step that assigns the Due Date and Subject to variables I create and the Name ID to the Name ID of the triggering Task. 

After sending an email through Outlook with the Email to Salesforce email in the bcc line, a Task is created and associated with the Contact associated with the email address.  

The flow creates the follow up task with the appropriate Due Date and Subject but the Name field is not populated. 

What am I missing?

Hi all 

 

I have a text field with data in this format Friday, 24 November 2023. My expectation from the below format is dd/mm/yyyy i.e. 24/11/2023 

 

I am getting a NULL value with the below formula, what am I missing? 

 

DATE( VALUE(RIGHT({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, 4)), IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "January"), 1,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "February"), 2,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "March"), 3,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "April"), 4,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "May"), 5,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "June"), 6,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "July"), 7,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "August"), 8,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "September"), 9,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "October"), 10,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "November"), 11,

IF(CONTAINS({!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, "December"), 12,

)))))))))))),

VALUE(

MID(

{!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c},

FIND(",", {!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}) + 2,

FIND(" ", {!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}, FIND(",", {!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}) + 2)

- FIND(",", {!$Record.OEM_Order_Acceptance_Date__c}) - 2

)

)

 

Hope you can help

I have Developer Edition org with data cloud. I can create and manually deploy Data Kits without issues, but I need to do it via the API. Specifically, I need to use the `ssot/data-kits/{dataKitDevName}` endpoint (as described here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-dev/guide/dc-deploy-data-kits-using-connect-api.html

). However, I receive a 404 status code whenever I try to access this endpoint. No endpoints with the `ssot` prefix are accessible to me. They all return a 404 status code. I attempted to connect via an external app with enable client credentials flow, and the request is executed by a user with the "Data Architect" permission. Package ssot there is in installed package tab. Why might this endpoint be missing?

I am in the following module: Learn How Data 360 Works ==> Explore Data 360 Core Functionality  ==> Create Fields and Map Your Data

 

 

I created all the mappings correctly including the "Is US Based" but get the following error: 

 

Step not yet complete in Data Cloud

In the Data Lake Object ‘Lead’, we can't find the text field mapping for ‘Is US Based’.

 

I have tried all the workarounds like attempting to delete the "Lead_Home" mappings as well as the entire "Lead_Home" Data stream but I get errors in both instances saying fields are used elsewhere, etc. 

 

Thoughts?

I am looking for a solution to backup journeys, automations, etc. I know there are apps for that (e.g. stashr.io, Gearset), but Salesforce says that most companies DIY with OOTB features like the API and Automation Studio. Is that a one and done configuration or would you need to make changes every time a new journey or automation is created? I know the apps are expensive, so I'd like to DIY, but not sure how complicated that is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

We're trying to update an organization's legal name with Salesforce. 

  • I started by submitting a case on 6/23 (Case #63735478-SF)
  • Added a comment on 6/30 and made the case more urgent - still no response at all
  • Their AE is the powerofusdesk email - I sent an email 7/9 to that (and @Omar AlMoualem because he's helped escalate similar issues in the past)

I still haven't received any response from anyone (with the exception of the automated email after creating the case). I come here in hopes someone can help get this onto someone's radar and moving forward.

I am in a new role and using Data Cloud for the first time. We don't have a backup solution for anything (i.e. identity resolution rules, calculated insights, etc.). There are products out there that can do it, but they are expensive. I know I could setup Data kits and the Metadata API, but how difficult is that and would they need to be updated every time we added new rules, etc.? Trying to solve for accidental deletions or overwriting. Thanks in advance for the help!
