We want to import hundreds of forecasted opportunities for 2022 but cannot figure out the best way to import the data. 

 

Should we use the data loader? Any tips?   #NSPS #Best Practices #Data Management #Data Import #Opportunities

    Yes, Data Loader is perfect for importing hundreds of Opportunities. 

     Key tips:

    • Include all required fields (Opportunity Name, Close Date, Stage, Amount).
    • Map CSV columns accurately to Salesforce fields.
    • Use Upsert with an External ID to prevent duplicates.
    • Test with a small batch first to catch errors.
    • Check success and error logs after import.
    • Automate repetitive imports via command-line if needed.

     

    This ensures a smooth, accurate, and efficient import.

Hello - I enabled path settings for a custom object I created, but the chevrons are not appearing on the object. I only have one record type so I have already ruled that out as the problem. Any thoughts what it could be?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Danielle - did you add the path to your lightning page and enable that page for your org, app, and profiles you want to see that path? 

     

    You can click edit page from the setup, then on the lightning page screen, drag and drog the path component into place.  Click save and then activation - choose to either set it as the org default (everyone) or specificlaly for app(s), record type(s), and profile(s).   When you go back to your custom object, it should appear on the page.

Hi my awesome Salesforce Trailblazers!

 

I’m trying to use a Flow that triggers off an Oppty when it is set to Stage = Closed Won and then use a loop to find additional Oppty Records that have the same Property, Account, and Close Date listed, then from there, I want the flow to uncheck a Checkbox Field called Send Welcome Email on any additional Records that match the triggering Record’s Fields (listed out above), so that an Email Alert only gets triggered to send once vs. multiple times to the same Account.  Please help!  I’m at my wits end!  

 

Example: An Email went out and it sent 5x because there’s 5 different Opptys (bc it’s 5 separate Rooms), but it’s all for the same Account…  so it’s 1 trip for 1 person, but they booked multiple Rooms, so there’s multiple Opptys and I’m trying to solve for this with a Flow.

 

Thank you for your help in advance!

    Is your question about how to exclude the triggering record from the collection? If so, you can simply add another condition: id != $Record.id. Is your question about how to exclude the triggering record from the collection? If so, you can simply add another condition: id != $.

    This will ensure that the Opportunity which triggered the flow is excluded.

Hello, 

 

I have a problem displaying an action on the opportunities layout. I created a "New project Hourly Rates" action which I assigned to the Opportunities page presentation. I paid attention to ensure that the assignments of pages to profiles were correct but the action is not visible even though I added it to the "Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions" section of the layout opportunity yet I don't see the action. If the information can be useful: even when we modify the arrangement of actions it is not seen

 

Best Regards,

 

El Moumni Rayane

    Hi Rayane, I would check if you have Dynamic Actions enabled on the Lightning Page. If so, actions are inherited from the Lightning Page rather than the page layout, so you would need to add it there.

Has anyone encountered the requirement to change the label of opportunity stage names picklist values?

For instance, changing 'Qualification' stagename to 'Discovery'?

 

I'm considering two approaches:

 

1) Creating a new stage called 'Discovery' and using the 'Replace' function to switch existing 'Qualification' records. However, I'm concerned about the impact on reports, especially those tracking stage duration, and the effort of updating metadata across the org.

3) In ideaexchange article somone have suggested to use  Translation Workbench, but I'm unsure about the implications. The positive is that it doesn't require changing the API name, thus avoiding metadata changes and report issues. What potential negatives could this hold?

 

Any leads are appreciated!!

 

Thank you

Working on a Demo org focused on ticket sales for live events. within the org I would have multiple events. with each events having multiple tickets to be sold.

 

I want to set up a parent opportunity to represent the event which looks at the whole of the event. I then want to set up a child opportunities that represent the various transactions in the sales of those tickets.

 

my question is how do I do that? everything I have found in regard to this involves partner opportunities. I'm not sure if that's exactly what I am trying to do. really don't want to go to far down this road to find out what I am trying to do is somewhere else.

    @Ryan Breyer no, in standard you can only roll up only on master details relationships.

    However you can leverage DLRS application to be able to configure roll up on lookup relationships :

    A practice question, indeed, to practice.

    Imo, that would have been more profitable if you came up with a draft, to iterate on. Next time, please propose something as a discussion starter ; moreover that would help you get more feedbacks / propositions. Just my opinion. Éric

So you know how the Last Modified Date field on the Opportunity record indicates the last modification made to either the Opportunity record itself or any related records. How do I get a field that indicates the last modification made to just the Opportunity record itself and ignoring any modifications made to the related records. Is there already a field like that? Or do I need to create a new field and create a flow that's triggered by an update to Opportunity and update that field there?

    Do you have DLRS in your org or some other record triggered flow causing it?

Hi!

We have a custom object, Forecasting, created from the Opportunity object. 

There are 4 fields from the Opportunity that are also on the Forecasting we need to copy over.

I've mapped those to copy over via Flows, but when we create a Forecast from an Opportunity, the fields don't populate. They only populate if we then go back to the Opportunity and Edit/Save. 

 

The flow runs from Opp to Forecast because we need the Opp fields to carry to Forecast, but I can't figure out how to have the fields populate from Forecast creation. Any thoughts?

    Hello @Samantha Miller, record triggered flows are launched on record creation/update 

    If you want the forecast fields to be filled in after forecast creation, based on linked opportunity, your flow will need to be based on forecast object creation/update, getting data from linked opportunity, and update the forecast in fast update mode.

    Based on the 1st part of your post, I assume your flow is triggered on opportunity creation/update, and not on forecast creation/update.
