Is there a free version to do this on the Contact object? 

 

If there's a first name/last name match via LinkedIn?

    Hello @Abby M, if you do not plan to request LinkedIn, and just navigate to it, you may create a custom field that will host the linkedin identifier of the contact, with a hyperlink formula to create the link to the linkedin page, on your contact detail page.  

    Example : https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trailblazer-community/feed/0D54S00000A9C2QSAV

Hello, I want to grant permissions for some users to be able to delete a lead from a cadence, even when some activities in that cadence have already started. How can I do that?

 It has been observed that when an Account already exists in Salesforce, and a new Web-to-Lead form is submitted with matching Account details, a new Lead record is created but is not automatically converted into an Opportunity.

Existing Account record is identified as duplicate on the lead, even though the Account Name/Zip code values are not matching.

Is this expected Salesforce behavior?

    Yes, this is expected behavior. Salesforce Web-to-Lead creates a Lead record but doesn’t automatically convert it into an Opportunity just because a matching Account exists. You’d need a separate Flow or Apex automation to handle that process. 

     

    For the matching issue, check your active duplicate and matching rules first. Use a tool or software that uses Fuzzy matching logic to help you find out duplicates and accurate lead to account matching.  

     

    Tools like LeadAngel can also help match incoming leads to existing Salesforce Accounts, even when company names have minor variations, so you can handle lead-to-account matching more accurately before deciding how to route or process the lead.

Hi All 

 

I have created a Pipeline Inspection list view. However when I am trying to search users in Owner filter,  I can see their teams name and not them individually.  For example, if I search Tony's name, I just see "Tony's team" in the filter and not Tony. When I read the help document, it says that Owner filter follows the Role hierarchy. 

I have System Admin role assigned to me and the user is below in the role hierarchy. What could be the reason? Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Renu Mudhalwadkar

    ,  

    did you ever find out the reason for the described behavior?  

    I noticed the same behavior. When we search for a user in "Owner" filter we only see "XXX 's Team" as result coming up, even though this user doesn't have a role below him/her in role hierarchy (and doesn't have a team) and I don't know why. 

    I still shows the correct data, but it is irritating for the users/managers. 

    Thanks, Sue

I am trying go through the exercise guide for Exercise 1: Work with Contracts and when trying to create a contract from the quote, as stated in the guide.

 

"Field mappings aren't available for creating or updating a contract from an object Quote. Specify valid field mappings and try again"

There was an unexpected error while verifying this challenge. Usually this is due to some pre-existing configuration or code in the challenge Org. We recommend using a new Developer Edition (DE) to check this challenge. If you're using a new DE and seeing this error, please <a href="https://trailhead.salesforce.com/help" target="_blank">contact support</a> and reference error id: FQYASDOY

    This looks like a Trailhead org issue rather than a Chatter configuration issue. 

    Try completing the challenge in a fresh Developer Edition org. 

    If the same error still appears, contact Trailhead Support with proper id.

    Kindly go to setup and then >Forecasting Source Definition and check if Opportunity.Sum_Booking__c is selected there. 

    Remove or replace the field first, then try changing the data type again. 

    If you can't find the reference, use Where is this used?  option to know actually where it is refer

I want the emails to be associated to the contacts they were sent to and/or from.

    To import all existing emails from a PST file, you can use Microsoft Outlook’s built-in Import/Export wizard. Open Outlook, go to File → Open & Export → Import/Export, select Import from another program or file, and choose Outlook Data File (.pst). Browse to your PST file, select the option to handle duplicate items, and choose the mailbox or folder where you want to import the emails. Click Finish to begin the process. 

     

    If you need to import multiple PST files or migrate emails without relying on Outlook, you can use the

    SysTools PST Converter to export PST mailbox data into supported formats for further migration. Always keep a backup of your original PST file before starting the import process to prevent accidental data loss.

    Reports and dashboard components report type is on setup objects, not standard objects, so regular users cannot access them. You need view setup permissions which you probably do not want to give to end users. I make users submit a request and give them an export of the report whenever they need to run this report to see which dashboard is using which report

Hi,

 

I have been tasked to find (or build) a solution to allow weekly backup of salesforce data, automatically, to sharepoint.  I have come across solutions for scheduled backups but not to sharepoint.  I have also found CloudHQ that has real-time backup capabailities to sharepoint but no scheduling.  For reasons still aloof to me, the company wants s storage of SF data backed up weekly to sharepoint.  Is anyone aware of a way to achieve this?

 

Thanks

    The gap you're hitting is that most tools only do Salesforce-to-Salesforce syncing, or syncing of files but not on a schedule.

    CloudHQ the backup tier (not the sync tier you found) supports scheduled backups of Salesforce records as CSV plus files to SharePoint; check their backup product specifically.

    Skyvia does Salesforce -> SharePoint Files export with scheduling, field selection, and filters.

    DIY: Salesforce Data Export Service does weekly CSV exports; script out their Data Loader CLI to push those to SharePoint.

    One caveat is that these are all exports, and not point-in-time backups; if they need to restore a deleted record back into Salesforce, check the restore path first.

    For the SharePoint side specifically, the Kernel SharePoint Backup handles backup of SharePoint sites, document libraries, lists, version history, and permissions to local or NAS storage, with delta passes to skip already-saved items. It won't pull from Salesforce, but if the end goal is a clean, restorable copy of that data sitting in SharePoint, it covers that half.
