Is anybody integrating thinkific courses with Salesforce e.g. a volunteer completes a Thinkific course and it updates Salesforce? 

 

thanks

    Integrating Thinkific courses with Salesforce is achievable, often through middleware platforms like Skyvia or custom API solutions. When a volunteer completes a Thinkific course, this setup can automatically update relevant records in Salesforce, ensuring synchronized data management.

Re-posting, originally posted as a follow up question to another post, but re-posting for more eyeballs.

 

I am working with an organization and they already use MobileCause. Recently, they migrated to NPSP and I would like to integrate MobileCause. I got in touch with MobileCause via their website's "Contact Us" type interface, and had a conversation with a salesperson. Unfortunately, I did not get the information regarding Salesforce integration that I was hoping to get.

 

MobileCause app on Appexchange is an expensive product and they do not offer free trial or test drives, therefore I am very interested in knowing how the community's experience with the MobileCause app on Salesforce appexchange is. 

 

If anyone on this forum has any pertinent information/experience, then I would like to interact. TIA.

    One of the groups I work with has MobileCause installed in both a sandbox and in production.  Apparently it used to work (probably 2022) and they seem to have been happy with it.  In this case it is not NPSP but rather WaterGrass, which for all practical purposes should function about the same as the NPSP.  So it seems promising.  But it appears not to be working fully at the moment (March of 2023).  I have little information about MobileCause but am trying to dig into it.  What I have found thus far, though, is that the app is bringing data into the database but it is in a "pending" status and that seems to mean it's not being processed into Contacts and Opportunities.  We are looking into why that is the case.  I'll try to post back if I find anything out.

Here are some things that I have found has been working in my favor...

 

  • Watching videos and going into the org at the same time
  • Old school writing notes using lots of visuals like highlighting & rewriting (agh!)
  • Watching different types of videos (David Massey, Caitlyn Nguyen, Focus on Force, etc.)
  • Pomodorro
  • Split screen
  • Study Groups

    I found that a combination of things worked really well. I went through the course I now teach (though it was a different format then), and having a guided learning experience helped keep me (mostly) on task. That said, the "not on task" was about "lateral learning." I went beyond the admin trailmix and sought out other relevant modules on similar topics. The hands on learning helped keep my attention (I'm still not a fan of Trailhead units with just a quiz). I also will tend to do modules before projects, as I can't handle "do this" without knowing WHY I'm doing that thing (a common neurodivergent issue haha). I also 100% boost taking your own notes (and even writing out something like an essay where you detail what you've learned) and study groups. Teaching the material to others is a great way to learn and I think leading a study group benefited me immensely when I was studying for my exam. The very best of luck to you @Yumi K!

I was wondering if anyone is using Communities as a board portal and if it is working well for you? Any key questions we should ask ourselves as we explore the option? Any drawbacks or challenges you have experienced? What works well?

 

OR...any other suggestions for an effective board portal?

Writing it down and paying it forward before I forget!  Download it, use it, modify it, PASS IT ON BETTER THAN WHEN YOU GOT IT.  Hook up the next brother/sister who needs a career/life change.

    This is great! As someone with ZERO technology experience other than gmail I find this stuff very overwhelming. I plan set up like an OP ORD by someone who has "been there and done that" is really beneficial. Thank you!

I'm curious as to what others do for saving references to excellent tips, etc. on the various groups. I was using bookmarks, but the list is getting too long so I can't simply hit ctrl-F and search for items. I've started taking the post URL's and saving them to folders under my browser favorites. How does everyone else manage them?
