- 6. Spring ‘17 Web-to-Lead Enhancements – TRUE Spam Prevention • Add field validation (helps) • Process leads server-side
- 7. Spring ‘17 REST API – Composite Resources • What is a REST API? A REST API defines a set of functions which developers can perform requests and receive responses via standard HTTP protocols. Simply put, it allows you to access a URL address to “C”reate, “R”ead, “U”pdate, and “D”elete data (“CRUD”)
- 8. Spring ‘17 REST API – Composite Resources • Traditionally, Salesforce has provided developers with “out of the box” REST APIs to perform CRUD operations on all standard and custom objects. For example you could add an Account record by calling: https://na??.salesforce.com/services/data/v38.0/sobjects/Account/
- 9. Spring ‘17 REST API – Composite Resources • If you wanted to then add an Contact record under that Account you would need to confirm the Account was added properly, use its Salesforce ID as the AccountID of the Contact and subsequently call the Contact REST API. https://na??.salesforce.com/services/data/v38.0/sobjects/Contact/
- 10. Spring ‘17 REST API – Composite Resources • Composite Resource Allows you to consolidate CRUD options across multiple objects including creating dependencies between those objects https://na??.salesforce.com/services/data/v38.0/composite (demo)
- 11. Spring ‘17 TLS 1.0 Disabling – REMINDER https://tls1test.salesforce.com/s/ Test your browsers at:

- 13. Utility Bar • GA in Spring 17 • Add utility bar in Lightning App • Footer would be available across app just like Console • It can have standard and custom Lightning Component
- 14. Shortcuts to Your Top Salesforce Pages with Favorites • Use Favorite at top bar of Salesforce lightning to bookmark favorite pages.
- 15. Limit search to specific Object • Global search can be enabled to search on specific objects only
- 16. Filter Reports via URL Parameters • Like classic report, now filter report with URL parameter • Example – • https://pre-releaseinstance-dev- ed.lightning.force.com/one/one.app#/sObject/00OB0000001rOUjMAM/view?t=1485 139902948&fv0=uni
- 17. Run Flows with a Lightning Skin • Feature is GA now • Visual flow now renders with Lightning skin
- 18. Visual flow in two column - GA • No need of JavaScript hack to show two columns in flow • Decide at flow level that if screen needs to display in two columns • Instructions 1. From Setup, go to Process Automation Settings. 2. Select Enable Lightning Runtime for Flows. • To display a flow’s screens in two columns: /flow/flowName?flowLayout=twoColumn
- 20. Omni Channel - Supervisor • Omni-Channel Supervisor Is Generally Available • Supervisors can check the health of their call center using the Agents, Queues, and Work tabs.
- 22. Omni Channel – Supervisor (cont.)
- 23. Omni Channel – Work overflow scenario • Assign Overflow Work to a User or Queue • You don’t have to miss out on work that’s created after your org reaches Omni- Channel limits. Set a user or queue to receive work until • Omni-Channel is ready to use again.
- 26. Create CSP Trusted Sites to Access Third-Party APIs • The Lightning Component framework uses Content Security Policy (CSP) to control the source of content that can be loaded on a page. • To use third-party APIs that make requests to an external (non-Salesforce) server, add the server as a CSP Trusted Site. • When you define a CSP Trusted Site, the site’s URL is added to the list of allowed sites for the following directives in the CSP header. – connect-src – frame-src – img-src – style-src – font-src – media-src
- 27. Use Unbound Expressions for One-Way Data Binding Between Components • For Lightning Components • Use the {#expression} syntax for unbound expressions • Bound expressions with {!expression} create a bidirectional data • binding that’s expensive for performance.
- 28. Speed Up Your Components by Fixing Performance Warnings • Browser console now shows performance anti pattern • It will appear only if debug mode is enabled for Lightning component
- 29. Share Lightning Apps with Non-Authenticated Users • Add the ltng:allowGuestAccess interface to your Lightning Out dependency app to make it available to users without requiring them to authenticate with Salesforce. This interface lets you build your app with Lightning components, and deploy it anywhere and to anyone. • A Lightning Out dependency app with the ltng:allowGuestAccess interface can be used with Lightning Components for Visualforce and with Lightning Out.
- 30. User friendly error messages
- 31. Apex
- 32. Monitor the Status of Apex Batch Jobs • Get more information about the status of Apex batch jobs. For a particular batch class, you can get information about parent jobs, such as submitted and completion dates and the number of batches processed or failed. This change applies to both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.
- 33. Some other Apex Changes • Only One Test Setup Method per Class is Allowed • Make Web Service Callouts from Chained Queueable Jobs
