- 4. Triggers, Workflow, Validation What’s the difference?
- 5. A piece of code that is executes before and after a record is Inserted/Updated/Deleted from the force.com database. Syntax: Trigger <trigger name> on <Object name> (trigger Events) { // Implement the Logic here } Workflows are used to do actions like creating task, sending outbound messages, send emails and field update. In workflows, we cannot update field in another related object Validation rule can be used if you want to validate the field values in a particular record which you are creating/updating. It will not work in delete operations. TRIGGER WORKFLOW VALIDATION Governs your data-entryCreates an automated action Trigger, Workflow, Validation What’s the difference? Like Workflows without limitations
- 6. What to Know About Workflows Well…they’re awesome
- 7. Lightning Process Builder “A Workflow tool that helps you easily automate your business processes by providing a powerful and user friendly graphical representation of your process as you build.” Oh my, what’s that?
- 8. Lightning Process Builder This thing is NIIICE! Submit for Approval Updated fields on any related record Call Apex code Post to Chatter Launch a Flow Multiple if/them statements Create a record
- 9. Flow (Visual Flow) “Let’s you build applications, called flows, to help users within your organizations perform tasks easily and efficiently” Oh I know that one.
- 10. If You Build Everything… • Find the common ground to each need • Limit the redundancy • Be the voice of reason
- 11. Use the Need to Identify the Solution Base your flow off what’s being asked of you.
- 12. You’re The Solution Provider These are your weapons of mass awesomeness
- 13. Workflow FYI 1. Fully understand and identify the need From beginning to end 2. Write out the steps Paper is your friend an official memo of understanding is better 3. Map out the data flow Where is it coming from and where will it end up 4. Create the process in sandbox Make sure your flow looks good from all angles 5. Measure and refine Verify, verify, verify

- #58: Talk Track Behind each and every interaction, device, and product is a customer. We’re truly living in the Age of the Customer where each and every touchpoint is connected and intelligent. To be closely connected with that customer, businesses first need to put the customer at the center of everything they do. And second, businesses need to have a single view of that customer across all touchpoints. With Salesforce, this is an opportunity to connect with your customers like never before. It's our vision to help guide sales, advise marketers, assist service agents, and direct IT leaders. We're focused on making communities, commerce, analytics and apps more intelligent.

As you can imaging, that's a pretty complex selling and service model with lots of partners and lots of employees engaged around a customer. A few years ago, Schneider Electric had a problem were they didn't always have one conversation with that customer. To solve this, their Trailblazer and CEO, Jean-Pascal, wanted to create one view of the customer and one conversation with the customer, called One Schneider. Today, 43,000 users collaborate around the customer using Salesforce. They have 400,000 partners, 4,000 service agents and over 20,000 sales people managing information about customers on our platform. Salesforce has become the foundation within Schneider for customer-centric employee collaboration. Key Message Take all of the technology discussed in this presentation, and put it in the context of the customer. Schneider Electric's plant-to-plug vision isn't about improving a sales or service cycle, they're transforming an entire industry with Salesforce. We are on a path together with Schneider Electric.
