Hi there,

I'm a complete newbie in the Salesforce universe, so I beg forgiveness if what I'm asking sounds dull. 

I'm currently working on a Django app that serves a mobile app (the front-end mostly) that also has a web version. Some of the functionalities icnclude a lot of typical CRM functionality: resource management, agenda, staff management, scheduling, etc. Thus, instead of going for specific Django available CRM out there, I'm considering using Salesforce CRM....if that's even possible I mean. I know some people has do something similar in the past (Hotel Ninjas), although I couldn't find any info on that topic

That said, the Salesforce is just too big for me to grasp this....I know there is the CRM itself, but also this Salesforce Platform1....which one should I be using if I wanted to integrate some of the CRM functionalities in my Django app? 

Maybe what I'm saying makes no sense at all....please share your toughts!
Hi All, 

Maybe I am missing something but I am going around in cirlces with the Contacts without Hobbies report. I have: 

1. Created a custom report type to get Contacts without hobbies 
2. Created an Account Value bucket field
3. Create a % Open Opps Formula 
4. Added First Name, Last Name, Total Opp Value, Open Opp Value, Phone, Email, %Open Opps to the report 
5. Summarised by Account Value then Account 

And im still getting an error: 

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: The 'Contacts Without Hobbies' report is not configured correctly.

I have added screenshots of all the pieces - hoping someone else has hit this issue

I wrote a fairly simple Apex trigger in my company's sandbox that I want to roll out, but I don't understand how testing and code coverage work. Is there a way I can specifically just test my trigger and get salesforce to let me publish it?

Thanks

I would like to auto-update the Opportunity Stage based on the Activity Type of last activity. The only caveat is that the stage can not move up the funnel, only down the funnel.
Hi

I am facing two very weired issues.

1. I have created a triiger on task (before insert, before update) event.
In which I am assigning who Id to task on the basis of what Id. Code is working fine in the dev org. But the issue is when when I am doploying package in subscriber orgs, it is working in some orgs, bt not for all.
I can see Who Id value in the developer org in the (after insert, after update ) task, but In the salesforce UI who Id is not linked to the task.

2.  In case of before update of task trigger I am storing task Id's in a set .  The same issue like above I am facing here. i.e. for some orgs it is working perfectly fine while others a blank set is created in the develpoer console.

Please help.
Thanks In advance !!!
