Hi,

We have some integrations that loads data intosalesforce. These integrations some times load values into the Picklist that are not in the picklist.
HOw do you normally handle this? Is the only way to control this by creating reports and track it and correct it you self? Or can we force salesforce only to accept picklist values that are in the picklist? (I know that this would mean that we loose a lot of data)

Thank you for you help.

Best regards,
Christian

My company has an API connection to an external system which updates SFDC nightly.  How can I turn off its access to the Account object?

The external system is sending incorrect information to the Account object.  Unfortunately, the administrator on the external system has no idea how to change the settings on her side.  So, I want to just turn off the access to that.  I want to keep the other integrations to other objects, though.

I've gone through the profile, which is a custom profile specifically for API.  I changed all settings for Accounts to read-only.  I checked the sharing settings, and there's nothing shared with that profile or a group that the API user is in.  But, it's still somehow able to update Accounts.  

Hi Guys,
We are in the process of evaluating continuous integration tools like Gearset, CumulusCI, and others. I would like to hear the pros, cons of these tools, and your experiences on how these tools are unique compared to others? So please let me know?

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement Is to embed a grid of child objects on a detail page. We have to do a visual force page and embed a lightning component on it because you cannot embed lightning components on existing sections on a standard lightning page. On the grid, there is an edit option where we have to pass the record id from visual force to lightning component. Do you guys know how to do it or have done something where you have a lightning component wrapped around a visual force page?

Hi Guys,
I am in the process of creating a flow on the opportunity detail record page. This flow would be invoked on a button that would run a flow that would copy data from opportunity and insert a contract. I want to put some validation where I would like to check if the opportunity stage is say proposal, the button is clicked. I want to display a custom validation message on the screen if the user wrongly clicked it for a different stage. How do I display a custom error message from flow to a field on a lightning record page?

Hi Guys,
I started my career from Java development background and moved to Salesforce a while back. My transition to Salesforce in the world of Apex and visual force was quick but bumpy because there were some concepts in Apex which I did not know and had to learn in the transition. I am in the process of creating content which would help Java developers quickly transition to Salesforce and would like to get some feedback from you guys. This would  really help java developers to quicly transition to Salesforce(apex, visual force and lightning). Here are some topics which I was thinking which really hurt me.
1. Point and click configuration capabilities of salesforce( workflows, process builders and their impact on custom code)
2. Order of executions
3. Governor limits
4. Soql
5. Development
6. Visual force controllers and MVC
7. Debugging and Development.
What do you guys think are the top 3 things which you wish you had known and saved you time before you had started your first code in Salesforce?

Hi Guys,
I am reviewing apex and visual force code from a client org and would like to know if any body has a code review checklist which is focussed on governor limits. I want to identify key areas in triggers, controller classes, visual force pages, web services which are potential bombshells for future governor limits. Does any one have a checklist for this or share one if you have?

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement where i would need to pass a query string from a salesforce custom object to an external web application. The external web application would open in a new window and display a bunch of documents. The external web application requires a unique doc id and authentication information to open a window. Here is my question
1. What are the security configurations i need to do in sfdc to allow sfdc to allow a query string to be opened up in a new window?
2. Does sfdc add or append additional query strings along with our custom url like http://www.xxt.com/doc?id=10 which i need to be aware of?
3. If the external web application supports single sign on, how do we leverage single sign on from sfdc to the external web app?
Please feel free to share your experiences on passing urls with query strings to external applications..

Hi,
We have a need to retrieve all metadata and apex classes from a salesforce org and push to a git hub repository hosted on bitbucket using ant. I have used the ant migration tool which helps to retrieve all metadata and apex from the sandbox. I am struggling to create an ant task which would retrieve files from a github repository and commit to it. Do you guys have sample ant build files which can retrieve from github, push, commit and where do we store the login information for github? Thanks Buyan

Hi Guys,
I know salesforce changed the certification exams for the technical architect exam recently and they now have domain certifications. Can any body share a link for the new updates on technical architect please?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
 We are looking for an informatica power center consultant who had done salesforce integrations using the informatica sfdc connector for a project which is going to start in 2 weeks. We need some help in setting up informatica jobs using powercenter and integrate with sfdc. So please provide a project which you guys did with informatica powercenter, 3 issues you faced with possible solutions on how you resolved them? Please dont post canned responses and respond specifically to my question above..
Thanks
Buyan

What would be best approach to integrate with extenal system(Legacy)?  For an example,  Contact information should be in sync with both salesforce and our external system. Whenever "Contact Record" is created/updated/deleted in salesforce, it should be sent to external system and vice versa?  

I am attempting to upload 1.4 million contacts/leads. I need to use the api to determine if they belong to an active account before determining if they are a lead or contact. Once that is complete, I would like to add them to salesforce as the appropriate object type,  which would require an additional call per record. What is the best way to achieve this?

Hi,

Hi,

We have some integrations that loads data intosalesforce. These integrations some times load values into the Picklist that are not in the picklist.
HOw do you normally handle this? Is the only way to control this by creating reports and track it and correct it you self? Or can we force salesforce only to accept picklist values that are in the picklist? (I know that this would mean that we loose a lot of data)

Thank you for you help.

Best regards,
Christian

How do I check my API usage, I am not sure what is making all the calls and I am getting this notification everyday now. The monitoring report does not give me enough information to fix this issue.

"Your organization has made 13783 API calls within the last 24 hours. This is 92% of your organization's 24-hour API call limit of 15000 calls. You will receive this notice once every 24 hours until your organization's API usage drops below 85% of your 24-hour call limit (12750 calls).

For more detail on your organization's API usage, please review the API Usage Report under the Reports tab.

I'm an admin to a new org and the previous admin didn't leave much documentation on the current setup. I know there are data integrations that are feeding data into the org, specifically creating new accounts, but I am not able to track down A) the source of the data integration; B) the username being used to feed data; C) where the data integration is from; and D) the mapping of the data integrations.

Is there a way to find all the data integrations for my instance? I've reviewed the login history and I'm not seeing anything telling there.

Thanks!

My company has an API connection to an external system which updates SFDC nightly.  How can I turn off its access to the Account object?

The external system is sending incorrect information to the Account object.  Unfortunately, the administrator on the external system has no idea how to change the settings on her side.  So, I want to just turn off the access to that.  I want to keep the other integrations to other objects, though.

I've gone through the profile, which is a custom profile specifically for API.  I changed all settings for Accounts to read-only.  I checked the sharing settings, and there's nothing shared with that profile or a group that the API user is in.  But, it's still somehow able to update Accounts.  

This question is about ExactTarget - Marketing Cloud.

Is it possible to add dynamically through a Script Subscribers to a Suppression List?

I want to add and remove automatically in a daily basis subscribers to a Suppression List . 

I've read about doing it through webservices API, but anything about doing it with SSJS.

Hi,

When we pull a few months of data over the API, the older the data the slower the pull. We imagine there is some sort of caching on the database. Looks like the threshold is 3 months. If this is true, what can we do to make the pull faster? We usualy dowload 4-6 months worth  of data.

Thanks,
Stelian

Hi all,

We're using Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector 5.490 which comes along with triggered sends. triggered send may fire as soon as a record meets the criteria of a specific send.

Then, we have a coding running everytime a lead is created. In the final step the class updates a checkbox on the lead record:
lead.put('checkbox__c', true). I can ses on the record coding is working an checkbox is updated.

I also created a Marketing Cloud triggered send with the following criteria: test__c = true, that is checked every time a new record is created or existing record is updated to subsequently meet criteria.

However if the APEX coding checks the checkbox, the triggered send is not fired. If a user checks the same field, the email is send.
Other triggered sends on the lead object are running without probelms.

Has anybody already experiences a similar behaviour? Are there any workarounds?

Thanks!
Anne

Hey Guys- I'm looking to seperate my Hubspot activitity history from my actual Salesforce activity history. Esentially our sales reps have to scroll through all the automated Hubspot marketing activities to determine what their last contact with a lead was. Any ideas to divide the two? 

Hey Developer,
I have so many 10 apex classes and 4 trigger in salesfoce how can i check which apex class or apex trigger pulling the data from oracle to salesforce ???

We currently use a 3rd party solution - PingFederate with LDS and AD, and would like to move to a consolidated SSO solution using SF Identity and SF Identity Connect with AD.

Does anyone have recommendations for a consultant or Salesforce partner they have used to help with their implementation of SSO using Identity + Communities?

We are using Web2Lead to bring form data entered on our website over to SFDC as a generated Lead. We are using an html code provided by a devloper, but It looks like there is some PHP code issue because Salesforce is not receiving any information. We think the problem is that the PHP code provided in the Drupal docs generates errors. Apparently we're not alone in this but none of the suggested solutions work for us. can anyone help?

 

We added code to create a SF lead in the submit handler for a Joomla form. When this code is called we get this email error:

Record Information:

    city = Arlington
    company = FDGLand
    debug = 1
    debugEmail = tony@fdgweb.com
    email = tony5@fdgweb.com
    encoding = UTF-8
    first_name = aaa
    last_name = bbb
    oid = sam.fisher@hermanwallace.com
    phone = 123-456-7890
    retURL = https://hermanwallace.com/cb-registration/registers
    state = WA
    street = 16404 Smokey Point Drive
    zip = 98223

The curl output and error responses on the connection look good. Any ideas where I could try to get the lead created?

How can a send Case object data to an external web api using a custom button on the Case page? Or are there better options?

Hello,

Looking for a little direction to get my org cleaned up. I've inherited a few years worth of unmaintaned Apex and VF pages that are causing all kinds of problems - the most immediate of which is preventing me from deploying change sets. 

I fixed a number of SOQL related errors for one specific change set, but I'm still unable to delpoy. Apparently my code coverage is only 66%. So my question is: Where do I even start looking to address the gap from 66% to 75% ?  

Short term goal is simply to get a change set deployed. I know longer term we'll need a more comprehensive update to existing customizations.

The options I see are: 
  - Get coverage up to 75% percent (unsure where to start here since I'm just getting a general error message - and no specific classes or triggers are called out)
  - Start deleting classes that are no longer relevant (scary because I'm unsure of what other issues this may cause....)

Any help, or general direction on how to start tackling this issue would be great. Thanks!



 

Has anyone used rest API to integrate SFDC case info to HP Service Anywhere ticket info? Basically, I was wonering how much time it would take to develop calls to create and update between the systems. Thank you.
