Throughout my Salesforce career and this blog, I've been exposed to and reviewed a bunch of tools. Below is a list of my favorite tools to work with.

My first real Dreamforce – 2018
This year I got lucky enough to get a full pass for Dreamforce, which meant it was my first time really getting to go - I don't count just going to the expo.

The Classic Side of Winter ’19 release
This has become a bit of a thing that I do when a new release comes out.

However, there are still so many companies out there that … Continue reading The Classic Side of Winter ’19 release

Monitor Setup Audit Trail via Email Alerts
In one of the Salesforce orgs that I work on, there are many users who have the System Administrator profile. While this is not a best practice, especially when they are not all actually admins, the need for those folks to have that profile does exist. When you have a lot of people with those … Continue reading Monitor Setup Audit Trail via Email Alerts
The Classic Side of Summer ’18
With every passing release, Salesforce produces fewer and fewer features that are beneficial for the Classic users. Instead, they focus primarily on new features just for Lightning. Since I know that many companies out there are still using Classic and are not ready yet to move to Lightning, I'd like to call out the changes … Continue reading The Classic Side of Summer ’18
