Introducing Salesforce Private Connect

Salesforce Private Connect greatly simplifies the setup for Network Administrators by eliminating the need to define such things as Internet Gateways, NAT Devices, Route Tables and Network Devices, as this is achieved through PrivateLink. Another simple but powerful benefit is the elimination of defining firewall rules, which when misconfigured, have led to large data loss events in the past for some cloud providers. Lastly, we provide a setup experience for Salesforce Administrators to provision the PrivateLinks from within Salesforce. This allows for a separation of duties between your Salesforce Administrators and AWS Administrators, enhancing control.

How to use Apex natively with Svelte, Vue, and Preact within LWC

Interoperability is an important aspect of every framework. While there are solutions like lightning:container that allow you to embed other frameworks within Lightning Experience, they often don’t feel native. Here we’ll show you a new technique, on how you can embed Svelte, Vue, or Preact apps natively with Lightning Web Components (LWC). Additionally, we’ll cover how to use props and events for bi-directional communication, and even directly run Apex from these apps.

It’s important to understand that mixing UI frameworks does come with a bit of overhead and runtime costs, so it’s important to weigh the overall cost/benefit of leveraging other frameworks to achieve the code reuse.

If you’ve ever read through an Apex debug log and tried to map the call tree in your mind, you know it’s not easy. It can be difficult to visualize the nested calls and duration of each method or statement, plus untangle the responsibilities of managed packages and Flows in the overall execution. The Timeline view in the Log Analyzer lets you see the call tree as a timeline. You can see what calls are nested and get an idea of the areas of code taking the longest to complete. This gives you quick visual clues to zero in on potential trouble areas. This can be a great timesaver when trying to figure out an issue.

Apex Best Practices: The 15 Apex Commandments

In software development, the applying the KISS principle means your code is kept clean and concise. There should be as little logic in your code as possible. Complex if else statements? Usually they can reduce to simple boolean logic. Reusing code in several places? Write a single method and reduce the clutter in your code. Simple code is easier to maintain. Always use the KISS principle and keep your Apex stupid simple.

In essence, Quiddity means: the essence of a thing. (Yeah, I did that.) Within Salesforce, Quiddity refers to the essence of an Apex Transactions’ execution.

Salesforce Adds New Intelligent Document Automation Features for Health Cloud

The healthcare and life sciences industries continue to rely largely on legacy systems as well as faxes and paper documents to manage patient records and communication such as enrolling patients in care programs, patient referrals and intake. With that comes a set of operational challenges, such as receiving documents across multiple channels and manually entering and re-entering information into disparate applications like PDF editors and electronic health records. This often makes it difficult to find the right document for the right patient when it is needed quickly. This can also make day-to-day business processes, such as enrolling patients in a care program, managing the patient referral and intake processes, or verifying prior patient authorizations, disjointed and time-consuming. When inefficiencies like these occur, they can lead to potential patient care risks, lost revenue and a frustrating experience for employees and patients.

Before starting this project, let’s take a look at npm, the gateway to the Node and JavaScript ecosystem. Npm is the JavaScript package registry; it is where you can find all the libraries and tools you need to develop applications with JavaScript and Node.js. Did you know that LWC and the Salesforce and Heroku CLIs are published on npm? Now you know!

With every Node.js installation, you also get the npm binary, which is used to install dependencies to your projects, such as in the previous blog post where we installed fastify and fastify-cors. For this new project, we’ll install pg, the PostgreSQL driver for Node.js.

What Is Salesforce Content Management System?

We are omni-channel people. Every morning I scroll through Instagram and email. And, more often than not, an eCommerce site or a blog as well. When this experience is seamless, I’m a fan. But, if the email and site are inconsistent, I get frustrated – and I’m not alone. According to our State of the Connected Customer report, 76% of customers expect consistent experiences across departments. Most companies creating, delivering, and personalizing content to their customers with traditional content management systems are ill-equipped. Legacy CMS’s are designed for only a single touchpoint, not an ever-evolving, omni-channel customer journey.
