My Favorite Industry Things in the Salesforce Spring ’24 Release

This post will cover the common industry components, as well as what’s new within public sector solutions. My post around what’s new this release in core clouds can be found here.

Last time I made my post around industry capabilities much more prose heavy, but due to time constraints, as well as a lot of these capabilities being rather incremental, I’m sticking with bullet points here. Fret not, I’ll still do my best to make it educational and mildly entertaining.

My Favorite Things in the Salesforce Spring ’24 Release

I asked Bing to create an image of a person who enjoys both their air fryer and Salesforce and this is what I got. One string hoodies are the newest fashion trend!

I’m usually late to trends in home cooking. I’m a decent cook, but I don’t like my cabinets being a wasteland of previous trends. It took me about three years to get an InstantPot, and while that was fun for about six months, it now mainly collects dust.

I finally broke down and bought an air fryer recently and it’s pretty awesome. With children, cooking is a unique set of challenges. It often needs to be fast, and at the end of the day the last thing I want is a massive pile of dishes. The air fryer has shown that I can create tasty meals without having to pull out my proverbial rolodex of kitchen appliances to make a meal.

Enough about me and my kitchen appliances.

As usual, this blog covers the core clouds and new capabilities that spark joy for me, and hopefully you too.

Last release I did two posts: one around core clouds and another around industry components and public sector solutions. I’ve done that once again.

My Favorite Industry Things in the Salesforce Winter ’24 Release

For the past several Salesforce releases I’ve been trying to make my thrice a year release note blogs a little more succinct. I thought I’d try something different and break out the new capabilities in industries clouds to their own post.

This post will cover the common industry components, as well as what’s new within public sector solutions. This won’t be as light and breezy as my other post about the Winter ’24 release, but I’ll still do my best to make it educational and mildly entertaining.

My Favorite Things in the Salesforce Winter ’24 Release

I knew I’d be playing with fire reading the release notes and attempting to write this blog the same week as Dreamforce. But when life gives you a conference you’re not attending, you turn that slow work week into blog lemonade!

As usual, this blog covers the core clouds and new capabilities that spark joy for me, and hopefully you too.

Since I cover an industry (public sector) I’m going to do something different and do a second post where I cover core industry products and public sector solutions in that post.

Make Your Salesforce Demos Sing with Demo Data from ChatGPT

This is going to sound pretentious, but I’ve been using ChatGPT since late last year. One of the first things I did with it was to ask it to come up with pretend data for 311 cases in Salesforce. Instantly I knew that it would be a game changer for customer demos.

I see a lot of Salesforce demos and I know what can separate so-so demos from great demos, and often it can be data that’s relatable to the customer.

In this blog I’m going to walk you through how to use ChatGPT to create relevant mock data pretty easily so your demo can be personalized for your customer. This blog will cover uploading demo data into core, how to use ChatGPT to manipulate existing data, and how you can upload demo data into analytics as well.
