I'm using Omnistudio for Doc Gen and creating a quote template. 

 

I need the output to have a separate table for each quote group (parent record) and list out quote line items (child records) that are related to that parent. Each table should ONLY show related quote line items that are related to THAT particular quote group.  

 

Currently my output is always showing ALL line items within each quote group, rather than filtering them to only display the child line items related to the parent quote group. 

 

I think I am missing something on how the extract and transform data mappers need to be structured. This is what my extract looks like

    Hi, is your output correct when you preview the extract/transform data mappers? Can you please also include screenshots of your output and the merge fields in the template? 

     

    Your template should look something like this:  

    (EDIT: I can't type the merge fields without them resolving to a Trailhead group name. They should be {{hash-Group etc}}

     

    {{ #Group}} ... fields from group ... 

    {{#LineItem}} ... fields from line item ... {{/LineItem}} 

    {{/Group}}

I need to send a mass emails to customers based on a specific criteria that is not captured in the API across various standard/custom objects. I have email addresses for all contacts in excel (from a non integrated tool) that have Contacts with records in the system. Was curious if there was a way to import the spreadsheet and map to the appropriate contacts to send mass emails, or some other way I can do this? Thanks

    You could try importing the Excel sheet and matching it to existing Contacts using email as a key via Data Loader or a tool like Skyvia, if you want a cloud-based approach, more options for scheduling, mapping, and settings in general (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/integrate-salesforce-excel). Once matched, flag the records and use a campaign or marketing tool to handle the actual emails.

    Hi, hope it will be useful: 

     

    Yes, some exam questions go way beyond Trailhead. Trailhead’s great for learning concepts, but the exam mixes in real-world scenarios, especially around things like sharing rules, flow logic, and record access. 

     

    I’d also definitely recommend checking out Focus on Force, it's paid but solid, and their explanations are detailed. Also worth looking at Quizlet, where some users share flashcards based on past exam questions (obviously unofficial). 

     

    For mocks, Focus on Force again has solid practice exams. If you want free ones, search for Salesforce Admin mock test or try the old CertifiedOnDemand practice quiz (some parts are still available). 

     

    I did mine via Webassessor (online proctored). It was smooth, just make sure you test your webcam/mic ahead of time and keep your desk clean (they really do check). And have your ID ready

Has anyone experience with setting up the integration between Zendesk and Salesforce while using Person Accounts? This seems to be a limitation, anyone made it work though?

    Yeah, Zendesk’s native integration doesn’t play well with Person Accounts out of the box, it expects standard Contact/Account setup. Skyvia might help, it lets you map data directly to Person Accounts with custom logic.

I’m building a solution where the agent needs to have some context past the 6th utterance. Salesforce has mentioned it loses context at around the 6th utterance. Any ideas how I can continue grounding it with relevant data past the 6th utterance?

Can I have something that continues persisting certain data points through all my topics and actions that get called?

Thanks for any suggestions

    Yeah, this is something we ran into as well when testing multi-step use cases. The memory drop-off starts to show after around 5-6 turns, especially if you rely on implicit grounding. 

     

    One approach that worked for us was persisting key context (like account ID, issue type, or user intent) to a custom field in the session or using Session Variables where possible. Then we re-inject that context manually in prompts using context.record or by appending it to the system message. It’s not elegant, but it does the job. 

     

    If you're building your own actions or flows, another trick is to store critical info in a custom object or temporary data store and have a handler retrieve it when needed. That way, you’re not at the mercy of memory limits and can reference that grounding data whenever you switch topics or revisit something a few turns later. 

     

    It’s a bit more setup, but it gives you tighter control over what the agent remembers and when.

I have a custom Object whose OWD sharing settings are Private and no Sharing Rules. The only Profile with FLS for any of the fields on this Object is that of the record owner. I need the owner of a record of said Object to be able to share with individual User(s) of their choice. 

 

I am not able to find the way to allow this. Once I share (standard Share button) with a User and log in as them, they are unable to see the record. 

 

I have tried doing the owner permissions as both a Permission Set and a Profile, hoping this might help. Since the User to be shared with will vary from record to record, I cannot use a group for Sharing Rules or a Permission Set. 

 

I would appreciate any insight anyone has - either how to accomplish this or to tell me I'm chasing my tail and it can't be done. 

 

Thanks!!

Hey all! I’m a Salesforce Admin at a SaaS company, and we’re trying to make a decision on how to handle returning customers who were previously churned. It doesn’t happen super often, but we’ve had a few customers come back recently and it’s raising some questions. 

 

The main issue, is we integrate with other solutions (Intacct/Adaptive Planning) for financial and forecasting. A new Intacct ID is required when they return, which makes it cleaner

to create a brand new Account in Salesforce. On the other hand, I don’t love duplicating Accounts because we lose historical context in the CRM, and it can get messy for our Sales, CS, and Support teams. 

 

I’m wondering how others handle this — reopen or create new? 

 

Here’s the options we're considering:

Option 1: Reopen the old Account

  • Pros: Keeps CRM clean, retains full history, no confusion in reporting
  • Cons: Can cause confusion with financial/forecast planning integrations

Option 2: Create a new Account

  • Pros: Clean slate for integrations, financial and planning teams prefer this
  • Cons: Duplication in CRM, harder to trace lifecycle, need to relink Contacts/Cases/etc.

Possible Hybrid Approach:

  • New Account gets created
  • We link it back to the original via a custom lookup
  • Copy data onto the new account with apex/flows to ensure data cleanliness

Curious to hear how others handle this in integrated orgs. If you’ve dealt with this before, what worked for you? Any suggestions or best practices to share with this use case? Thanks in advance! #Salesforce Admin #Sales Cloud #Data Management

    @Kaleigh Garcia From a data perspective, it's always best to avoid duplication — it rarely leads to anything beneficial. If I were in your position, I’d start by identifying the core business needs and requirements first, rather than jumping into the technical side. Next, I’d analyze the integration touchpoints to understand what’s triggering what. In many cases, existing accounts can be configured to meet the same objectives without creating duplicate records
