I am pulling a report from salesforce and i need to add a column with a link to each record in the report. I am using this formula   HYPERLINK(

    "https://bdx.lightning.force.com/"

    & Sales_Coaching__c.Ext_SalesCoachingID__c, CUST_NAME

    )    but it is not working. it wont display a clickable link to the record it just displays:     _HL_ENCODED_https://bdx.lightning.force.com/_HL_Coach013625_HL__blank_HL_    please provide a detailed solution for this. I do not have permission to create a field so it has to be done within the report itself.

    Hello @Kayla Mcgregor

     

    Apologies for the inconvenience — I mistakenly used double quotes around the height and width values, which was incorrect. The correct syntax should be: 

     

    IMAGE(   

        "

    https://yourinstance.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?id=015000000000001&oid=00D000000000001

    ",   

        "

    https://bdx.lightning.force.com/

    " & Sales_Coaching__c.Ext_SalesCoachingID__c,   

        100,   

        100   

    )   

     

    Here’s a quick breakdown of how the IMAGE() function works: 

     

    -->Syntax: IMAGE(image_url, alternate_text, height, width) 

     

    -->Replace image_url with the full path to the image. 

     

    -->Replace alternate_text with the text you'd like to display if the image can’t be rendered. 

     

    -->The height and width parameters are optional. 

     

    -->Use text strings (wrapped in quotes) for the image_url and alternate_text parameters. 

     

    -->Use numeric values (without quotes) for the height and width parameters. 

     

    For more details on the IMAGE() function, you can refer to the official Salesforce documentation: 

    https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.customize_functions_image.htm&type=5

Hi all, 

We're using MCE to send automated messages based on conditions on Salesforce objects. We have several journeys that do that.  

The issue is that when you look at the records in Salesforce, you don't see the emails among the other activities (tasks, calls, meetings...). We'd like that to show up and give users a way to acess the content. If not directly, at least with the "view as webpage" link.  

 

AFAIK there are 2 solutions:  

1. Enhance the Individual email results with a "parentid" (whatID) and the view as webpage URL via a MCE automation and a SF Flow to relate the IER to the record. That's quite heavy and not nearly synchronous.  

2. Create a task (type other, subtask email) in Journey Builder. There's a no-code action for that, but apparently I cannot get the view_email_url value that was generated by the last email send. I tried an AMPScript in the email. This works, but it's executed once for the HTML version and once for the plain text version. So I would need to disable that part of the script in the plain text version and remember to do so whenever I update the actual content.  

 

So no solution is perfect. Any alternative solution or ways to improve 1 or 2 ?  

 

Thanks! 

Damien

    Hi @Tapish Bhardwaj

     

    Thanks for taking the time to reply :)  

     

    I noticed that I can have a specific text version but this is not only cumbersome, but also risky: if a user updates the HTML version, it will not update the text version. Or it will but reactivate the code.  

     

    Honestly, I can't wait to move away from MCE to MC On Core and get rid of all these shenanigans. We're wasting SO MUCH time on things that should be built-in. Come on, it's 2025 and we're talking about the supposedly #1 customer interaction plaftorm and it can't provide an OOTB 360° view in the CRM?  

     

    Sorry about the rant, but I'm a bit tired of MCE right now.  

     

    Cheers, 

    Damien

Hi 

I am hoping that someone can share a link to documentation or a Youtube video as I am struggling to find what I need. 

 

The telephony system is handled by a third party and when a phone call is acceptable a Task Record pops up on the screen. It contains a few details, but I would like a Screen pop up that displays data related to the Contact 

ie - phone, email, or any of the flags that we have to establish facts about the Contact - ie Contact requires extra assistance, Is handled by Management? 

 

Any direction or advice appreciated

We can't find that the ‘Manage Job Applications’ permission set grants read access and edit access to all Job Application fields, except edit access for Position and Candidate.

    hi @PANAGANTI PRADEEP KUMAR

     

    I also faced similar issue, if the package is correctly installed beforehand in the org, go to the Position and Candidate field under the Job Application objects in object manager, then edit them and select the change field type and next -> next-> select read only and unselect Edit Access (IMPORTANT) in the header section for both the objects. Comeback to the permission set you created and now you can edit as per the challenge.

I successfully received a special configuration Developer Edition org link via email for one Superbadge challenge. However, when I tried to get another special org for a different Superbadge using the same email address, I didn’t receive any follow-up email or org link this time.

I'm wondering:

  • Is there a limit per day or per month on how many special configuration orgs can be requested using the same email?
  • Or does each Superbadge require a different email address to receive the configured org?

If anyone has faced this issue or knows the limitations around this, please share your insights. Thanks!

    Hi, @Yash Gupta

     

    As far as I know, there are no limits on the number of registered Salesforce Orgs for a single email address. 

     

    Also, you can use the same email address for all your Superbadges.

    Only the Usernames need to be different. 

     

    Therefore, I assume there was some kind of glitch that prevented you from receiving the activation email for the Salesforce Org. 

     

    Sometimes it also happens that the waiting time for the Playground activation email can take up to 30 minutes. 

     

    Sincerely,

Challenge not yet complete in Admin intermediate

We can't find that the ‘Manage Job Applications’ permission set grants read access and edit access to all Job Application fields, except edit access for Position and Candidate.
