#2 URL HACKS FINALLY AVAILABLE IN LIGHTNING ! 

 

Now you can create custom buttons or links in Lightning. Ex: /lightning/o/Account/new?defaultFieldValues=Name=Bonjour

 

This enhancement doesn’t apply to Lightning Out, Lightning communities and the Salesforce Mobile Application. To create a custom button or link, use this sample formula:

 

/lightning/o/Account/new?defaultFieldValues=

    Name={!URLENCODE(Account.Name)},

    OwnerId={!Account.OwnerId},

    AccountNumber={!Account.AccountNumber},

    NumberOfEmployees=35000,

    CustomCheckbox__c={!IF(Account.SomeCheckbox__c, true, false)}

 

#3 EINSTEIN OPPORTUNITY SCORING

 

Gradually in 2020, all Sales Cloud users will be able to benefit from Opportunity Scoring (at no additional cost!) Einstein Opportunity Scoring assigns each opportunity a score, from 1 to 99, which is available on opportunity records, list views, forecast pages and reports. These scores will help sales reps prioritize opportunities so they can close more deals, faster.

+ Filter opportunity products

#4 SALESFORCE DATA MASK

 

The GDPR requires companies to protect their customers' data. This data, stored in your Salesforce Production environment, must not be exposed to third parties.

When you use your sandboxes (Salesforce development environments), some sandboxes may replicate some or all of your data, identically.

Salesforce suggests you use the Salesforce Data Mask. Install this package in your production instance, it will allow you to anonymize your data when generating your sandboxes. Trailhead Module

#5 CASE MERGE

#9 SALESFORCE ORDER MANAGEMENT

 

Salesforce provides a complete new process for managing Salesforce orders. Salesforce Order Management enables the development and automation of processes that manage the entire order lifecycle and provide superior customer service. Why? With Salesforce Order Management: 

 

  • Consumers can submit orders from any ecommerce channel, and then track and manage their orders throughout the order lifecycle.
  • Merchants can manage order fulfillment, shipping, payment capture, invoicing, and service by using integrated and customizable business processes and order workflows.
  • Service agents can access a master repository of all order-related information to see a global snapshot of the entire order lifecycle, and process cancellations and returns.

#10 CUSTOMER 360 DATA MANAGER

 

Salesforce offers a new tool called 'Customer 360 Data Manager'. This tool provides a united view of customer orders / requests.

 

The connection with customers has become more complex. More and more customers want to make business experiences and transactions easy and transparent. 

 

The Customer 360 Data Manager allows users to connect all customer data across the enterprise, including multiple Salesforce organizations, B2C Commerce Cloud instances and even systems outside of Salesforce.

#BONUS: DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT 

 

Your Customer Service Department communicates with your customers on a daily basis: by e-mail, by phone, but also via your website by chat, chatbot, etc.

Salesforce now offers you, via the "Digital Engagement" license, to communicate with your customers via WhatsApp.

The popularity of WhatsApp makes it a privileged tool to enable you to deliver efficient customer service that meets your customers' expectations. And your chatbots can also be used with WhatsApp!
