Super Badge for a Super Baby

Tonight I started on my very first Superbadge.  I am going to be a Lightening Experience Specialist!  Getting the custom fields and objects set up was easy.  I was going to finish the badge tonight! Then.... I started on the first process....  After 4 hours of trying to get Process Builder set up correctly, I have some wisdom to share:

  1. Read ALL of the requirements before starting.  Read slowly! 
  2. Print the instructions!  After 5 or so tries, it was helpful to check off the items that I knew were correct.  
  3. Take a break.  After the 2nd hour, I was thinking some 4 letter words- like poop! - I did not say the words!  I'm not a potty mouth, plus mom has a baby monitor right by her pillow.  She would be upset if my first word was anything other than "mama."  I am holding out on talking because I know that she will expect more words if I say one.  Plus, it is cute to watch her say "mama" over and over again while pointing at herself.  I digress...  Two hours of processes left me hungry, so I requested 3am room service, took a short nap, then started again.
  4. HELP!  I'm stuck!  I can not figure out this process.  It's time to search the web...

      Yes, I did. I actually just re-completed this Superbadge and will be publishing a series of posts with many more tips than the original post. If you explain the question, I'll do my best to help!

      Hello,
      I am happy to help with a specific challenge if you would send the error message. Please leave the error message as a comment on the blog post that details the specific question where you are stuck. I do not post "walk-throughs" of entire Superbadges.

Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 5

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom! Tonight's challenge involves the creation of two processes.   Processes.  Have you guessed the theme of the photos that go along with the Trailhead - Process Automation Specialist Superbadge series?They are a few of my favorite day to day processes!  You, my amazing reader, get more than tips for a Salesforce Superbadge.  You also get personal insight into the life of a Trailhead Baby!  I hope that you feel inspired. Process Builder sketch Last night, I drew a rough sketch of my process: Was it pretty?  No. Did it help?  Yes! The sketch allowed me to organize all of the instructions into a reasonable order before I started clicking.  It also removed the approval steps from Process Builder and highlighted (with *'s) the prerequisite items to building my process. * Email Alerts I needed the Email Alerts set up before I could create either the process or ...

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

A confession - I know next to nothing about service cloud.  While I was excited that a new superbadge was available, it made me a little nervous that I had to do all of the prerequisites and tackle new things like macros.  New things - new year - let's get started! (Right after I finish guitar practice) If you are also a service cloud novice, the Omni-Channel Basics is a crucial prerequisite even though it is not officially required. Challenge 1 App Appearance  This, like all superbadges, requires a careful read through the instructions prior to any clicking.  I found it helpful to take a separate notebook and write down the steps that I would need for each challenge step - for example -  My rough notes for challenge 1: Create 2 profiles  Tweak service Console 3 new items on utility bar Allow access for new profiles Create User  Beware - After editing the service console, you might have to edit the new profiles.  I found i...

Lightning Experience Specialist Superbadge - 8

The best present? Santa says that I am getting a little brother in April! Let's import some data!  It's simple to mass delete the records if there are inserted incorrectly - and you have me to help!  The goal with this post is to move beyond the "how" of data import and explain the "why."  The challenge makes more sense when you think about the relationships between the objects.  I'll explain more below. First: A confession I, the Trailhead Baby, am not a perfect Salesforce admin.  Even though I completed this entire Superbadge in 2017, I still messed up the data import badly enough that I had to mass delete all of my records and start over.   Quick tip: It may help to delete the existing data before you start the import.  This way, when you extract recordID's, you only extract the ID's of the records that you have already imported vs. the records that were already in the Trailhead Playground by default. You can use many da...
