It's connection time!

The event monitoring section was easy - so you are on your own with those modules! I decided to try to finish the Advance Admin trail in one night! I thought it might be an all-nighter, but it turned out to be a lot easier than planned. The only part that took extra thought was the Salesforce Connect modules. A helpful note- Only 1 external data source is allowed for a Playground. So, you can't follow along with the instructions in the module AND complete the challenge in the same org.

Tips:

The challenge to Set up Salesforce connect requested an API name of “Phone_Plans_x” and “Phone_x.” I used these exact API names and Trailhead kicked off an error when doing the challenge check. Trailhead is looking for “Phone_Plans” and “Phone.”
The challenge to Integrate External Data- In order to add “0000123442” to the “Phone_UUID” field, make sure that the section where the field was added is visible. I had to adjust the page layout in order to be able to view the field.

Since I was able to get extra sleep, I decided to do some morning gardening instead of taking a nap!

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 4,5,6,7

Part of doing the Service Cloud Specialist superbadge is trying new things, so I am putting up picture of new things that I've tried recently. One of my favorite new things this week was taking a shower with my whole block collection. Mom put me in the shower, and I sneaked out to grab the block bin and dumped it in. I'm concerned to share photos because of the slight nudity, however, I can assure you that it was a glorious adventure. Instead, I'll share my favorite Saturday new thing- walking to the coffee shop for a sprinkle donut! Back to the superbadge... Challenge 4 Case Routing If you haven't taken the Onmi Channel module yet, now is a good time! I kept that particular module open one on screen while I walked through this step. It is hard to give many hints about this step without giving away too many details - so - the best advice is to read through the challenge and label each step with the corresponding Salesforce term. (IE - "The...

This afternoon, I added a genius wig in an attempt to look a little older and more experienced. The free lemonade offer worked! I made two dollars today!

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...
