Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 1



I was very excited to read through the instructions for the Process Automation Superbadge and discover that it is about a robotic company.  I love robots, especially my favorite robo-vac.  Why?  I can chase it!  I have been trying to catch the robo-vac since I was 4 months old.  Now, as a mature, fast crawler, I can trap it in a corner.  I have to be careful though, because robo-vac does not like to be caught and will start  beeping.  Then mom comes...and the fun is over.

I started this Superbadge in the usual way, by printing this instructions plus the slides and transcripts of the videos.  It is highly recommended to print the video transcripts, because there are a multitude of brief instructions that are easy to overlook while watching.  I also had to keep the volume on my laptop off while doing the challenge- just in case mom was listening in over the baby monitor.  If you are a new Trailhead Baby fan, all you need to know is that I'm a regular baby by day but a daring Trailblazer by night.  Mom is not aware of my nocturnal computing, so I keep the noise to a minimum, and she assumes that I am slumbering away.

Next: Create a new Trailhead Playground for the Superbadge and customize the name for easy reference.  Not sure how?  Reference this post from the Security Superbadge series.
Trailhead Playground customized

  • Install the managed package.  Need help?
  • Finish the pre-work: create a user "Nushi Davoud" and assign Nushi as my manager. 

On your user detail page - "Edit"
Step 1 was quite specific about what was needed, except there are two necessary validation rules.
  1. US/USA Validation rule
    Salesforce Success community thread 
  2. State Validation rule
    Another thread for help with two digit states.
Routing leads to the correct teams
The search function within setup of the Lighning experience is super convenient for this type of challenge.  Searching for Queues and Lead Assignment quickly led to the correct features.

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...
