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.

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 channel, Sto

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 it necessary to click "edit&quo
