Introducing- the Trailhead Baby's mommy

Me and my momma
Hi there! Instead of tackling a Trailhead superbadge today, I'd like to introduce you to the most important person in the world: my mommy.  She's the reason that I started playing on Trailhead and became the Trailhead Baby.

For the first 6 months of my life, I was an ordinary baby - eating , napping, pooping - until I observed that mom was doing something exciting every evening on her laptop.  It looked like a game.  There were pictures!  Mom went to get a glass of water and left her laptop on the floor.  I crawled over and snuck a peek.... the rest is history!

My mom is extraordinary.
She works.  
Mom loves her job - she does marketing and business development for Capstorm.  I asked mom what "business development" means and she said that it means she drinks coffee and goes to meetings.  She must really like coffee! I know she doesn't like meetings.  Capstorm has an app for on-premises - that means on your own computer - backup of Salesforce data.  The part of mom's job that is really neat is that she helps people use Salesforce data.  One time she helped me put data into my Trailhead Playground - accounts, contacts, opportunities, and leads- without having to use a spreadsheet or data loader.  (She calls it a "point & click restore with preserved relationships.)

She leads a Salesforce user group.
Mom volunteers with the St. Louis Salesforce user group.  She does not let me go to the meetings, but I've heard that user groups are a really good place to meet other people who love Salesforce.  It sounds like a cool club.  Mom said that I can come to a meeting once I turn 5 years old. 
She's my momma.
Being my mommy is her most important job.  She takes me to the park and the pool.  Sometimes she is very silly like in the picture above.  She was tickling me!  Her favorite thing to do is to play with me and my little brother.  I try to get up as early as possible- usually 6am - every morning so that she has time to play hide-and-seek before work.  I heard mommy tell daddy that she wishes I would sleep longer on Saturday mornings, but I know that she doesn't really mean it.  Early mornings with me are the best part of her day!

If you want to meet my amazing mommy, she will be at Dreamforce!  It is her first year going, so you should say 'Hi!' and make sure that she has fun.

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 ...

Security Superbadge -2

Challenge 2: Record-Level Security Settings I created the three user profiles last time, so the starting point tonight was the next tier of security - roles.  I set up the roles per the provided org chart, making sure to follow the opportunity restrictions from the directions. Next, I set up the required user and assigned her to the correct profile and role. Hint:   Use a real email address for Samantha Cordero.  You will need to login as Samantha in order to create an opportunity for her.  While you are at it, go ahead and login to Salesforce1 as Samantha. Once Salesforce1 is enabled, you can set up the appropriate permissions.  You may want to take take a peek at a Salesforce Knowledge Article .   Me - as a Project Manager. Next, I addressed the special role - Project Managers Project Managers require a role, permission set, and a  sharing rule.  Whew! For the final step, I set up the remaining sharing rules in     ...

Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it!  My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk.  He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup.  You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor.  It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge.  Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages.  This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax.  A few common errors: You can see this error and st...
