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 ...

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...

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...
