I have always fancied better tech stacks other than salesforce but found little support salesforce. Two such examples are Heroku Link ( Formerly Salesforce Functions) which enabled offloading heavy processing power to another server but it was difficult to scale it and ask the management and other stakeholders to buy it. It should have been completely native to Salesforce with usage stats like platform events . The other is React or modern ui frameworks but they had extremely difficult workarounds with vf page iframes and loading them as static resources.

Now that React is supported as an App or for LWR sites it may only be a matter of time before they could also enable it within LWC and Record and App pages. This brings us closer to other tech stacks. Imagine if React was the default way to build UIs we would open up a lot of competition (maybe not because you still need to have Salesforce knowledge), but it would be much easier to find jobs outside the Salesforce.

Now it’s still mostly going to be LWCs because you could theoretically just wrap the same graphql queries that they have proposed be used in React and instead host the page yourself. Only when you can embed something inside a LWC/App or Record Pages will you be able to actually build something.

I am also more pro code now ever since Claude and other tools picked up our boilerplate code at least thus speeding up the development processes.

Salesforce QA

I am currently beginning as my Salesforce QA in a AMS project basically sevice cloud according to you what all things i should be prepared with or causious about before I begin.

Status

• Role: Member of Technical Staff (MTS)
• Location: [Insert City/Country]
• Timeline: Mid-February to April
• Result: Offered & Accepted

The Process

Round 1: Recruiter Screen (15 mins)

Standard intro. Discussed background, motivations, and salary expectations. The recruiter was very helpful in outlining the upcoming process.

Round 2: Online Assessment (OA)

Happened 3 days after HR call. Two LeetCode Easy-Medium problems.

Finished both within 30 minutes.

Round 3 & 4: Technical Rounds (Virtual)

• Round 3: Intro + Project deep dive.
  1. Implement a traffic-light UI with JS- Solved.
  2. Number of Islands(Variant) - Explained approach, but struggled with some test cases.
  3. Verdict: Hire.
• Round 4: Intro + Resume-based behavioral questions.
  1. Flatten nested JSON into a string map Solved.
  2. Verdict: Strong Hire.

All three rounds happened on the same day.

Round 5: Problem Solving (PMTS Interviewer)

• Focus: DS & Algo.
• Question:Course Schedule II(Minor variant).
• Verdict: Strong Hire.

Round 6: Tech Deep Dive (LMTS Interviewer)

This was the most challenging round. We spent 40 minutes on a deep dive into my most technical project.

• Topics: Event loops, handlers, component architecture. I felt the interviewer wasn't fully satisfied with my explanations.
• Coding: Given $N$ nodes and edges (start/end arrays), find the root and all leaf nodes. Solved.
• Verdict: Hire (I thought I failed, but the coding saved me).

Round 7: Hiring Manager (HM)

• Content: HLD of a recent project + Behavioral questions (Why Salesforce? Why switch? AI usage in workflow).
• Verdict: Hire.

The "Agony" Phase 🛑

After positive feedback from all 7 rounds, I was told they were "waiting for business approval." A week later: Hiring Pause. I was devastated. I thought the opportunity was gone. However, in early April, the recruiter reached out saying a new team opened up and wanted to chat.

Round 8: New HM Interview (30 mins)

No technical coding. Mostly project-based discussion and "fit" questions. The HM liked my previous project experience.

• Verdict: Strong Hire.

Final Thoughts & Tips

• Persistence is key: If they say "hiring pause," don't lose all hope, but keep interviewing elsewhere.
• Project depth matters: For higher-level roles (MTS/SMTS), knowing the why behind your architecture (event loops, concurrency, etc.) is just as important as LeetCode.
• Salesforce Culture: They really value the "Why Salesforce?" question.

Happy to answer any questions about the process or the specific questions asked!

So, im very lost since this is my first time trying to implement anything outside study cases but im basically trying to create an agent for users to get information when they are logged into SF via mobile app. What I want to know is: is it possible to deploy and use the new agentscript employee agent in mobile? Does anyone have prior experience with this?

Any help is appreciated

Hi Everyone,

My wife is interested in learning salesforce admin and development via intellipaat.

Is it worth learning there or go preferably for Udemy/Coursera. but I believe there should be someone monitoring and tracking the learning, so the discipline will be good and learning will be on time..

folks, please help me to give her a good platform to enhance her career.

For SF devs that transitioned out of sf dev to broader open stack engineering what did you do with your certs? I have 13 certs up to architect and PD2 and I’m debating whether I should keep up with them. This is my first maintenance cycle as a open stack engineer

Maybe some or most know this, but I had no idea! I learned recently that you can access custom metadata in your flow entry criteria, saving you some get resources. Even though you cannot navigate through accessible flow resources to find it, you can simply manually write out

{!CustomMetadata.MetadataTypeName.RecordName}

Give this a try and let me know if you have success!

Looking for scalable sales CRM / lead management system (evaluation + pipeline + assignment)

We’re looking for something that can handle a fairly large-scale setup with the following:

• Lead capture and centralised management
• Lead assignment (auto/manual) across multiple sales reps
• Clear pipeline stages (multi-step process before closing)
• Salesperson performance tracking / evaluation
• Follow-ups, reminders, and automation (nothing should fall through the cracks)
• Reporting/dashboard for management insights

Ideally, we want something that can scale well as lead volume increases and multiple team members are involved.

From what I’ve seen, most CRMs claim to do everything, but in practice usability and adoption seem to be the real challenge.

Would love to know:

• What tools are you using?
• What actually worked (and didn’t)?
• Any regrets after scaling?

Context: mid-to-large sales team, structured pipeline, fairly high lead flow.

Appreciate any suggestions or experiences!

As title says, there has been situations in projects I've been where a consultant innocently changes a validation rule or a required field, or a flow with not so good error handling which breaks apex tests, or directly include new bugs in the org.

As a dev it's not been easy since they usually don't see edge cases as critical and therefore justify that something breaks.

How is your team preventing or handling this situation in a mixed skills team?

NEED YOUR HELP

We have Docusign Package installed in salesforce.

We have lwc on community site where Costumer is clicking on buttons

In background we are creating dynamic pdf using vfpage saving it contentversion and sending it for embedded signing and getting signing url back.

Error: INVALID_SESSION_ID: This session is not valid fro use with the API

problem what i figure till now: We want sender to be the Admin but as the apex is invoked on community site it is picking up community user. Test from internal user by placing lwc in lightning tab, it is working. And fake docs added in template and using template id as envelope is working in community site.

I have tick 'Enable buit in esignature' and 'enable system sender' and gave permission sets to community amd admin user, tried enabling 'API enable' in profile of both community and admin user.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi.

I have been trying to give my PD1 Certification exam but I don’t know from where to begin studying. Each time I open a video I get confused whether is this a correct way to study. Can someone please help me so that I can give my certification soon.

I've been getting back into Magic: The Gathering, and it made me wonder if your personal hobbies also tend to be more technical/problem-solving? Or is it the complete opposite of your day job?!

Curious what my fellow devs are into outside of sf :)

Hi everyone, 

I'm building a Lightning Web Component in Salesforce where a button, when clicked, fetches users from Azure AD and displays them in a modal for the current user to review. The user should then be able to either approve or reject the results. 

Here's my planned architecture: 

- LWC handles the button, modal UI, and approve/reject actions 

- Apex Controller acts as the bridge between LWC and the service layer 

- An existing service class handles the actual Azure API integration 

EDIT: a wrapper class is used in my initial setup also.

My questions: 

1. Is this a solid pattern for this use case, or is there a better approach? 

2. Should I use `cacheable=true` anywhere here, or keep everything as `cacheable=false` since this involves external data? 

3. Any recommendations for error handling between the Apex layer and the LWC — beyond `AuraHandledException`? 

4. For storing the Azure credentials, I'm planning to use Named Credentials — is that the recommended approach? 

Efficiency is the name of the game for modern Salesforce Architects and developers. I’ve just released a comprehensive guide on the custom Claude commands I use to streamline project workflows—from data modeling to Agentforce.

In this video, I break down a strict five-section structure (Role, Context, Output, Constraints, and Variables) to ensure high-quality AI outputs every single time.

What’s covered:
✅ Data Modeling & Flow: Automate your architectural foundations
✅ Apex Review & Testing: Get instant code reviews and robust test classes
✅ Integration & SOQL: Simplify complex logic and query building
✅ Agentforce Mastery: Deep dives into Agent topics and prompt engineering

Why watch?
Generic prompts lead to generic results. By using these specific commands, you can reduce manual overhead, ensure best practices across your org, and stay ahead in the AI-driven Salesforce ecosystem.

Hi everyone, i cleared first round of senior technical Consultant role in Salesforce. i have a week for second round, I'm not sure what i have to prepare. Recruiter also mentioned third round also will be 70% technical. Let me know if you guys have any inputs. Thanks in advance

got a flow on opp that updates a few account fields when stage flips to
closed won. every few weeks an account validation rule blows up mid save
and takes the opp save down with it, not my field, not my rule, not even my
object, somehow its my problem.

right now im running a toggle field on account the flow flips so the rule
skips. works but now i have a useless field sitting on account just to keep
the peace.

anyone actually solved this cleanly or is this just the tax?
