The Differences Between Record Types and Page Layouts… and Why You Should Know Them

Many new Salesforce Admins and Users make the same mistake: Creating too many record types. Why is this a problem? Too many record types can make your org more complex than it needs to be. As new Admin comes along, or as changes are needed for your org, the more technical debt you have, the more time will be wasted in the future on people trying to understand or change the org.

Most probably you need fewer record types than you think. This is because most of the time, you can achieve the desired results you need with page layouts instead. Oftentimes, Users will create completely new record types with a new page layout, when all they need to do is create just a new page layout. In this article, we go over what exactly record types and page layouts are, what their key differences are, and how you can get started building them today.

How to Get Started With Salesforce Notification Builder

Earlier this year, Salesforce has introduced a cool new feature called “Notification Builder” as part of Salesforce Summer’19 release. Notification Builder enables admins to create customized in-app notifications for the targeted audience. You can define when you want the notification to trigger, what message to display and which users to notify. And you can do all of this in just a few clicks.

While the option to create notifications has been available for Salesforce admins for a long time, it was limited to creating standard notifications from predefined use cases. With the Summer’19 release, that barrier has been removed. Admins can now create in-app notifications using standard and even custom objects in Process Builder. You read that right – you can now create targeted notifications quickly without making any customization efforts. Learn how in this article.
