Salesforce Summer '22 Release - Service Cloud Top Features

Summer '22 release is round the corner. Below is my top pick from Service Cloud perspective:-

Get the Improved Entitlements and Milestones Experience

Improve your service-level agreement (SLA) reporting experience and provide excellent customer service with enhanced milestone timers and changes to the entitlement process entry and reentry behavior.

HowThe milestone timer now stops when a record exits the entitlement process. It’s no longer necessary to stop the milestone timer manually by selecting Is Stopped.

The milestone timer stops based on the first action taken to stop it and not the most recent one. For example, if a record exits the entitlement process, but a user clicks Is Stopped afterwards, the milestone timer is stopped at the time that the entitlement exits and not when Is Stopped is selected. If the record reenters the entitlement process, the timer resumes from the time that the record exited the entitlement process.

Use Service Cloud Voice with an Existing Amazon Connect Instance

Service Cloud Voice with Partner Telephony from Amazon Connect users can now choose whether to create an Amazon Connect instance or reuse an existing one when you create a contact center in Salesforce.

HowWhen you create a contact center in Salesforce, select Use an existing Amazon Connect instance, and upload your XML definition file. To keep your Lambdas and key pairs up to date, install the ServiceCloudVoiceLambdas serverless application.

Make More Calls with Service Cloud Voice

Scale your contact center’s call capacity with 7,000 concurrent voice calls and 1,400 utterances per second now available for Service Cloud Voice. Agents can meet the demands of your business and better serve your customers.

HowWhen a contact center reaches 7,000 concurrent voice calls, calls can still come through, but some calls may not be fully transcribed.

Reinforce Customer Trust with Service Cloud Voice HIPAA Compliance Offerings

To increase trust with your customers, Service Cloud Voice is now covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA ensures that all personally identifiable information maintained by healthcare organizations, including voice call transcripts and phone numbers, is protected from fraud and theft.

WhyUse Shield Platform Encryption to comply with HIPAA regulations on storing your sensitive Service Cloud Voice information. With Shield Platform Encryption, you can add another layer of protection to data at rest while preserving critical business functionality.

Refresh or Create a Sandbox Org and Link it to an Amazon Connect Instance

Refresh or create a sandbox org and link it to an Amazon Connect instance using sandbox templates and Metadata API.

HowUse the sandbox template to refresh or create a sandbox org for Service Cloud Voice. After you refresh or create the sandbox org, use Metadata API to link the org to an existing AWS account or contact center. For example, you can refresh a sandbox org with Service Cloud Voice and link it to the same Amazon Connect instance, or hook it up to a completely different instance.

Mashup Integration in Salesforce

During preparation for TA certification exam, I came across a word Mashup for integration a number of times. I explored about it and below is description:- Mashups, sometimes called “composites,” are hybrid applications created by bringing together several data sources and Web services to create a new application or to add value to an existing application. Behind the scenes, mashups may require different levels of integration, depending on whether the mashed-up data is only meant to be viewed, whether it can be edited, and whether data is actually transferred between systems. There are three types of mashup:- Client Presentation Mashup - In this type of mashup the integration takes place strictly at the visual level. It makes possible to view data from two or more applications in a browser,  without actually moving data between the applications. Example - Google Maps. Client Service Mashup - As mashups evolve, they are becoming more complex and sophisticated. Client ser

Grant Access Using Hierarchies

Problem There is a custom object say 'XYZ' and OWD for this is set to ' Private ', which means record of this can be seen by only owner and users above in role-hierarchy and territory. However, to share this with other user, we can manually share it. The problem is that I don't want other users, who are above in role-hierarchy and territory of the user with whom record has shared, can see it. Solution We can un-check ' Grant Access Using Hierarchies ' check box for object 'XYZ' on 'Sharing Settings' page. We can go to Setup >> Security Controls >> Sharing Settings and click on ' Edit ' button. On the edit page, we can un-check ' Grant Access Using Hierarchies ' for required object.  Major uses of 'Grant Access Using Hierarchies' are:- If you disable the Grant Access Using Hierarchies option, sharing with a role or territory and subordinates only shares with the users directly asso

ReadOnly Annotation

Use Case:- You want to show up to 10000 record on single VF page. Count of records based upon some business requirement where number of records could go up to 1 million. So far, it was not possible to achieve above in VF page because of following limitations:- The maximum number of items in a collection that can be iterated over using components such as <apex:dataTable> , <apex:dataList> , and <apex:repeat> is 1000. Normally, queries for a single Visualforce page request may not retrieve more than 50,000 rows. Solution:- But with API version 23.0 , salesforce has introduced ' ReadOnly ' annotation which has following functionality/restriction:- The @ReadOnly annotation allows you to perform unrestricted queries against the Force.comdatabase. All other limits still apply. It's important to note that this annotation, while removing the limit of the number of returned rows for a request, blocks you from performing the following operations
