Dreamforce 2022 Survival Guide

Are you ready? Dreamforce is back in person this year and it is less than 2 weeks away! We created a complete survival guide with everything you need to know to conquer Dreamforce 2022. This complete guide includes 5 survival tips, must-see events, Dreamfest information, and of course, the nightlife parties/events!

5 Survival Tips

Bring a Portable Phone Charger

The last thing you want is your phone or tablet dying in crucial parts of the day at Dreamforce. If you have a portable charger, pack one and if you don’t, buy one. Your devices will die faster than you think due to the venues and presence of other attendees’ devices. One tip could be to put your phone on Airplane Mode and use as much Wifi as you can. With tons of attendees trying to access cell phone networks, your phone will die quick!

Stay Hydrated and Pack a Snack

Hydration will be key. You are going to be talking, walking, and networking all day. Pack a good snack for the event as it’s possible to lose track of time and forget to eat. You do not want to lose energy during Dreamforce so pack something to keep your energy levels at high capacity.

Leave Earlier Than Usual

Whether you walking, taking a Lyft/Uber, the Bart, a bicycle, or any mode of transportation, LEAVE EARLY. Traffic is going to be crazy during Dreamforce and you don’t want to miss crucial sessions or meetings because you are LATE.

Wear Comfortable Shoes

The last thing you need is your feet killing you. Do not wear uncomfortable shoes or new shoes you have not worn yet. If you do, your feet will hate you and you will be in pain. Don’t let your feet be the reason you miss out on important sessions.

Map and Plan Your Events!

Do not underestimate the size of Dreamforce. For you to successfully attend all desired sessions, you will need to MAP and PLAN every event on the schedule and map.

The Salesforce Winter ’23 Release Notes are here! We’ve gone through every page and highlighted new features and enhancements for Salesforce’s Service Cloud.

Swarming

• • Swarming with the power of Service Cloud gives Service organizations the tools they require to collaborate at scale with experts, solve customer issues, and report on Swarming participation and impact. Tackle customer issues as a team directly from Slack with the Service Cloud for Slack app, now generally available. Reduce your time-to-swarm with an enhanced Swarming setup page. To save time, agents can now add multiple swarm members at the same time, more easily understand field names, automatically close swarms, and update swarm record names.

Swarm on Customer Issues in Slack (GA)

• • Swarming with the power of Service Cloud gives Service organizations the tools they require to collaborate at scale with experts, solve customer issues, and report on Swarming participation and impact. Swarming gives agents the necessary tools to involve other experts and seamlessly log collaboration, participation, and ownership. So, your service team can collaborate with others to turn a new or complex issue into a closed case or incident. Agents save time and increase customer satisfaction by eliminating the need for a tiered and inefficient service model. The Service Cloud for Slack app, now generally available, includes some enhancements since the beta release.

Speed Up Your Time-to-swarm with Guided Swarming Setup

• • Get your team up and swarming with the enhanced setup page. Now you can turn on swarming, give users access to objects, set up your Service Console, and configure flows, all from one place. If you use Slack as your collaboration tool, the setup takes you to the new unified Salesforce for Slack Apps setup.

Add Multiple Users to your Swarms

• • Save time adding swarm members one by one as you create a swarm or after the swarm is created. Now you can add multiple users when you manually select users by name and add them all at once.

Boost Agent Productivity with Einstein Search for Knowledge

• • Now your service agents can find relevant articles faster and respond to customers more accurately for expedited case resolution. Einstein Search for Knowledge is now generally available.

Resolve Cases Quickly with Interactive Einstein Search Answers (Pilot)

• • Your agents can take immediate action by using Einstein Search Answers to extract the most relevant information from a knowledge article. The returned answers are just three lines so that agents can copy the answer and its internal link to their clipboard and then share it without leaving the page. Previously, agents opened the record page and then copied the URL and section of an article.

Set and Track After Conversation Work Time

• • Give agents a set amount of time after a customer call or messaging session to wrap up their work before they start a new one. Agents can use this time to send follow-up emails, update a case, or finalize their notes. Supervisors can use Omni Supervisor and reports to track the amount of time agents spend on wrap-up work.

Play back Voicemails

• • Route voicemails to agents so they can follow up with customers. Agents can play voicemail recordings and read voicemail transcriptions for all voicemails routed to them.

Share Incident Updates with Customers at Scale with Broadcast Communications 

• • Send mass communications to customers to keep them informed during an incident with broadcast communications. Help your incident teams send timely progress reports to impacted customers with broadcast emails available right from the incident record. Broadcast site banners help deflect customer cases by alerting authenticated or guest users of your Experience Builder sites about an ongoing incident. This saves your contact center time and maintains customer trust.

Route Work Faster with Estimated Wait Time for Customers 

• • To improve the customer experience, notify customers how long they must wait to speak to an agent. By knowing the estimated wait time, customers can make informed decisions about whether to contact your organization at a different time or use a different service channel. For example, if the wait time for a call is too long and the issue isn’t urgent, the customer can send an email instead.

• • Sales reps and other forecast users can benefit from improved visualization and navigation on the forecasts page. Quota attainment percentages are shown as progress bars in the summary view. If a forecast value was adjusted and changed recently, you can see more information in a single popup, rather than two. To keep your time frame as a point of reference, the time period column is frozen as you scroll horizontally in summary view.

Choose Custom Opportunity Fields to Include or Exclude from Your Forecasts

• • Now your sales team can filter by custom number, currency, and picklist fields for forecasts to pinpoint the data to study. Salesforce also improved your user experience by updating custom filter setup labels for readability.

Keep Deals Moving with Einstein Conversation Insights and Email Insights in Pipeline Inspection

• • Show sales teams a select group of Einstein Conversation Insights and Email Insights in Pipeline Inspection so they can dig deeper into customer interactions to keep deals on track. Insights also include suggested actions, such as viewing calls and email records.

Track and Sort All Your Tasks with the TO Do List

• • Now your users can see all the tasks assigned to them in one component that’s available throughout Salesforce. With the To Do List docked in the Utility Bar, Sales Engagement users can see, sort, and organize tasks from records or cadences in a single actionable view. Users can apply labels to tasks in the To Do List to customize how they organize and prioritize them.

View Territory-Based Forecast Types in the Salesforce Mobile App

• • Like in the Salesforce desktop site, you can see and use forecast types in the Salesforce mobile app that are grouped by territory hierarchy. For example, you can forecast opportunity revenue by territory. Previously, in the Salesforce mobile app, you could view forecast types grouped by user role only.

Assign Leads to Territories (Generally Available)

• • Ensure coverage for your sales teams’ prospects when you distribute leads among territories manually. You determine access levels for the leads in your reps’ territories.

Add Contacts to Cadences from Opportunities

• • Add opportunity contacts to cadences directly from opportunities and Pipeline Inspection. The opportunity is also automatically related to the contacts.

Create and Share Different Revenue Insights Apps to Meet Your Teams’ Needs

• • You can create multiple versions of the Revenue Insights app to match your sales organization structure. Team members can easily switch between versions in the Revenue Insights tab.

See Items That Need Attention on the Action Items Tab

• • The Follow Up tab was renamed to Action Items on voice and video call records. The tab includes a new Needs Attention subsection and continues to be your one-stop shop for follow-up items. Items include suggested actions, such as sending an email or creating a task.

Estimated 3 min. read

The Salesforce Winter ’23 Release Notes are here! We’ve gone through every page and highlighted new features and enhancements for Reports and Dashboards.

Reports and Dashboards in Slack

• • Take your reports and dashboards into Slack, with sharing, collaboration, and subscriptions right in the app. Demystify report creation with custom report type structural details before you start. Manage your experience better with contextual search and filters in Analytics Home

Review a Custom Report Type’s Structure During Report Creation

• • Not sure what custom report type to use when you create a report? You can now view the structure of available custom report types and choose the best one for your needs. The details panel shows the relationships between the joined objects, and tooltips explain the outcome of the joins.

Collaborate around data with Lightning Reports and Dashboards in Slack

• • Slack isn’t just for CRM Analytics anymore. Now all Salesforce users can browse, search, view, share, and subscribe to Lightning reports and dashboards using the CRM Analytics for Slack app. Teams can easily share reports and dashboards through scheduled subscriptions or posting to the team anytime. You can also run Einstein Discovery on Lightning reports and share the predictions and recommendations.

Subscribe to Lightning Reports and Dashboards Directly in Slack

• • Get reports and dashboards that you want to see regularly by subscribing for yourself and others in the CRM Analytics for Slack app. No need to go out to Salesforce to set up and import a subscription. You can subscribe to up to seven reports or dashboards in Slack. A subscription refreshes the report or dashboard on a schedule that you set and posts a snapshot of the item to you and your specified recipients in Slack.

\

Find Your Reports and Dashboards Faster in Analytics Home

• • Use new filtering and browsing capabilities to find and manage your Lightning reports and dashboards. Users now get an upgraded browsing experience with a series of filters to narrow search results and make it easier to manage analytics.

Filter Custom Report Types by Salesforce Fields (Beta)

• • Streamline report creation by finding custom report types that include specific standard or custom Salesforce fields. You can filter report types by up to 20 fields to ensure that the report contains the fields you need. For example, find the right report type to show which accounts bought which products by filtering on Account Name, Opportunity Name, and Product Model Number.
