Big Object in Salesforce

What is a Salesforce Big Object? In the realm of Salesforce data management, alongside standard objects, custom objects, and external objects, Salesforce Big Objects play a crucial role when dealing with extensive datasets. These specialized objects are designed to efficiently handle and store billions of records while maintaining high performance levels. A Salesforce Big Object serves as a repository for massive volumes of data within the Salesforce platform. Organizations can use big objects to archive data from other objects or import vast datasets from external systems, providing a comprehensive view of customer information. Clients and external systems access big object data through a standard set of APIs. Regardless of whether an organization has 1 million, 100 million, or even 1 billion records, big objects consistently deliver robust performance, which is a defining feature of this data storage solution. What are the constraints associated with Salesforce Big Objects? There is a limit of up to 100 big objects that can be created within a Salesforce organization. The field limitations within big objects mirror those of custom objects and are dependent on the type of Salesforce license held by the organization. Transactions involving big objects, standard objects, and custom objects are not supported by the Big Objects feature. How many records can a Salesforce Big Object accommodate? Salesforce Big Objects excel in managing vast datasets within the Salesforce ecosystem without compromising performance. They reliably support up to billions of records and offer accessibility through standard APIs for seamless integration with Salesforce organizations and external systems. Custom big objects can be created using the Metadata API. Why do we use Salesforce Big Objects? Salesforce Big Objects provide an effective solution for storing and managing immense volumes of data, extending to billions of rows, on the Salesforce platform. They are particularly valuable for archiving Salesforce data or managing extensive datasets from external systems. Content updated August 2023.

Integration With Salesforce

What is Salesforce Integration? Integration is the process of establishing connections between two or more applications within an enterprise system. In many cases, these applications are not inherently designed to function together seamlessly. In other words, they don’t know how to talk to each other. They may not map or recognize or categorize data in the same way. They may not share the same unique ID or identifier for contacts or accounts. What does Integration With Salesforce entail? When referring to integration, it involves establishing a link between a specific Salesforce instance and another database or system. This connection can take the form of inbound, outbound, or bi-directional, connecting to databases, other Salesforce instances, or cloud-based data sources. A common example of code-based Salesforce integration is achieved through Apex, a proprietary programming language with a syntax similar to Java. The advantages of code-based integration using Apex include its simplicity and user-friendly language. Why is Salesforce integration crucial? Integration with SFDC plays a pivotal role in facilitating a smooth and error-free flow of data across different departments, automating data synchronization. Enterprises often utilize various software applications for purposes such as enterprise resource planning, communication, accounting, and data management. Integration ensures these disparate systems work cohesively. The time savings alone of integration instead of users having to log in and out of multiple systems all day long is often worth the investment. Integration allows the seamless connection of data, systems, or AI models, ensuring secure interactions and automating tasks and processes across diverse environments, including legacy systems. This empowers both developers and business users to build efficiently through clicks, code, and AI-powered natural language prompts. Tectonic has extensive experience integrating SFDC with third party products.  Contact us today to learn more. Content updated December 2024.

Landing Page Split Testing

A/B testing, also known as “split testing,” involves conducting experiments with two or more variants of content, such as a landing page, email, or ad. These variants are presented to different segments of your audience to determine which one performs better. Split testing optimizes pages that best encourage your visitor’s requested call to action. In an A/B split test, two or more versions of a landing page (e.g., version A and version B) are randomly displayed to visitors, and the best-performing version is chosen as the “winner.” Subsequently, the winning version is displayed to all incoming landing page visitors. Landing Page Split Testing Process The typical process for landing page split testing involves establishing conversion goals, identifying areas for improvement, and creating a test hypothesis, such as changing the CTA button color or headline text. A split test, in particular, compares two entirely different versions of a landing page to assess which design aesthetic yields better conversions. A/B landing page split testing allows you to act as a scientist, making data-driven decisions based on how people behave when they interact with your page. For instance, if you want to test which landing page headline generates more leads, A/B testing provides a systematic approach. Rather than making changes blindly, A/B testing allows you to gather evidence by sending half of your traffic to one version and the other half to a different version, helping you determine the most effective option before implementing broad changes. Never underestimate the value of your landing page headline. Here are some great tools from Wordstream. Split testing is especially beneficial for pages with significant changes, such as completely overhauling a homepage, rewriting a product detail page, or various landing pages changes and updates. It is recommended for testing complex back-end scenarios, like different checkout processes involving technically intricate page logics.
