What is the Difference in Lists and a Data Extensions in Salesforce Marketing Cloud

There are two different methods to store and segment subscriber data within Marketing Cloud: Lists and Data Extensions. Lists have limited functionality, whereas Data Extensions provide full flexibility to store and relate subscriber information. Salesforce Marketing Cloud lists and data extensions are the primary ways to manage your subscriber data. What is the difference between data extension and list in Marketing Cloud? In short, lists are best used for specific email sends lacking advanced data or segmentation, whereas data extensions can be used for basically any type of communication or data management need. If the goal is to organize data with simplicity, go for lists. What is data extension in Marketing Cloud? A data extension is a table that contains your data. With Marketing Cloud Connect, push tracking data from the Marketing Cloud back to your Sales or Service Cloud orgs using Salesforce data extensions (SFDEs). Data extensions are also filterable. What are the data extension limits for Marketing Cloud? There is currently no limit for the amount of rows that can exist within a Data Extension. This means that, without Row Based Data Retention, a Data extension can grow exponentially without any real upper limit. What is a list in Marketing Cloud? Lists are a default way of storing data in Marketing Cloud Email Studio. You can set different attributes for your customers by using lists, which represent a collection of customers and provide a simple method for audience segmentation. These attributes are used to store the position of the customer in a given list. List can be configured to send a welcome email when a subscriber opts in, and can have double opt-in. You will also hear groups mentioned. Groups are smaller segments of a list. When to Opt for Marketing Cloud Data Extensions There are two primary scenarios that distinctly indicate the need for utilizing a data extension rather than a list: Fluctuating Values Over Time: Data Relationship via a 3rd Data Point: Like Related Posts Salesforce OEM AppExchange Expanding its reach beyond CRM, Salesforce.com has launched a new service called AppExchange OEM Edition, aimed at non-CRM service providers.

Salesforce Document Generation
18Jul

Generating Documents in Salesforce

Salesforce document generation poses a challenge for businesses, given the intricacies of integration involved. Fortunately, a variety of tools are available for generating documents in Salesforce, and Tectonic is well-equipped to assist in their successful implementation. Salesforce Industries Document Generation empowers businesses to craft and manage accurate documents linked to standard Salesforce objects, encompassing contracts, opportunities, orders, quotes, and custom objects. For a more dynamic approach, Salesforce OmniStudio Document Generation facilitates the creation of documents using Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint templates. These templates can incorporate values from any JSON-based data within the text, including data sourced from various Salesforce objects. This versatile tool enables the generation of contracts, proposals, quotes, reports, non-disclosure agreements, service agreements, and more. Salesforce Industries Document Generation seamlessly integrates with Vlocity Insurance, Vlocity Health, communications, media, energy, utilities, government, and beyond. Vlocity Analytics, another valuable component, offers pre-built measurement tools that seamlessly integrate with Salesforce Reports, Dashboards, and Einstein. The Salesforce AppExchange boasts an extensive array of over 200 document generation tools. Your Salesforce partner can assist in selecting, installing, and implementing the most suitable options based on your business requirements. With Document Generation, you can generate contracts, proposals, quotes, reports, non-disclosure agreements, job offers, service agreements, and so on. You can generate documents using the specified sample client-side or server-side OmniScripts. You can also create your own OmniScripts by cloning and customizing the sample OmniScript to generate documents. Client-Side document generation is a synchronous process that results in a downloadable preview of the generated documents. You can generate documents from Microsoft Word (.docx), Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx), and Web templates. These templates can include values from any JSON-based data in the text, including data from any Salesforce object. You can optionally convert the resulting documents to .pdf format. Server-Side document generation is available in both the OmniStudio Foundation and Salesforce Industries packages. Server-Side document generation is an asynchronous process that’s best for large and rendering-heavy documents and for document generation in batches. The Server-Side document generation service is secure and scalable and is hosted on Salesforce Hyperforce. The generated document is stored in your Salesforce org, and is attached to the object for which it’s generated. You can use Apex Classes, sample Integration Procedures, or a sample OmniScript to generate documents. Client-Side document generation supports Customer Community Plus, Customer Community, and Partner Community users to generate documents using client-side OmniScripts. Server-Side document generation supports Customer Community Plus, Customer Community, and Partner Community users to generate documents using the singleDocxServersideLwc server-side OmniScript. With the right licenses, Document Generation is available in the Salesforce Industries package. Metering measures resource utilization levels and throttling controls resource access and use based on defined rules. Metering measures the number of server-side documents that are generated by an org hourly and daily. The default hourly and daily limits for processing server-side document generation requests are 1,000 per org and 24,000 per org respectively. Throttling maintains consistency and resilience of the server-side document generation service by managing incoming server-side document generation requests from multiple orgs. Throttling can also prevent service degradation caused by high volume of requests at peak hours by blocking requests that exceed the default limits. The request details are saved in the Document Generation Processes entity. You can retrieve the blocked requests and later retry the server-side document generation. No matter what your specific document generation needs, Tectonic simplifies the process of getting your system up and running seamlessly, whether it’s through Salesforce Quickstarts or comprehensive implementation services.

The Evolution of Industrial Revolutions

The Evolution of Industrial Revolutions

History of First Four Industrial Revolutions Throughout history, humanity has always relied on technology. Although the technology of each era looked different from today’s, it was groundbreaking for its time. People consistently used available technology to simplify their lives while striving to enhance and advance it. This ongoing pursuit of innovation laid the groundwork for the industrial revolutions. Today, we are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, marked by the rise of tech and web design companies. The Evolution of Industrial Revolutions. Here’s an overview of the three previous industrial revolutions that have led us to this point: The First Industrial Revolution (1765) The first industrial revolution followed the proto-industrialization period, starting in the late 18th century and extending into the early 19th century. This era was characterized by mechanization, which transformed industries and shifted the economic backbone from agriculture to industry. The massive extraction of coal and the invention of the steam engine introduced a new type of energy, accelerating manufacturing and economic growth through the expansion of railroads. This led to the enlarging of cities where factories and industry took place. The Second Industrial Revolution (1870) Nearly a century after the first, the second industrial revolution began in the late 19th century, marked by significant technological advancements. New sources of energy—electricity, gas, and oil—emerged, leading to the development of the internal combustion engine. This period also saw the rise of steel demand, chemical synthesis, and new communication methods like the telegraph and telephone. The invention of the automobile and airplane at the turn of the 20th century solidified the second industrial revolution’s profound impact on modern society. This led to the growing mobility of humanity. The Third Industrial Revolution (1969) In the latter half of the 20th century, the third industrial revolution introduced nuclear energy as a new power source. This revolution brought forth the rise of electronics, telecommunications, and computers, paving the way for space exploration, advanced research, and biotechnology. In the industrial sector, the advent of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and robots led to an era of high-level automation, revolutionizing manufacturing processes. This, in turn, led to a time of greater lesiure and freedom. Industry 4.0 Many consider Industry 4.0 to be the fourth industrial revolution, unfolding right before our eyes. Beginning at the dawn of the third millennium with the widespread use of the Internet, Industry 4.0 represents a shift from physical to virtual innovations. It encompasses developments in virtual reality, augmented reality, and other digital technologies that reshape our interaction with the physical world. The four industrial revolutions have fundamentally shaped global economies. Numerous programs and projects are being implemented worldwide to help people harness the benefits of the fourth revolution in their daily lives. From digital flipbooks to augmented reality gaming, the future is bright. For instance, the EU-funded RESTART project aims to transform vocational education and training (VET) systems to meet the digital skill demands of modern industries, ensuring that the workforce is equipped to thrive in this new technological landscape. What’s next? Look out as we are already into the Fifth Industrial Revolution.

XML-Based Messaging Protocol

The primary focus of the XML based messaging Protocol Working Group is to establish a framework for XML-based messaging systems. This framework encompasses the specification of a message envelope format and a method for data serialization. While the emphasis is on RPC applications, the framework adheres to the specified principles, catering not exclusively but primarily to RPC applications. XML messaging represents a rapidly growing, dynamic area of IT, a situation that makes it exciting and tiresome at the same time. As B2B exchanges and other forms of inter-business electronic communication grow, XML messaging will be more widely deployed than ever. Dirk Reinshagen, Javaworld What are XML messages? XML Messaging format is designed to facilitate the exchange of structured information in the implementation of Web Services within computer networks. An XML interface serves as the foundational layer of a web services protocol stack, providing a fundamental messaging framework upon which web services can be constructed. How can XML text messages be read? XML files are encoded in plaintext, allowing them to be easily opened and read in any text editor. To do so, right-click the XML file and select “Open With.” A list of programs to open the file will appear, and you can choose “Notepad” (Windows) or “TextEdit” (Mac) for clear readability. SOAP API (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol used for accessing web services in Salesforce.
