CLE #SalesforceSaturday

CLE #SalesforceSaturday is an opportunity to learn and share about Salesforce.  Join me any Saturday you're available.  Most of the year, this morning meet up is held at coffee shops around the greater Cleveland area (it moves around).  Meetups get posted in the Trailblazer Community in Trailhead and to LinkedIn (just check in my profile for posts).

Winter 2022/23

Our virtual meetings this season focused on building a simple role playing game in Salesforce.  It included a flow to create characters.  Future enhancements (yet to be created) include adding a short adventure, adding a score board, and making all this accessible via an Experience Cloud community so we can invite others to join in the fun.  This topic was chosen by a group regular who is learning Salesforce in part so she's ready to enter the workforce when she graduates in 5 years.  Please note that since she is a minor, these sessions were not recorded.  However, documentation on what/how we built it is provided below.

Getting Started

The document below provides instructions for getting started with Trailhead.  It helps you set up your own Developer Org to connect to so that you don't risk losing what you've done if it's tied to a company's Salesforce instance (in case you change jobs in the future).

Past Sessions

In 2020 and 2021, we held mostly virtual sessions. The document below comes from an Oct. 2020 session on how to build Knock, Knock Jokes via Flow in Salesforce.
