Platform Cache Detection for SOQL

Detects missed caching opportunities that impact performance

Customer Need

Repeated SOQL queries in Apex logic create redundant processing and strain governor limits—especially in high-scale environments. Developers needed guidance on where caching can reduce database load.

​

Solution / How To Configure

ApexGuru now detects repeated SOQL queries that should be cached using Salesforce Platform Cache. It flags missed opportunities where semi-static data is queried without caching across triggers or entry points.This release adds detection of SOQL reuse patterns that should leverage Platform Cache, along with examples and links to Salesforce caching best practices.

​

Use Case

A dev team reviewing trigger logic sees repeated queries to a lookup object. ApexGuru highlights the missed use of Platform Cache, helping the team refactor the query and improve runtime efficiency.

​

Impact

Prevents unnecessary database load, reduces CPU time, and safeguards against SOQL limit breaches—especially in workflows involving frequently reused or semi-static reference data.

Expanded Antipattern Coverage

Four new detection rules now live to boost Apex code efficiency

Customer Need

Subtle performance issues—like sorting in Apex or manual aggregation—often slip through reviews and accumulate over time. Developers need smarter guardrails to flag these risks early in the cycle.

​

Solution / How To Configure

ApexGuru now detects four new antipatterns: sorting in Apex, inefficient Map creation, manual List/Set copying, and using Apex loops for data aggregation instead of SOQL. These are flagged with clear examples and fix suggestions.

​

Use Case

Before a release, a developer scans Apex classes and sees ApexGuru flag a manual loop that totals Opportunity values. Replacing it with a SOQL SUM() improves both code clarity and runtime efficiency.

​

Impact

These detections reduce CPU usage, improve org stability under load, and help dev teams meet performance guardrails without guesswork.

Multi-Select recipients for Email Action

Usability improvements for Send Email Actions

​

Customer Need

Users wanted a way to select multiple values for recipients. Earlier recipient configuration required both single and collection values for populating CC, and BCC recipients.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Admins can now select multiple literals, scaler, collection values for the same input without worrying about the logic to merge values.

At the runtime, selections made are individually evaluated and the values are bundled to make one list. Which is then assigned to the input.

The order of pills decides the order in which values are positioned in the bundled list.

Use Case

Admin wants to easily add multiple recipients without the need to use assignments or provide it to collection inputs

​

Impact

Admin productivity, usability improvement.

Invocable Action Extensions

Action Developers get more control over the configuration experience for their actions in Flow Builder

Customer Need

When Invocable Apex Actions have a large number of inputs, the default alphabetical sorting into a single flat list of inputs can make configuration confusing and inefficient for Admins, leading to misconfiguration, errors, and time spent troubleshooting

​

Solution / How To Configure

Action Developers can now specify how to present their action's inputs in Flow Builder with the new InvocableActionExtension metadata file. They’ll be able to set the sort order of the inputs, place inputs into groups, and apply conditional visibility.

​

Use Case

Any Apex Action Developer can begin using this with any of their Apex actions that accept multiple inputs to improve the experience of Admins that use their action. Packaging is fully supported.

​

Impact

Improve the usability of Invocable Apex Actions, leading to fewer errors and quicker time-to-value for Admins building Flows

Transaction Control for All

Configure Actions to run in a new transaction in more Flow Types

Customer Need

Actions that make a callout cannot run if the same transaction has previously made a database change, like a Create, Update, or Delete. Actions in Screen Flows have the capability to run in a new transaction, but this option hasn’t been available in non-Screen Flows.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Any Flow Type that supports a Wait element can now be run in a new transaction if it makes a callout and there had been a database change before it ran. Just like with the Transaction Control in Screen Flows, Salesforce will automatically decide if this needs to happen, while giving Admins the ability to optionally always run in a new transaction or always continue in the same transaction.

​

Use Case

If a process needs to update a Contact record then send a callout to an external system, use Transaction Control to put both of those actions into a single Flow instead of needing to carefully orchestrate separate transactions.

​

Impact

Use Actions with Callouts more easily in more circumstances in more Flow Types with fewer errors

Display Text - Paragraph Styles

Use Paragraph Styles to create a visual hierarchy in screens for Readability and Accessibility

​

​

​

Customer Need

Customers need to create content that is both visually structured for easy navigation and semantically marked up for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. A lack of built-in paragraph styling currently makes it difficult to deliver a clear content hierarchy for all users, forcing teams to manually apply complex HTML with variables and text templates.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Users can now apply paragraph styles to text in the Display Text component. To apply a paragraph style within the rich text editor of the Display Text component, place your cursor on a word or select a word or phrase. Then, select the desired style. Choose Heading 1 through Heading 6 for headings, or Normal for paragraph text. The formatted text is visible in a preview on the screen canvas and at runtime.

​

Use Case

Easily apply visual hierarchy to your screens and deliver a specific content experience. By structuring text with headings, you can create a clear outline that is easier for users to read and navigate

​

Solution / How To Configure

You can add or change alternative text by selecting an image in the rich text editor and clicking the Image alt text button. You can also mark an image as decorative, which tells screen readers that the image has no informational value. For static resource images, you can type in the alternative text or mark the image as decorative as you add it to the Display Text component.

​

Use Case

The alt text helps screen readers explain images to users with low vision.

​

Impact

This update enhances accessibility with screen readers and improves search engine optimization for informational images.

​

Solution / How To Configure

To add a static resource image, select the Image button in the rich text editor of the Display Text component and choose "Add Image from Static Resources". When adding the image, you can enter alt text or mark it as a decorative image. You can also add or change alt text for any image already in the rich text editor by selecting the image and clicking the "Image alt text" button

Automated Path Experiments

Automatically choose a winning path based on a performance metric

​

​

Customer Need

Marketers want to test multiple paths, but deciding a winner requires custom reporting, statistical math that is error prone and time-consuming, and manual action. They need a trustworthy, automated way to select the best-performing path without sacrificing control.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Add Path Experiment element, select “automated,” define a performance metric, set the test duration, configure a fallback option, then add and configure paths with content. Activate the flow. Once the system detects a 95% chance that a path will beat all others, it’s declared the winner automatically.

​

Use Case

Create or Update an Individual Record

New Flow Template for Managing CRM Records

Customer Need

For Automation Event Triggered Flows, some Events can be triggered by Individuals who are not already in the system. Before creating a duplicate record you check Prospect, Lead and Contacts to see if this personal already exists and if not then create a new Prospect.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Salesforce now provides a Flow Template that will check across Prospects, Leads and Contacts to see if the Individual that triggered the event is already in CRM and if not it will create a Prospect. Once the new Flow is created by using this Template, you can reference this Flow using the Subflow Action as the first step in your Automation Event Triggered Flow to manage Unknown Individual use cases.

​

Use Case

Someone visits your website for the first time and decides to fill out a Form to request more information. Flow will process this request and first check CRM to see if this person is already in the system and if not it will create a new Record. Flow will then use the resulting CRM Record to process the Form Submission.

Enhanced Pricing Performance on Large Transactions

Customer Need

After a full pricing call, runtime users (like Sales Reps) may make changes to a subset of line items requiring only those to be priced (delta pricing). This can lead to performance benefits especially if number of transaction line items is high.

​

Solution / How To Configure

  • In Setup → Revenue Cloud Revenue Settings page, enable “Delta Pricing for Quotes and Orders”.
  • This will enable Transaction system to differentiate the line items that got changed for subsequent pricing calls. This information is passed to pricing and used to price only the modified line items.

​

Use Case

Sales rep prices a transaction. Sales rep makes changes to subset of line items and makes a call to pricing to price only the modified line items. Kindly note that it does not apply to pricing features that anyways require processing multiple quote lines (i.e. Aggregate calculation across lines, Transaction header discount spread to all transaction line items).

​

Impact

Enhanced performance for larger transactions

Salesforce DocGen using Context Services

Alternative to Omnistudio Data Mappers

Customer Need

Entire RevCloud uses Context services for data hydration, data sharing and data persistence. Document Generation so far depends on omni data mappers for mapping of Salesforce object data. There is a need for customers to use one single approach to handle data aspects. Hence, DocGen to support Context Services as an alternative to Omni Data Mappers.

​

Solution / How To Configure

RevCloud customers could configure either omni data mappers (omni licenses are already part of RCA/RCB) or Context services (no additional licenses) for mapping purposes. The Context services configuration for DocGen are same as they are used in other RevCloud configurations. Salesforce Document Generation Template Designer (Core DocGen template) has additional provision to choose either omni data mappers or context services mapping and continue to generate documents through the existing mechanisms.

​

Use Case

Document Generation with context services could potentially be substituted for all Omni based Document Generation.

​

Impact

No additional need to learn new tool Omni for data mapping purposes. In addition, the scale limitations of Omni could be overcome on certain cases through context services

Note: Context Services can be used only in Salesforce Document Generation Template Designer (Core DocGen designer) and NOT in DocGen Designer available part of Omnistudio package. The DocGen license remains same and it is part of RCA/RCB

Agentforce Connections Improvements

Deliver rich appointment experiences with an Agentforce Agent

Customer Need

​

Solution / How To Configure

Agentforce Connections delivers rich, interactive messaging directly in Agentforce—no admin setup required. Agent replies now render native scheduling components (Time Selector on Apple, List Selector on WhatsApp, Buttons on MIAW, etc.). Rich Choices also support secondary and tertiary subtitles on compatible channels for more detailed options.

​

Use Case

A retail brand boosts engagement using Agentforce Connections within Agentforce conversations. Apple Time Selector delivers a rich user experience allowing customers to pick an available time slot for an in-store design consultation.

​

Impact

Increase in engagement by replacing static text with interactive messaging. It reduces agent workload through automation, and ensures a consistent, visually engaging experience across all digital touchpoints, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Synchronous Conversation

Support for a session-based (synchronous) chat experience

Customer Need

While asynchronous conversation experience has proved to bring much greater value in today’s customer support, we have seen multiple customers who have conveyed that synchronous (session based) chats make more sense for their use case given how they approach delivering the customer support and optimizing their contact centre metrics.

​

Solution / How To Configure

We expose a button in the conversation option menu, which the customer can choose to disable via UI configuration.

​

Use Case

For a guest (unauthenticated) user scenario, when either of the agent or the end user end the chat it also ends the conversation. So ending a messaging session also ends the conversation and a new messaging session creates a new conversation every time - with no chat history history persisting across chats.

​

Impact

This is one of the important parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent with multiple customers demanding session-based chats supporting a synchronous chat experience as they plan their transition to MIAW.

​

Queue Position

Provide a way for end users to view the queue position as they wait for the chat to be assigned and accepted by an agent

Customer Need

Given the impending EOL for legacy chat, what forms the table-stakes from existing LA customers is to be able to use the same Live Agent features as they transition over to MIAW. One of the key areas customers expect to be addressed is the end user experience when a chat has been initiated and the user is waiting for an agent to accept the chat so as to minimize the abandonment during this phase.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Admins can enable Displaying Queue position in the channel settings for a MIAW channel.

​

Use Case

End user initiates a chat by clicking on the chat button/ submitting the pre-chat form (or during chat transfer) and as he waits for an agent to accept the chat he can see his queue position in the chat window which keeps him engaged.

​

Impact

This is one of more important parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent and addresses the concern of multiple customers.

​

Additional File Type Support

Added support for additional file types including audio and video.

Customer Need

Customer service teams need to handle complex, multi-modal issues efficiently. Agents require the ability to receive and review video and audio files directly within the chat interface to gain immediate context and provide more accurate, faster support.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Configurable in setup.

​

Use Case

A customer is experiencing a technical issue with a physical product, such as a flickering screen on a device. They initiate a chat with a support agent. Instead of trying to describe the problem with text, the customer uses the integrated chat feature to record a short video of the flickering screen and sends it directly to the agent. The agent can immediately see the exact issue, identify the problem, and provide a solution

​

Impact

Supporting video and audio file types within the chat SDK has a transformative impact on customer support leading to higher adoption.

Chat Invitations for MIAW web

Invite users to chat by invoking chat invitation on predefined events

Customer Need

Customers looking for parity features with Live Agent have asked for Chat Invitations where they want to invite customers to initiate chats with agents on meeting certain criterion as they browse the website like seconds spent on web page/ website, landing on specific page URLs etc or a combination of those.

​

Solution / How To Configure

From the embedded deployment settings, enable Invitations and configure the invitation settings by clicking on the ‘Chat Invitations’ feature card

​

Use Case

An end user after spending ‘x’ secs on a website lands on the website.com/support page; on doing so he sees a chat invitation bubble (in the page) with a invitation Message. On clicking, it opens the chat window and initiates a chat.

​

Impact

This is the last of all major parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent for web and addresses the concern of multiple customers who want proactive chat capabilities.

Chat Buttons Visibility Control

Hide/ display chat buttons depending on agent availability

Customer Need

Multiple customers have requested support for synchronous chat experience at par with Live Agent where they don’t want chats to be initiated from a web page/ app when there are no agents available. They would rather prefer the chat button to be hidden when there is no agent availability since it would lead to setting wrong expectations with end users who might end up with poor experience.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Provide a channel level setting which when enabled would hide the chat button when there is no agent availability. Agent availability criterion (max queue limit) is to be specified while enabling the setting.

​

Use Case

On web page load, the end user does not see the chat button since the agents in the assigned queue are not available to accept the chat. 30 seconds later, the chat client checks for availability and since agents are available now - the chat button becomes visible.

​

Impact

This is one of the key parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent and addresses the concern of multiple customers regarding support chats to be streamlined for a more synchronous chat experience to better manage their end user expectations and minimize frustration with wait times.

WhatsApp Flows Improvements

Seamless interactions, guided every step of the way

Customer Need

Businesses need an intuitive way to guide customers through structured interactions in WhatsApp, simplifying tasks like booking, data collection, and support—enhancing efficiency and engagement.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Leveraging the existing Form Messaging Component type, admins can now choose to create an Apex based Form component no longer requiring a Global Action. Once they create the WhatsApp Flow format, they will be able to add the content right from within the builder including multiple questions (up to 3) per page.

​

Use Case

A doctor's office can use WhatsApp Flows to streamline pre-check-in by sending patients a guided Flow to complete essential details before their visit. This reduces wait times, minimizes paperwork, and ensures a smoother check-in process—all within the convenience of WhatsApp.

​

Triggered Outbound on Enhanced Facebook

Automate outbound updates and alerts on Enhanced Facebook

Customer Need

Previously, customers on Enhanced Facebook Messenger could not send automated, triggered outbound messages. This feature parity gap meant that critical, proactive communications like shipping updates or appointment reminders had to be sent manually or not at all, leading to service gaps and a disconnected customer journey.

​

Solution / How To Configure

This enhancement closes the feature gap, allowing you to send triggered outbound messages on Enhanced Facebook.

First, create a Notification message component with a Media Format that is supported by Facebook. Once the Notification component is active, it can be referenced in the Send Conversation Message flow action to trigger the outbound message automatically.�

Use Case

A retail company wants to proactively inform a customer that their order has shipped.

​

Impact

By enabling automated outbound messaging, businesses can improve agent efficiency by eliminating the need to manually send routine updates. This allows agents to focus on more complex conversations. Furthermore, it improves overall customer satisfaction by delivering timely, proactive information directly within the messaging thread.

Troubleshoot Faster with the

Enhanced Messaging Log

Get actionable insights into your outbound messaging traffic

Customer Need

Administrators lacked a self-service way to diagnose why outbound messages failed on Enhanced Channels. This led to lengthy troubleshooting and uncertainty, unlike the visibility available for standard channels.

​

Solution / How To Configure

A new Enhanced Messaging Log is now available in Setup. It lists all triggered outbound messages, allowing admins to drill into specific failures to see the root cause (e.g., an unapproved WhatsApp template)

​

Use Case

An admin sees appointment reminders are failing on WhatsApp. They can now go directly to the Enhanced Messaging Log, identify the specific error (e.g., "ApprovedExternalTemplateRequired"), and take immediate action to resolve the issue.

​

Impact

This log provides actionable insights that dramatically decrease troubleshooting time. By quickly resolving errors, admins improve the reliability of automated communications and ensure a more consistent customer experience.

Streamlined Setup for 3rd Party Messaging

Introducing auto-responses, inactivity timer, and a unified channel setup experience.

​

Customer Need

Admins faced several challenges when configuring 3rd party channels. Key automation features like inactivity timers and auto-response components were unavailable, requiring manual agent work. The setup process itself was also disjointed with inconsistent UIs (a modal vs. a record page).

​

Solution / How To Configure

Admins can now configure an inactivity timer to mark sessions inactive and use messaging components for automated replies on 3rd party channels. To further improve workflow, admins can directly navigate to the correct Omni-Channel Flow from the setup page via a new hyperlink.

​

Use Case

An admin setting up a WhatsApp channel can now set an inactivity timer so agents don't have to manually update the session. They select a pre-built component for auto-responses instead of typing free-form text. They can also save time by clicking a hyperlinked flow name to navigate directly to it.

Core as Source of Truth for Enhanced SMS

Streamline SMS number provisioning, activation and management via a self service experience

Customer Need

Today, when provisioning SMS channels, customers need to submit support cases for provisioning, activating and deactivating SMS channels. Furthermore, there is also no way to manage Sandbox to Production (and vice-a-versa) number movement.

​

Solution / How To Configure

SMS procurement is now supported only on production orgs. Go to setup, procure SMS number via the self service UI, provision and activate a SMS channel and seamlessly migrate the channel to your Sandbox org for testing. A SMS channel can be active only in 1 org at a time. Supported for US and Canada numbers only.

​

Use Case

An admin user now requests brand/ campaigns, requests 10DLC and Toll free numbers; tracks the code status and once approved provisions and activates them as channels - from within setup itself. The Admin then migrates the channel to a Sandbox org for testing, completes testing and migrates the channel back to production - all without requiring to submit a support case. �

Queue Position

Show customers position of queue on Enhanced Chat!

Customer Need

Parity gap between Live Agent Chat and the enhanced Messaging for In-App or Web products, where customers can see their queue position. Customer experience preference, particularly for small teams or companies where the queue size isn’t large, shows progress better than estimated wait time.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Omni publishes an event whenever the queue position of a work item changes, which is consumed by client teams (in this case, Messaging).

​

Use Case

Companies that rather show number in queue vs EWT.

​

Impact

Helps drive adoption of Enhanced Chat, away from Live Agent. Better end user experience in certain situations, especially with highly variable wait times or small backlogs.

​

Solution

The API call will return key details like queue size and number of agents online for specific queues.

​

Impact

Ensures Messaging customers can deliver a true live chat experience to their end users, by only showing the chat button when agents are actually available. Customers can proactively manage their chat availability, which ensures their end-users have a clear, positive experience (e.g., immediate connection or appropriate offline options)

Semi Join & Anti Join UX

Enable intuitive, code-free data filtering in the Explorer UI

Customer Need

Analysts and admins often need to filter data based on whether related records exist (or don’t). Until now, this was only possible via SAQL or SQL code. There was no way to do this via clicks in the UI, creating a barrier for non-technical users.

​

Solution / How To Configure

You can now add semi-joins and anti-joins through the Join Data Source flow in the lens builder. Simply pick your datasets, select the join type (semi or anti), and map up to 5 fields between them. The join is displayed visually and can be edited or removed easily from the panel.

​

Use Case

A CRMA admin or business user wants to:

  • Find accounts with no opportunities (anti-join);
  • Show only accounts with opportunities above 10K (semi-join);
  • Filter dashboards based on related data existence, without writing SAQL.

​

Impact

This feature removes the need for SAQL or bindings in common filtering scenarios, making it easier for non-technical users to work with data. It improves performance by retrieving only relevant rows and aligns with our “Clicks, not Code” vision to drive broader adoption.

Search by API Name

Faster field discovery for advanced users

Customer Need

In complex datasets, many technical users know field API names (e.g., opp_stage) but struggle to locate them through labels like “Stage” in search. CRM Analytics now supports searching by API names across field pickers—making it faster and easier to find the exact field, especially in datasets with overlapping or confusing labels.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Search for fields, measures, or dimensions using their API names wherever field selection is supported. Where this works:

  • Fields panel in Lens
  • Connect Data Sources modal
  • Field Picker
  • Filters section inside Lens Explore

Just type the API name (e.g., CloseDate) into the search bar, results will now include matches by both label and API name.

​

Use Case

A dashboard builder knows the API name but not the exact label for a field—they can now directly search and select it during lens or widget creation without toggling views or hunting through metadata.

​

Impact

Saves time for technical or advanced users.

B2C Commerce Intelligence Connector

Use Commerce Intelligence Connector to ingest robust B2C data into Data Cloud

Customer Need

The need for the Intelligence connector arises from a limitation of the existing B2C connector, which only ingests 30 days of historical order data and accumulates data incrementally thereafter. By addressing this gap, the ingress connector provides customers with a robust solution for managing historical data.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Use the Salesforce B2C Commerce Intelligence connector to ingest data into Data Cloud from the Salesforce B2C Commerce Data Lakehouse.

​

Use Case

The connector enables deeper insights by unlocking access to extended historical order data, empowering businesses to make data-driven decisions. This capability facilitates better customer segmentation and targeting, ultimately driving revenue growth.

​

Impact

Order Management

347 of 846

Cancel All

Users can quickly cancel all items in an order

Customer Need

Customers currently have to cancel orders with up to 100 product lines at a time. For large orders with up to 2000 product lines, this requires 20 different transactions to cancel all the lines, which is a significant challenge that is time consuming and error prone.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The solution is a new asynchronous flow that allows an agent to cancel all eligible items on an order summary. The user selects an order summary, initiates the "Cancel All" flow, and selects the reason code, and they submits the cancellation. This process will lock the order summary and present a banner notifying the agent that the record is locked until the cancellation process is completed.

​

Use Case

A user would select a customer's order summary with hundreds of product lines, click the "Cancel All" button, provide a reason for the cancellation, and submit the request, all within a few clicks. The system then processes the cancellation for all eligible items, freeing the agent from having to cancel items in multiple batches

​

Impact

Reduces service agent's time to service

Reason Code Categorization

Users can select the right reason code quickly and accurately, every time

Customer Need

A streamlined way to manage and select context-specific reason codes, as the current single, long picklist leads to agent inefficiency and inaccurate data. This new capability will directly address a long-standing customer request for a more intuitive and reliable reason code system.

​

Solution / How To Configure

A user, typically an OM Manager, will perform two key setup steps. First, they categorize reason codes at the entity level by assigning them to flow-specific groups. Second, they configure the flow logic to display only the relevant, pre-filtered reason codes to agents.

​

Use Case

An OM Manager would assign the reason code "Damaged" to the "Return" and "Exchange" categories. Then, when an agent processes a return, they will only see "Damaged" and other return-specific reasons in the picklist, rather than the full list.

​

Impact

Improve agent productivity

Data Cloud 1 Enablement

Provide maximum flexibility for sharing data across orgs

Customer Need

Customers need a simplified and efficient way to deploy and manage their Order Management and Omnichannel Inventory data within Data Cloud 1. Their pain points include cumbersome, manual deployment processes and a lack of flexibility in sharing data across different Salesforce orgs, which hinders their ability to gain holistic business insights.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The solution is configured by using the new file-based datakits for the OMS and OCI bundles, which are pre-shipped on core, eliminating package-based deployment. For the "Return Order Insight" feature, a user selects a dataspace from a new dropdown menu in the existing UI to specify the data for analysis.

​

Use Case

An administrator setting up a new org would use the file-based datakits to quickly deploy OMS and OCI bundles to Data Cloud 1, and then an analyst could use the modified "Return Order Insight" feature to run a return rate analysis on a specific dataspace containing that new data.

​

Impact

Streamlined OMS data flow and enhanced insights.

OCI App User Permission

New user permissions allow granular access for users

Customer Need

Merchants need the ability to grant “view only” access to support staff and merchandisers to help support shopper interactions/experience. Currently all OCI users have access to all OCI functionality.

​

Solution / How To Configure

5 new permission sets have been added so that specific access can be given to users.

  • Omnichannel Inventory Manager - all access
  • Omnichannel Inventory Merchandiser - limited access
  • Omnichannel Inventory Retail Manager - read only access

​

Use Case

Support staff can view inventory availability and answer customer questions without the ability to edit inventory values.

​

Impact

Resolves risk taken by some current customers who have knowingly granted support staff unneeded access in order to open up the service use case in the past.

Tax/Product Only Adjustments

Apply tax and pricing changes to an order post-Order Summary creation

​

Customer Need

A merchant needs the ability to add or remove tax from a product line after an order has been placed. Currently they can only adjust the price of the item and that adjustment also affects the tax.

​

Solution / How To Configure

  • A new Adjustment Type of TaxOnly has been added to the Adjustment API allowing a +/- adjustment to tax.
  • Product price can also have a +/- adjustment

​

Use Case

SI’s or Admin (using the API) can create a custom solution that will allow the removal of tax on items that are supposed to be tax exempt.

Customers can adjust taxes on an order summary when tax goes from estimated to final during fulfillment

​

Impact

Merchants are able to make adjustment to the tax on an item. This has been a request from SI’s for many releases.

Unreferenced Refunds/Payment Credits

Ability to refund money to a payment instrument not present in original txn

Customer Need

Customers want flexibility for returning money to an end user - sometimes to a payment instrument not used in the original transaction. Currently our customers need to implement expensive customizations in order to achieve this use case

​

Solution / How To Configure

Return flow api’s and LWC’s have been modified to provide the service agent the choice to return money to the original payment instrument or select “payment credit”. The payment credit can then be used to fund a store credit or gift card (this last step would be custom integration with what merchants credit/gift card provider)

​

Use Case

  • Merchant has a policy that returns to credit card must be made within 30 days of original purchase, but will provide store credit after 30 days
  • Merchant has a policy that final sale items will only receive store credit if returned�

Impact

Contribute to operational excellence by providing flexibility in the returns processes, and enhancing customer service experience

Delivery Estimation

Provide reliable and accurate delivery estimations on your storefront

Customer Need

The initial offering of the Delivery Estimation service provided basic capabilities such as configuring static processing time, transit time, and fulfillment location hours. However, customers needed more robust and accurate delivery estimations that factored in real-time inventory, routing rules, precise transit times from carriers, and the ability to configure operations and processing times at the fulfillment location level.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The delivery estimation service is now a dynamic, intelligent service that is based on real-time inventory levels, chooses the fulfillment location that item(s) are most likely to fulfill from, and includes transit times that are retrieved directly from select carriers (UPS, FedEx, and USPS). Additionally, inputs such as processing times, cut-off times, and operational hours can be set at the location level.

​

Use Case

When a delivery estimation is provided on the PDP page or checkout, the estimation has now factored in the inventory levels, fulfillment location, carrier transit times, and fulfillment location operation hours/levels to display the most accurate time to the customer.

​

Impact

The enhanced delivery estimation service now provides a trustworthy and precise estimation, enhancing the shopper experience, boosting conversion and improving overall customer satisfaction.

Partial SKU Search

Connecting buyers to products, regardless of format

Customer Need

Buyers often know only a part of a product's SKU and are frustrated by errors from minor formatting differences. They need a faster, more flexible way to find exact items without hitting a "No Results Found" dead end.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Navigate to Search > Searchable Attributes. Ensure the attribute containing the SKU or Product Code is marked as searchable fields. User Search→ Additional Settings→ Enable ‘Partial SKU Search’ toggle. Rebuild the search index for the changes to take effect across the webstore.

​

​

Impact

Optimal Experience for Last page Search Results

Enhancing user navigation and reducing friction for large search sets.

Customer Need

When shoppers perform broad searches that return thousands of results, they face frustrating experience. They need a intuitive way to navigate through many pages of products overwhelmed by unhelpful navigation options like a "jump to last page" link.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Select the Results Component on a search results page and navigate through its properties: Settings --> Results Display --> Result Navigation. From there, you select the “Pagination Only” option to implement the optimized sequential Browse.

​

Use Case

A shopper searches for a broad category like "snacks" on a large grocery site. As they browse deep into the results , clicking to the next page is nearly instant because the system has already pre-fetched and cached it in the background. The user sees a clear sequence of pages and doesn’t encounter dead results pages.

​

Impact

Improves the user experience by making navigation faster and smoother for large search sets.

Search Indexing in Store Default Language

Enhancing search relevance for international customers

Customer Need

Businesses serving international markets need to provide relevant search results to all shoppers, regardless of language. They face either the high cost of translating all product data or the risk of delivering a poor, "no results found" experience.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The product data information will be automatically indexed if its in a localized language. Data Translations should still be enabled so the Japanese analyzer is used in Discovery. If data translation is not enabled, the products may still be searchable with the master record details, but Discovery will be using a standard analyzer.

​

Use Case

A customer in Japan is shopping on the Japanese webstore, they search for "タンパク質" (protein) the correct protein bar appears in the results.�

Impact

Reduces operational costs for the business by eliminating the need for exhaustive translations.

Subscriptions - ARC APIs Support

API support to perform amendments/renewals for active subscriptions

​

Customer Need

Subscription users lack flexibility to manage subscriptions: amend quantities, renew early, or cancel on preferred dates.

Loyalty Enhancements for Redemption Flexibility

Point-based redemption and using rewards as a tender

Customer Need

Merchants require flexibility in how loyalty rewards are applied, specifically the ability to redeem points as a payment method in addition to discounts, as well as increase transparency for customers and associates regarding point redemption.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Customer Need

Customers using SFOM as their order master need to send key order fields from the POS to SFOM for accurate downstream reporting. This includes details like discount codes, promo names, tariff amounts, and customSKUs from Punchout transactions, which are currently not supported out-of-the-box.

​

Solution / How To Configure

New custom field mappings will be created in the CMS under Store Management > Integrations > OMS > SF OM. This will allow the system to map POS data fields for related fields such as Product price adjustment reason, promo name, order tariff amount, custom SKU for Punchouts, to custom fields in SFOM.

​

Use Case

Configurable Multi-Tender Display

Enabling granular control over multi-tender options in the UI

Customer Need

Merchants require the flexibility to support specific tender types for backend processes (e.g., Pay-by-Link via deeplink) while preventing them from appearing in the user-facing Multi-Tender screen at the POS.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The CMS will introduce new functionality to manage the tender display order, including a "Delete" function to remove a tender from the Multi-Tender screen. A backend restructure will decouple tender support from the Multi-Tender display configuration, ensuring tenders remain functional even when hidden from the UI

​

Use Case

Form Handlers

Bring your own form, connect the data to Salesforce.

Customer Need

Marketers want the freedom to use their own web forms—whether custom-built or third-party—without sacrificing Salesforce integration. They need a way to capture form submissions directly in Salesforce, apply attribution, and trigger follow-up actions, all without forcing a rebuild in UMA.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Form Handlers provide a secure endpoint that receives data from any external form and maps it to Salesforce objects. Marketers configure the handler in UMA by selecting the target object (e.g., Lead, Campaign Member, or custom), mapping form fields, defining defaults, and setting success/failure URLs. Security controls like honeypots, and domain restrictions ensure submissions are valid.

​

Use Case

At Bakehouse Co., a developer adds a sourdough workshop signup form to the website. Instead of rebuilding it in UMA, they configure a Form Handler that maps fields like Name, Email, and Workshop Date into a custom Salesforce object. Marketing can then use Flows to send reminders, recipe guides, and promotions, while tracking engagement and campaign attribution automatically.

​

Impact

Form Handlers give teams flexibility to maintain their preferred form experience while still ensuring Salesforce captures clean, attributed, and secure data. Marketers save time by reusing existing forms, developers avoid custom integrations, and organizations gain reliable follow-up automation, attribution insights, and bot protection.

Tableau Maps Quick Win: Spatial Polygon buffer

Customer Need

This feature enhances Tableau’s spatial functions and allows customers to perform advanced spatial analysis. The existing Buffer() spatial function now supports a new input: Spatial Polygon (and multi-polygon), in addition to the PolyLines and Points.

​

Solution / How To Configure

The syntax of writing a Buffer() calc for polygon is very similar to that for a line or point with an even more flexible support: you can use inset, meaning you can also provide a negative value to the buffer value.

​

Impact

Our customers increasingly reach for geospatial analysis to better understand their customers and their business. This feature enhances Tableau’s spatial parameters capabilities, bringing the complete Tableau analytical experience to geospatial data and provides customers with more control in handling this type of data.

SAML Configuration REST APIs

Configure SAML and rotate certificates programmatically

Customer Need

Configuring SAML was both manual and unscalable as it had to be done through the UI. It also required ongoing operational work when rotating certificates which could be error prone.�

Solution / How To Configure

Cloud administrators can now use the SAML APIs to create, update, or delete SAML configurations either in Tableau Cloud Manager or a Tableau Cloud site.

​

Use Case

Cloud administrators can use these APIs to programmatically configure SAML which can especially save time when configuring SAML across multiple sites. Moreover, admins can now create a script to automatically rotate the Identity Provider (IdP) certificate in Tableau Cloud so that they do not miss updating the certificate before it expires.

​

Impact

Customers can achieve greater efficiency and scalability as there is no manual certificate updates and SAML configuration can be streamlined across multiple sites.

Tableau Cloud

User Attribute Function for SAML and OIDC

Attributes passed over SAML and OIDC login can be used for row level security

Customer Need

While administrators were able to use generic attributes for row level security for Connected Apps based logins, they were not able to for SAML or OIDC based logins which the majority of Tableau Cloud users sign in with.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Site administrators can now configure user attributes to be dynamically captured during login and create a calculation with an attribute/value key pair for row level security (RLS).

​

Use Case

The customers’ Identity Provider (IdP) is the source of truth of users and their attributes. As such, administrators can enable attribute based access control (ABAC) through the User Attribute Function (UAF) feature to dynamically pass attributes from the IdP via the SAML or OIDC authentication token. These attribute/value key pairs are available for the duration of a user’s session to be used for RLS. This ensures users can see the right data they should have access to.

​

Impact

Administrators have more flexibility to secure the data that end users should have access to through the use of dynamic user attributes passed by their identity provider during user login.

Tableau Cloud

542 of 846

SCIM Support on Tableau Server

Automated user and group provisioning on Tableau Server

Customer Need

Modern enterprises need the flexibility to provision users and groups to Tableau using their Identity Provider (IdP) as the source of truth. However, we did not support the industry standard SCIM protocol on Tableau Server.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Server administrators can now enable SCIM on each of their sites so that users and groups can be provisioned through their identity provider.

​

Use Case

A customer uses their IdP (e.g. Okta) as the source of truth of the user and groups. They manage all of the user and group lifecycle processes like provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning from the IdP so that they do not need to manually manage the users and groups separately in Tableau or write an API script to automate the lifecycle. SCIM is designed to simply this process for admins.

​

Impact

Customers gain efficiency and remain standards compliant by using SCIM. They can also maintain a source of truth of users and groups in their IdP to avoid having to manage groups in all of their downstream applications like Tableau Server.

Tableau Server

OpenID Connect RP-initiated single logout

Logout of your IdP when logging out of Tableau Server

Customer Need

When a user logs out of their resource provider (i.e. Tableau Server), Tableau should also log them out of their Identity Provider (IdP) as well to maintain a secure experience for a user across their application(s).

​

Solution / How To Configure

When configuring OpenID Connect, the admin would be able to optionally configure single logout (SLO). As a Relying Party (RP), Tableau would send a logout request to the Identity Provider (IdP), which would then log the user out of both the IdP and any other associated applications accessed during the same session.

Use Case

A customer uses a central IdP (e.g. Okta) to sign into Tableau Server and other applications. When they sign out of Tableau Server, they would like the user to get logged out of their IdP and associated applications. This maintains a secure experience and prevents the user from having to go to the IdP and dependent applications to sign out as well. This also prevents them from automatically getting logged back into Tableau Server.

​

Impact

This improves security as this eliminates the risk of orphaned sessions and session hijacking. This also provides a better end user experience since logging out once logs them out of the IdP and associated applications.

Tableau Server

Tableau Cloud Unified Access Token

Centralized API Authentication

​

Customer Need

Customers need a unified way to automate Tableau Cloud site management. The current authentication method relies on Personal Access Tokens (PATs), which are difficult to manage, lack auto-rotation, and have enforced expirations, creating significant barriers to robust, end-to-end automation.

​

Solution / How To Configure

An administrator sets up the Unified JWT solution by creating a trust relationship in Tableau Cloud Manager (TCM) that links to their own identity provider. This allows their internal applications to sign a JWT, which Tableau Cloud will then trust for authentication.

​

Use Case

A large company uses dozens of separate Tableau Cloud sites for different departments. A Tableau Administrator needs to ensure that a specific user group, called "Auditors," exists on every single site with the correct permissions. Performing this task manually across all sites is repetitive and time-consuming.

​

Impact

Modern, secure authentication method that unifies access across their entire Tableau Cloud environment, solving critical multi-site management challenges for enterprise applications

Tableau Mobile (excluding Pulse)

546 of 846

OAuth Authentication to SnowFlake

Built-in Tableau Mobile

Customer Need

Customers are hesitant to promote Tableau Mobile to their users—primarily managers and executives—due to a cumbersome and fragmented sign-in process. Requiring users to authenticate via browser, connect to the view, complete OAuth authorization, and then return to the Tableau Mobile app significantly disrupts the user experience and creates friction that hinders broader adoption.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Snowflake authentication directly within the app. This feature will eliminate the need for external browser-based OAuth flows by integrating native Snowflake SSO, allowing managers and executives to access data with fewer steps and reduced friction.

​

Use Case

By enabling seamless Snowflake authentication within Tableau Mobile, users can authenticate natively without leaving the app. This streamlined experience reduces confusion, improves adoption, and ensures timely access to insights for decision-makers on the go

​

Impact

Increased mobile adoption, reduced sign-in friction, faster access to insights.

Public’s Author Channels

Customer Need

Authors are an important part of the Public flywheel as they generate the content consumed by our Viewers. With Public being the heart of the community, there is a need to highlight these authors and make them more prominent. Though the Featured Authored tile aims at accomplishing that, it’s positioning on the Discover page and its limitation to spotlighting only one author at a time makes it impossible for the authors to be felt.

Our initial milestone was adding an Author Preview Card to individual vizzes and this works builds on to that.

​

Use Case

  • Ability to add one or more author channels on the Discover page, ensuring that different faces are spotlighted and the content remains fresh.
  • Ability to promote specific channels higher on the Discover page for specific campaigns or seasons, eg Iron Viz Finalists right before Tableau Conference.

​

Impact

We will ensure that the Community aspect of Public shines through to both the existing and guest users. This will drive our engagement and retention metrics, which are captured as part of our V2MOM goals.

Authentication Mode Change API

Programmatically change the data authentication mode in published content

Customer Need

Changing the data connection authentication mode (e.g. from username & password to OAuth) in published workbooks and data sources requires manual steps to download the content, edit the data source connection(s), and republish. These manual steps are tedious, and borderline impossible, at scale.

Customer Need

Customers need robust, flexible ways to create and manage product orders, especially for complex or high-volume scenarios, avoiding timeouts with large payloads.

​

Solution / How To Configure

New APIs offer scalable order creation. POST API creates base orders; PATCH API updates large, complex draft orders incrementally, managing payload size and preventing timeouts.

Role-Based Access Control for ESM features

Configure role-specific permissions to optimize enterprise quoting workflows and user efficiency

Customer Need

Sales Managers require granular control over user permissions to match the unique responsibilities of their team members. They need a way to assign specific features rights to view, edit, or delete data within the ESM application. This will prevent unauthorized actions and streamline the interface for each team member by disabling features not pertinent to their role.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Configuration begins by enabling an org-level flag to activate the permissions system within the ESM app. Once enabled, admins need to create custom permission sets, each defining required feature access rights. These sets should be then assigned to user profiles to tailor each user's access.

Note: This control is only for UI elements and does not consider API permissions

​

Use Case

Sales Manager needs to provide controlled access to the entire team while a Sales Representative need to only see and modify their own assigned actions/features. For example, the admins creates a custom permission "Manage Discounts" with access to create and apply discounts in ESM which is assigned to right sales group.

Clone with Defaults

Adds a new, unconfigured copy of a product to the working cart

Customer Need

Sales representatives need an efficient way to add multiple, uniquely configured instances of the same product in the working cart. The standard clone action duplicates an item with all its existing configurations, which is time-consuming to reverse manually. An action to add a fresh, default version of the product would allow them to start a new configuration instantly.

​

Solution / How To Configure

This functionality is available out-of-the-box. In the working cart, the action menu for a product will display both "Clone" and "Clone with Defaults" options.

Note: This option only appears if the product's cardinality (the maximum allowed quantity) has not been met.

​

Use Case

A sales representative creating a quote for a customer needs two different mobile phones. After configuring the first phone with 256GB of storage and red colour, he needs another one with 512GB of storage and black colour. Instead of cloning and manually changing all the attributes, he uses "Clone with Defaults" to start with fresh, base-model of the phone which is ready to be configured from the scratch.

Batch Sub-Order Creation

Configure the system to process sub-orders in batches for a significant performance improvement on complex quotes

Customer Need

The traditional method of creating sub-orders ‘one at a time’ is a slower process that may cause delays to the entire order finalization process typically for complex, high-volume quotes. Users require an efficient, automated solution that can process these sub-orders in bulk so that the large deals can be finalized faster.

​

Solution / How To Configure

Activate "Enable Batch Creation of Sub-Orders" flag in the CPQ Configuration Setup. This enables the batch processing of all sub-orders asynchronously. Additionally, set the batch size limit “ESMBatchSizeForCreateSubOrders” which determines the number of sub-orders that will be processed together during conversion. The ideal threshold will vary depending on the org’s quote complexity and usage of quote member groups.

​

Use Case

A Sales representative needs to convert a large, time-sensitive enterprise quote with hundreds of line items into a final order. This feature allows them to complete this action faster as compared to the traditional process, triggering the creation of all necessary sub-orders in efficient background batches.

Companies need to publish disclosure reports in compliance with multiple sustainability frameworks that apply to them - this is a cumbersome process that can take several months. They also have multiple locations spread across the globe for which they need to gather data at regular intervals, such as for energy use, which consumes a lot of time and effort. Agents have a strong opportunity to add value in such scenarios.

​

Solution

The Reporting Agent generates responses to disclosure questions by reasoning on uploaded documents as well as Information Library snippets, while the Data Collection agent helps send reminders and follow-ups via email to data custodians.

​

Impact

Shipping Reporting Agent to GA enables customers to save time in completing disclosure reports for production data, and pilot usage of Data Collection agent will create opportunity for customer feedback leading to GA in 260.

Breakdown of child’s allocated emissions by Categories

Customer Need

In case of an organization with several child organizations, in AEI, we show an aggregated value of emissions. Several organizations like Deloitte operate as multiple child entities that roll up to a parent. Such orgs want to see a consolidated breakdown view of the category emissions split by child, and how they roll up to the parent’s AEI.

​

Solution

We created a related entity named Annual Emissions Inventory Extension, that shows the breakdown of allocated emissions from immediate children, in a tabular format similar to AEI.

​

Use Case

When users want to see a breakdown of the allocated emissions, they can navigate to the related entity and see the breakdown for all GHG categories across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.

​

Impact

This was a critical ask from Liva Nova (through Deloitte) as a measure to stem attrition. This will contribute to customer retention as well as allow customers to see their allocated emissions in a single entity.

Negative Distance adjustment for Vehicles

(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)

Customer Need

Today, Vehicle Asset Energy Use does not accept negative numbers on the Distance field. Customers need a solution where negative distance is mostly a correction/adjustment, mostly when their drivers correct for keyed in errors of odometer readings made at the fuel stations.

(We support negative numbers in Fuel Consumption field which accurately rolls up to Carbon Footprint (CF) and Annual Emissions Inventory (AEI))

​

Solution

Post 258, Net Zero Cloud supports negative fleet distance adjustment on the vehicle asset energy use records, and will also calculate negative emissions and roll up accordingly in Carbon Footprint and Annual Emissions Inventory entities.

​

Use Case

Sustainability managers will be able to correct energy use records that cannot be corrected at source.

​

Impact

This change will ensure more accurate carbon accounting for Net Zero Cloud customers, and also ensures greater product parity with the fuel consumption field. Also helps with retention for Novo Nordisk.

Custom Fuel support for Private jet and Waste

(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)

Customer Need

Today for vehicle asset energy use records, if the record type is Private Jet, the only fuel type allowed is Jet Fuel. Custom fuels don't work for private jets. Also customers need flexibility to add more UOMs for generated waste; more specifically, they are looking for cubic meters for solid waste and liters for used waste/oil.

​

Solution

Customers want to use custom fuels for Private jets. They also want to use custom unit of measures for capturing waste disposed.

​

Use Case

Customers can now create custom fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or custom waste units such as cubic meters, to capture consumption or in Vehicle asset energy use or waste in Generated waste respt. and calculate emissions for them.

​

Impact

Companies like Google etc. will be able to load energy uses for private jets that do not use jet fuel but use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). With additional UOMs customer will be able to report their waste generated more easily and accurately.

Scope Allocation on Energy Use

(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)

Customer Need

Today the scope allocation happens at the asset level where all energy uses associated to the asset get the same scope allocation. Customers/partners needed a way to override the scope allocation at the energy use level Eg:: Penske has millions of trucks worldwide which are owned but often leased to customers (Scope 3, cat 13). For the same asset, scope allocation can be different in different situations.

​

Use Case

Customers want to override scope allocation for stationary, vehicle and waste at the energy use or generated waste level.

​

Solution

Carbon Scope Allocation field added to stationary asset energy use, vehicle asset energy use and generated waste records so that customers can override the scope allocation.

​

Impact

Companies will be able to report their stationary and vehicle emissions along with generated waste emissions more accurately by being able to override emissions scope allocation at the energy use level instead of the asset level.
