How to Utilize Salesforce Labs for Maximum Efficiency

I want to tell you about my experience with Salesforce labs today.

Salesforce Labs: What Is It?

Salesforce Labs is a program that lets salesforce.com coders, professional services staff, and other workers share AppExchange apps they’ve made with the customer group. These applications vary from basic utilities to complete vertical solutions and were inspired by workers’ experience with clients of various sizes and industries. Salesforce Labs applications are free to use, but they are not official Salesforce.com products and should be seen as community initiatives; these apps have not been formally tested or documented.

There are hundreds of Salesforce Labs Apps!

Side note on the AppExchange:

AppExchange is an online market for apps, components, and professional services from Salesforce. If you are a developer or expert for the Lightning Platform, AppExchange is the way for users to find your business solution. It’s like the Apple Store, but for your Salesforce org. It has a lot of great apps that are ready to use right out of the box.

Back to Salesforce Labs, the apps from this program are not only all of the above, but they are also free and open-source.

A boring disclaimer: Salesforce Labs apps are not official salesforce.com goods.

Why do you need Salesforce Labs?

More than 250 solutions from Salesforce Labs are available in the AppExchange. These solutions cover everything from training to tools for managing batch jobs and everything in between.

Based on recent events, I think that the Salesforce Labs are like an extension of market study. It lets Salesforce workers put a minimum viable product (MVP) on the market to see how it works, get feedback earlier, make changes sooner, and gather data that could be added to the products.

1. Pack of Graphics

This app is so easy and adds so much that everyone needs it. Graphics Pack contains hundreds of pictures and icons you can use when building tabs, image formulas, and Visualforce pages.

2. Summary of Multi-Org Security

Look at the protection of all of your Salesforce orgs and take care of it. Multi-Org Security Summary gives you the ability to handle and support security settings across various locations directly on Salesforce.

3. My Salesforce Trust Monitor

The My Salesforce Trust Monitor saves me a lot of time. The process of going to the Salesforce Trust site and looking for your org instance to find out when the next release will hit your org. And that’s not taking into account if you don’t know your org instance! With just one click, this app gets you to the page where you can see all the important information you need.

Dashboard Pack for Sales, Marketing, and Service on the AppExchange
This is the best place to start for a manager who wants to get panels up and running quickly. There are seven pre-built screens for Sales, Marketing, and Support that let you see your whole Salesforce org right away.

4. Permissions Manager

Permission Manager is a manager app that helps in giving rights to multiple areas and profiles at once.

5. Flow Error Handling

Flow Error Handling helps admins quickly see where a flow mistake happened. The template has an example flow that sends information to a subflow, which then sends an email to the administrator and the person who is currently running when a fault happens.

6. Lightning Messaging Utility

Whether you’re a Salesforce Admin or Developer, the way you send messages to your users is key to making a user-friendly app! Lightning Messaging Utility gives you all the tools you need to make sure your messages are always clear and uniform.

7. Components of the Lightning Mockup

This is a set of components that lets you make “digital paper prototypes” to help you and your customers quickly imagine what the Lightning Experience could be like for them. You can find the app here.

8. orgLimits

This useful Lightning component lets you set usage/limits for the whole organization by using System.OrgLimits.getMap(), and a progress bar is shown.Click here to install the org limit App

9. Agile Accelerator

In short, the Agile Accelerator is a part of how Salesforce builds their goods internally. It lets you “build Salesforce” by using Salesforce. What a great way to show your people how to do things the right way!
