What's coming: Spring 20

Updated: Jun 26, 2020

As you guys probably know, Salesforce is rolling out Spring 20 very soon and as with every release, tons of new features will become available.

Here's a quick overview of what's coming in Sales Cloud!


For Users:


Better list email filtering:

We can now use filters on account fields in the List Emails.

Learn more about in the release notes.


Clone with related:

With this feature, we can really easily clone an opportunity and it's related Opportunity Products/Contact Roles but also Campaign and all related members.

Learn more in the release notes.


 

For Admins:


In-App Guidance improvements:

You can now filter your prompts by profile, add some videos, translate your label and you have even more flexibility to decide when your users will see the prompts.

Learn more in the release notes.


Opportunity Contact roles automation:

Introduced a while ago, made more flexible in Winter 20, it is now possible to use Process Builder, Flows and even workflow rules to create automation around your Opportunity Contact Roles.

Learn more in the release notes.


Better Flow:

As always, flows are getting a lot of improvements this release:

- Introducing Before-Save updates. It works almost like a Process Builder, but it's 10 times faster. Learn more here.

- Create records elements will now create implicit variables. Learn more here.

- Run flow as System is now possible and will ignore object permissions, field-level access or other permissions from the running user, which is an awesome way to update related objects without giving unnecessary permission to your users. Learn more here.

- Keyboard shortcuts are now available. Learn more here.

- Duplicate records no longer count on the duplicate updates limit. Learn more here.


Permission Sets groups:

We can now put Permission Sets together in logical groups and assign groups to users.

Learn more in the release notes.


Data Mask:

Salesforce Data Mask is a managed package you can install in your Production org that you can then use to protect/mask sensitive data in your Sandbox to keep the information secure.

Learn more in the release notes.


 

For Devs:


Invocable Apex is better than ever

- We can now create categories for our Invocable, making it easier to find for admins in the flow builder. Learn more here.

- Invocable can now be generics, supporting a List<SObjects> as a parameter. Learn more here.


Lightning Web Component:

Here's a few more improvements on the LWC:

- The source tracking is now smarter, tracking listing changes and alerting you of conflicts. Learn more here.

- Lightning base components are now open source. Learn more here.

- Navigate users to a record create page with default field values. Learn more here.


Lightning Web Component Local Development:

It's now available in Beta! We can now develop LWC without pushing to the org to preview the changes.

Learn more in the release notes.


Validate users permissions in SOQL:

The "With Security_Enforced" attribute is now available. When you add that attribute to your query will throw an exception if the current user doesn't have the required permission to access all the queried field. Learn more about this attribute in the release notes.

You can use that new feature along with the "Security.StripInaccessible" method to effectively prevent users from accessing records/fields they should not have access to. Learn more about this method in the release notes.


More API Calls:

- The API Calls has been increased from 15,000 to 100,000. Learn more in the release notes.

- The maximum daily cap for API Calls is removed. Learn more here.

- Orgs can now temporarily exceed the API Daily limits without being blocked. Learn more here.


 

That's it, folks!

There's a lot more for everyone in that release, but those are what I consider the biggest changes. To learn about all those changes, use the official spring '20 Release Notes website.
