Are you ready for 2023?
Salesforce’s Spring ’23 release is fast approaching, with lots of new features and
improvements coming. Let’s take a closer look at some of these features.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Most organizations may already have adopted MFA, but it’s easy to see that Spring 23 includes automatic enablement of MFA as part of the release.
Salesforce will begin the process of automatically enabling MFA for direct login. This will be phased through 2023, starting with the Spring ’23 release.
If you have not yet started migrating your users and enabling MFA, please do so as soon as possible.
Flow Features/Improvements
No release would be complete without Flow changes and improvements.
Flow Builder receives a handy update that further bridges the gap between Flow and Apex. A beta feature has been added to flows that allows users to pull external data into flows via a web service (APIs).
This means you can pull external data without using tools like Apex or Mulesoft. However, you need Salesforce Enterprise, Unlimited, or Developer Edition to take advantage of it.
Additionally, another beta feature included in this release, is the ability for supported components and LWCs to affect other components in the same screen. This means less screens need to be presented to the user.
The Migrate to Flow tool now also supports the ability to migrate existing processes in Process Builder to flows. Since the tool is still a “preview” feature, there are some considerations/limitations regarding the types of workflows/processes that can be migrated using this tool.
You can now pull external data without using tools like Apex or Mulesoft. However, you need Salesforce Enterprise, Unlimited, or Developer Edition to take advantage of it.
Finally, there are many extensions for users who integrate Slack and Salesforce.
Sales Cloud
Collaborative Forecasting and Enterprise Territory Management get handy new additions in the Spring ’23 release.
Start with a simple and powerful way to track forecasts with custom date fields. You are no longer limited to forecasting by standard Salesforce date fields (Completion Date, Product Date, or Planned Date)!
Admins can now also create and/or edit forecast pages just like existing Lightning Flexipages!
Sales Users who have access to import contacts and leads now also gain a guided experience to import new data into your org faster and more accurately.
