Emojis ?? and Dreamin' Events ??
Last week I posted about the exciting HTTP Callout flow feature here. This functionality is super cool, but not everybody will need it.
I will discuss something simpler that everybody can use this week: Emojis in Salesforce.???
I learned about all the places I can use emojis when I attended the Florida Dreamin' presentation in 2021 by Jonathan Linn . He delivered a presentation on Lightning configuration and showed that you could paste emojis virtually everywhere that accept text input (string) in Salesforce: Tab labels, quick action button labels, and formulas. I don't think he talked about using emojis in flows, but a lightbulb went off with me when I saw his presentation. ??
Here is a slide from his presentation. It still lives rent-free on Slack. ??
About a week ago, I received a request from Joy Fuller in the Salesforce Break Flow Support Slack Workspace:
"I would like to display a red arrow when a field value is decreased and a green arrow if it is increased. I tried using images in formula fields, but I'm trying to avoid creating two new separate fields. Is there a more efficient way to do this?"
Leveraging the video screen-share capabilities of Slack, I recorded a video response. ??
I share a lot of content. It is impossible to tell what will go viral. It almost feels like spontaneous, simple content wins over polished and planned content.???

The moral of the story is: Go to Dreamin' events, folks. You will learn practical tips that you can easily implement to make your users' lives easier. ??

However, it solves a significant and specific problem: Scheduling Appointments. Watch this Scheduler demo with Chatbot from Svet Voloshin, CTA and learn what the product can do.
I am starting another Cohort of the Complete Flow Course on June 20th, 2023. It is a bootcamp-style live course. The course costs $480 for 18 hours of live content for a limited time. So hurry up and take your place before the class fills up.?Find more information, ask questions, and register for the course here.

1 年My experience is that emojis don’t have correct spacing built in, resulting in them getting the right side cut off. I advise adding an extra space after.

1 年Neat, Andy! I'm a big fan of emojis, they can be so fun and useful. That being said, I think it's good to keep in mind that some of our users may be using screen readers. I wouldn't suggest to never use them, but to be judicious in their use, if possible. This is why you won't see me sharing my wordle on that silly bird app (unless I've used alt text, which I try hard to do with every image I share). Imagine using a screen reader and hearing what is it, 25 boxes, as the description for those? Would drive me a little bit nutty. Here's a little article on emoji use. https://abilitynet.org.uk/news-blogs/four-ways-make-emojis-accessible (TLDR: The key takeaway for accessible emojis use is to use them sparingly and never in place of a word.) I like emojis, but I like #a11y more. Cheers!

1 年And emojis in SFDC transfer to sandboxes! I have a formula that displays green/yellow/red emojis based on a value and it always works right off the bat in sandboxes. No broken image icons!
