Soapbox Engage Blog

Since our last gathering, I've become wiser (aged), learned new grilling techniques (stop peeking and leave the lid closed), and saw a video that pretty much made my Salesforce week (Lightning is getting another makeover...see below). So, I'm calling that a pretty productive week.

For my readers in the US who were on vacation, welcome back to a full work week. Let's get you back into the swing of things with a review of everything you missed while you were out. For all the rest of you, shhh, don't tell those vacationers about the fun Slip 'N Slide and BBQ party we all had in the PUB.

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!

   Terry said it better than I could after watching this video: "You can only effectively hit the like button once, but I did it 7 times just to feel better." Stop what you're doing, watch this Lightning UX video, and give feedback.

2. Why #GivingTuesday 2017 is the Year for Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
   Tim Forbes (Soapbox Engage)

   Doing everything by yourself on Giving Tuesday is like going fishing with just one fishing pole. Sorry, I just saw someone fishing with five poles at once this weekend, and can't shake it. Anyway, learn how engaging your community to fundraise for you could significantly impact your Giving Tuesday success.

3. NPSP - Soft Credits: Roll-up against Contact, but exclude from Opportunities Related List?
   Michael Beaty (Traction on Demand)

   Since the Contact Role doesn't show on the Opportunity Related List the same way it does for the Contact Related List on the Opportunity, things can get visually confusing. What can we do about that?

4. App Comparison: Document Merge Tools
   Katie McFadden (Swift River Consulting)

   If you're looking for a compiled list of apps that will help merge documentation, look no further. The community has come through again, providing a fantastic guide to compare your options.
