Happy Monday, PUB Crawlers!

I had amazing time last week at NPSP Day Chicago with several of you! More to come soon with a blog recap of the event, but for now let me just say that I am always amazed by the energy and enthusiasm at these events. And it was awesome to have so many first-timers present who’d never been to an NPSP Day (or an un-conference style event in general!).

We’re going to keep the energy going strong next month with NPSP Day Seattle and NPSP Fundraising Day (in NYC). As a reminder, we will be covering the NPC and Salesforce for nonprofits more broadly in addition to the NPSP. Hope to see you there!

Keep scrolling for the latest ideas, questions, conversations, and events from across the Trailblazer community!

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

5. How I Solved It: File Deletion Flow
   Michael Kolodner (Kolodner.com LLC)

   Working with Files in Salesforce can be a challenge— one such challenge is that Files can only be deleted by the person that originally uploaded them (the file's "owner") or by someone with Modify All Data, like a system administrator. In this blog post, Michael Kolodner shares a screen flow solution that he created to address this particular problem.

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

1. Allow Interest Tags on Education Cloud Fundraising Objects
   Trevor Underwood (Sleek Consulting)

   Currently, Interest Tags are not available on fundraising objects. Enabling this feature for gift designation and gift objects could help drive segmentation, automations, AI summaries, and prompt templates all based on giving. Vote for this idea if you like the sound of it!
