Salesforce is currently running their Best of ‘09 AppExchange awards. The awards are solely based upon 2009 4-star and 5-star reviews. If you use an Arrowpointe application, I encourage you to leave a review. In addition to helping with awards, it’s the best way to give me your feedback and to help fellow Salesforce users know what’s quality and what is not.
Links to the Arrowpointe AppExchange listings are below:
Thank you for your feedback!
I am pleased to announce that Spam Check is now live on the AppExchange.
Spam Check lets your Salesforce system evaluate your data to see if it’s Spam. It contains built-in support for incoming Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case data and also has global Apex methods that allow developers to incorporate Spam checks in their applications (e.g. a custom Salesforce Site). This application delivers a solution for a popular idea from the community.
Spam Check uses Akismet, the leading spam evaluation service used on tens of thousands of blogs and websites everyday. Akismet gets its intelligence from the vast community that uses it everyday. Spam Check allows you to contribute to it and make it more intelligent for the whole community and for your Salesforce system specifically.
Install it from the AppExchange to start a free, no obligation 30-day trial. Once installed, you will get an email pointing you to the Spam Check Setup Guide.
For more information, please visit the Spam Check page on our website or its AppExchange listing.
I had the privilege of being asked to present to the San Diego Salesforce User Group this past Friday. The topic for the day was Appexchange Applications, Tools, and Components that you can download for Free!
I presented on a number of Arrowpointe Products as well as some 3rd party ones that, over the years, I have come to really appreciate. I included apps that are both free and ones I consider well worth the money. The list is not exhaustive and there are lots of good candidates. For 3rd party apps, I tried to pick ones that were useful to all Salesforce Customers and not ones that were focused on specific business processes or technologies to be integrated with. That pares down the list quite a bit.
If you are interested, you can download my slides. For each app I presented on, there are links on the slides to learn more about them.
Thank you San Diego User Group for being a great group to present to and I hope to make it down that way again soon!
Salesforce conducts a security audit for all AppExchange applications on an annual basis. I am pleased to report that Arrowpointe Maps has once again passed this review and has been certified for another year.
Evernote is a very cool and useful application for taking notes, saving web clippings and archiving images that represent notes (sometimes its faster to just take a picture). One really great thing about it is that it does OCR on you content (event the text in your images!) and makes it all searchable. I use it all the time and love it. It can be a bit of a novelty, but if you decide to really use it, you can get a lot of utility out of it.
What if you could save your Notes right into Salesforce? You can (only as Documents for now)! Coming soon is integration with standard and custom objects, which would let you do things like take a picture of a business card and import it into an Account/Contact combo. Maybe take a picture of a whitboard of notes and save it as an Activity.
Steve Buikhuizen has created the Note Wizard application. It’s definitely worth looking into. It’s an integration with Salesforce and Evernote all running on Amazon EC2 and S3!
Good work, Steve!
