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.

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.
Building upon my previous experience with Web-to-Lead spam checks, I am readying the release of an AppExchange application to perform spam checking against your incoming Salesforce data. Benefits include:
Before officially releasing it to the public, I want it running in the real world and am looking for people to try it with real, live web forms. Being an active participant will mean a good deal on it when it’s released. Please complete the form below and you’ll be added to the list of those interested. I’ll reach out to you when I am ready to get the beta going (plan on late July / early August).
Update 2009-09-04: Thank you for your interest, but the beta is now closed.
Auto vCard 2.0 was released in January of this year with major functionality improvements, one of which was it running native on the force.com platform. The older 1.x versions of Auto vCard used scripts running on Arrowpointe web servers.
The 1.x scripts are being retired. If you are running a 1.x version of Auto vCard (go to your Setup | View Installed Packages page in Salesforce to check), you should be aware of the following changes taking place.
To learn more about version 2.0, you can visit the product page on our website or the AppExchange listing. Version 2.0 offers a free 60 day, 5 user trial. After that, it is $1/user/month to subscribe and you can subscribe any number of your Salesforce users to it. Non-profits can use it for free.
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!
