My most recent discovery - and to judge from the naming conventions of the users you're assigned when using it, I'm relatively early to the trend -- is PlatformDemos.com They have lots of different fancy, often expensive licenses to choose from, and you can spin up a scratch org of even apply it to an existing org. Searching for Data Mask options brings me here....

The company's code less integration platform offering was always sound. It doesn't have the breadth of category-killer Zapier, but when for some cloud offerings, the Integromat/Make actions list is on occasion more robust. And so it's always worth comparing the two when a client comes with flexible requirements....

Out of the box, Podio/Podio Workflow Automation has a perfectly serviceable send email action -- if you don't mind generic, Podio branding. This Sway details how a much more complex flow in Podio Workflow Automation coupled with waiting webhooks in Zapier can get that email template sent via Gmail -- and then the merged content saved as an item in its own Podio app as well. Link in the imagage above or here to launch the flow.

The Podio Product Roadmap call on the 19th was perhaps a little less impressive than I had hoped for. But I must confess that I like the colors on the UX Beta. And I'll have to retire my well-worn, well-recieved line about how in a cloud platform industry on innovation overdrive, there stands the Podio User Interface, as if frozen in Amber....

One of Podio's longstanding weaknesses has been dashboards and business intelligence visualizations. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover this app, ChartGrids.com By drilling down through Podio Org to Workspace to the App whose data you want to visualize, you can combine charts from different apps into a dashboard. Right now it's only bar charts. But area charts, pie charts and donughts charts are on their way.

Late last summer as Salesforce was upgrading its identity management processes for Trailblazer Community and Trailhead Training, when logging in, a bunch of my identities were consolidated, and a fresh profile page created for me. But the existing original profile page was the one linked to my Webassessor Account, which governs certifications. And I no longer had access to that. So, after much hue and cry, I finally got a case opened and set with Salesforce and now my Trailhead Profile displays my badges. Link to Profile Next goal: a Super Badge and Sharing & Visibility Designer.

Though I tried to use the online proctored exam, their software didn't recognize my Logitech Brio, and so I was forced to reschedule and schlep across town to a testing center. Still, it was gratifying to pass on the first try.
