Automate Salesforce Processes w/ Custom Metadata & Apex Code: A Step-by-Step Tutorial | Smoothstack
It's William from Smoothstack, and in this video, we're diving into the powerful world of Custom Metadata in Salesforce. If you're looking to streamline your business processes with automation, you're in the right place.
Custom Metadata is a game-changer in Salesforce, allowing you to create data models tailored to your unique business needs. But what exactly is Custom Metadata? For those new to this concept, I recommend starting with these two Salesforce Trailhead modules: "Get Started with Custom Metadata Types" and "Create and Manage Custom Metadata Types." You can find the URLs in the video description. Feel free to pause this video and check them out first – they're quick reads!
Once you're familiar with Custom Metadata, join me as we delve into creating it specifically for automations. I'll guide you through a hands-on example, demonstrating how to use Apex Code in conjunction with Custom Metadata to automate a simple business process in Salesforce. You'll learn how to use Entity and Field Definition relationships to bundle objects and fields, and how to employ Apex commands like Schema.getGlobalDescribe(), SObject.get(), and Sobject.put() for efficient automation.
