Hi Chanchal,

Yes, a query activity can update the data extension in real time. You would need to:

1. Create a new data extension containing a subscriber/recipient field as the Primary Key and also add boolean fields for link1, link2, link3, etc.
2. Create a Query Activity to update the Data Extension you created from Step 1 so that it updates the boolean fields in the DE for each recipient.
3. Create a one-to-one cardinal relationship to the data extension you created in step 1 in Contact Builder, mapping the recipient identifer back to the Contact Key of the Contact Record.
4. Now you can use Split conditions from journey builder to update the data extension.

Hi Shradha,

Lifecycle of an application is the process of managing an app’s development, from design to final release. It establishes a framework for managing changes. There are four steps in lifecycle of an application:

1. Plan - An app starts with planning. This step includes requirements gathering and analysis.
2. Build -  The development is done on the Salesforce platform using declarative tools. These tools are available in the user interface and are programmatic tools such as Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Components.
3. Test - The app is tested to verify that the changes behave as expected and don’t cause undesired side-effects.
4. Deploy - When testing is successfully completed and the quality benchmarks have been met, the app can be deployed to production.

Hi Chanchal,

You can use Lightning Components directly in Lightning Experience, the Salesforce1 Mobile app, template-based communities, and custom standalone apps. You can include Lightning components in a Visualforce page, allowing you to use them in Salesforce Classic, Console, and Visualforce-based communities.

Hello Prachi,

Data Extensions are repository or list of emails to send. Data extension is made up of any combinations of these field types:

1. Text - letters, numbers, and spaces.
2. Number - Decimal values are not supported.

4. Boolean - A 0 or 1 value.
5. Email Address - An email address.
6. Phone - A phone number. Accepts any string with 10 or 11 digits in it and strips out non-digit characters.
7. Decimal - A number with a decimal point.
8. Local – ISO Country & Language codes

Hello Prachi,

Salesforce has been promoting lightning but that doesn't mean visualforce is gone. Visualforce enables developers to build custom user interfaces with a native hosting on the Force.com platform. Visualforce enables developers to build custom user interfaces with a native hosting on the Force.com platform.

Lightning framework aligns with Salesforce user interface strategy to empower users with highly immersive and interactive experience but involves a steep learning curve in comparison to Visualforce. Since application building is an inherent part of Lightning, it is considered a bit more complex than Visualforce.

Both the frameworks encompass some pros and cons associated with them. If you are developing for a Salesforce1 mobile app, you should prefer Lightning framework and if you want to create a page-centric experience with limited client-side logic, you must opt Visualforce framework.

Top Down approach in SOAP-

1. Top Down approach involves creating a WSDL and then creating the Web service using the WSDL file.
2. In top-down approach, first you design the implementation of the Web service by creating a WSDL file. You can then create the Web service skeleton Java classes from the wsdl, and add the required code.

Bottom Up approach in SOAP-

1. When creating a web service using Bottom Up approach, first you write the java classes for the web service and then create the WSDL file and publish the web service.
2. Although bottom-up Web service development may be faster and easier, the top-down approach is the recommended way of creating a Web service.

JSON is the most preferred way of transferring data over web. We use this most in salesforce when integrating with an external system. In most of the integrations, you typically use HTTP Callouts to the end points defined by various services, and the most common response format returned by these is JSON. Parsing this JSON would be very time consuming . One way of doing this would be manually parsing the complete JSON using the JSONParser method but Deserialization parsing method is better because

<Class/Object> n = (<Class/Object>)JSON.deserialize('JSON', <Class/Object>.class);

This one statement would completely deserialize the JSON and store the values in the respective member variables of the class.
