Salesforce

Overview​

Salesforce is a cloud CRM and platform ecosystem. Beyond sales clouds, it offers custom objects, automation (Flows), Apex code, Lightning Web Components, and integrations through APIs—making it both an app you configure and a low-code / pro-code development platform.

Key concepts​

  • Org — Your tenant; sandboxes for dev/test vs production.
  • Objects & records — Standard (Lead, Account) and custom data model.
  • Security model — Profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, OWD.
  • Automation — Flow, Process Builder (legacy), Apex triggers.
  • Deployment — Change sets, Salesforce DX, CI with scratch orgs.

Record update via automation (high level)​

Sample: minimal SOQL query (Apex context)​

List<Account> accounts = [
  SELECT Id, Name, Industry
  FROM Account
  WHERE Industry = 'Technology'
  LIMIT 50
];
