As a Salesforce Administrator, if you’re anything like me, it can be hard enough maintaining proper security parameters, keeping the entirety of your org’s data clean, and responding to troubleshooting requests. You must do all this while keeping up with requests, like creating that new dashboard for the BizDev team. All of this must happen in between stakeholder meetings making sure your org is running as effectively as possible. Oh, and don’t forget the most common request of resetting user passwords. I’m sweating just typing all of that out!
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what a typical day in the life of a Salesforce Administrator can look like. I didn’t even hit on the administrative side of actually logging all of these tasks. You know the bottlenecks and pain this immense workload creates. There’s got to be a better way, right?
Wouldn’t it be great if those general admin tasks were automated? What if your users were ecstatic about the ease of use of Salesforce? Isn’t this the dream of every Salesforce Admin?
Think about all that you could accomplish if you could get to this dream state. Luckily for you, we have a Salesforce admin tool that can help you get there. With Formstack for Salesforce, you could save an average of 20 hours each week, giving you more time to focus on impactful work.
