ERROR running auth:jwt:grant: We encountered a JSON web token error, which is likely not an issue with Salesforce CLI. Here's the error: Error authenticating with JWT config due to: user hasn't approved this consumer. [...]
In this post we will be creating a PowerShell script that executes the Ant logic from the last post and some Git commands that will commit changes to a cloud repository. [...]
Use the Ant Migration Tool to refresh local Salesforce metadata files without manually removing the files or folders. [...]
Use an Apex class that implements the Messaging.InboundEmailHandler interface to handle an inbound email message for opting out the email address. [...]
The logic discussed in this post will show you how to get 18-character record Ids setup on any Salesforce object and have the value maintained by a lightweight Apex trigger. [...]

Illustrate some of the ways that variables work within batch apex classes. [...]
A queueable interface in Salesforce allows for the asynchronous execution of Apex jobs. It's similar to @Future annotated Apex classes except that a queueable interface can be monitored via the Salesforce user interface or by querying the AsyncApexJob table. [...]
This is the code coverage for a popular post where a PDF is created and attached to a record using a button click. [...]

Creating a composite application for the AppExchange, developing integrations with open authentication (OAuth) or simply integrating salesforce with an internal system/platform can make your security team nervous. However, the Salesforce Crypto class should put your security folks at ease. [...]

This is usually in the form of a spreadsheet and includes the date, hours, short description and employee. [...]

For example, every Salesforce developer that works in an Enterprise level organization or higher will find that more often than not they need to know the record types for a given object. [...]
Last year I wrote a post describing how to pass values to a new opportunity using the URL. This post is simply an alternative to accomplish the same goal of auto-populating values to a new record except using Visualforce and an Apex Class controller. For the purposes of our demonstration we will make some general assumptions about the values we want to pass to the new reco
