When I put the Ideas board online I thought I was adding a page to the site. It turned out to be the first step of something much bigger. Since then almost every part of organizer.solutions has been rebuilt, and the site is no longer just the place where you download ORGanizer and read the docs: it is the place where the people who use ORGanizer every day should talk to each other, and to me.
This post is a tour of what is new. It is long, so here is the map:
- A home for the community
- Ideas you can discuss and share
- Salesforce news, together with Grzegorz Skaruz’s newsletter
- Polls
- Surveys
- Comments, votes and likes
- Notifications
- New video guides
- Support, straight from the site
- Your account: Google sign-in and two-factor
- Link your licenses, use them in the extension
- The new purchase experience
- Bring a colleague, earn PRO
- Privacy, cookies and the fine print
A home for the community
Everything starts from /community, the Community entry of the menu. It shows what is moving right now: how many members, ideas, votes and comments there are, what is trending this week, the latest ideas, news, polls and surveys, the latest discussions and the most active members.
On the right you always find your profile card: your icon, your PRO badge, the counts of what you did and a small Getting started checklist that suggests the next things worth trying (turn on two-factor, invite a colleague, open the community panel in the extension…).
Every member also has a public profile at /members/<username>, with a short bio and links to LinkedIn, X, GitHub and Trailblazer Community. It is yours to show or hide: one switch in My profile → Preferences.
Ideas you can discuss and share
The Ideas board is where it all began, and it has grown up. On top there is now a roadmap that tells you where each idea stands: To plan, Planned, Developed and Released (with the version it shipped in).
Each idea has its own address, so you can send it to a colleague or post it anywhere: every card has share buttons for LinkedIn, X and Facebook, and a Copy link button. Open an idea and you get its discussion: comments written in Markdown, with replies, so a proposal can be refined together before I build it.
While you write a new proposal the form shows the similar ideas already on the board, so you can vote for an existing one instead of opening a duplicate.
Salesforce news, together with Grzegorz Skaruz’s newsletter
This is the one I am proudest of. The Salesforce news are now built in collaboration with Grzegorz Skaruz and his weekly newsletter Salesforce Insights in 5 Minutes: every issue lands on the site, with the curator’s note, its sections (For everyone, For devs, For admins) and its articles.
If you want the issue as soon as it is out, subscribe to the newsletter: subscribers get it in their inbox two days before it shows up here. The button is right there on the page.
Next to the newsletter’s articles there are the ones the community shares: any member can suggest an article, which goes on the portal once it has been reviewed (and credits who suggested it). Every article can be voted and commented on, and you can filter by origin, by issue, by section or by source.
Polls
Polls are the quickest way to tell me what you think: one question, a few answers, one click. You see the results as soon as you have answered (and you can change your answer while the poll is open). Polls can be liked, commented on and shared, and the featured one shows in the sidebar of every page.
Some polls are little quizzes: once they close, an explanation tells you why each answer is right or wrong.
Surveys
When one question is not enough there are Surveys: real forms with sections, choices, scales, grids and free text, questions that appear or disappear depending on your previous answers, and a progress bar. Your answers are saved as a draft while you go, so you can stop and come back later.
Some surveys are anonymous: in that case your response is stored without your account and without a date, and its results are only ever read in aggregate, once enough people have answered. Whether a survey is anonymous is always written on it.
Comments, votes and likes
Ideas, news and polls now share the same comments: Markdown, one level of replies, your own comments editable for a few minutes, and a Report button for anything that breaks the community guidelines. You can @mention another member, who gets notified.
Votes on ideas and articles, likes on polls: small gestures, but they tell me (and everyone else) what matters most. The goal of all this is simple: to get people talking, not just to collect feedback.
Notifications
The bell in the header tells you what happened since your last visit: new comments and votes on your ideas, an idea you voted for that moved on the roadmap, replies to your comments, mentions, a poll you answered that closed, an article you suggested that was approved. Below them, a recap of the new ideas, polls and surveys.
New video guides
The Guides page has been redone with one video for each part of ORGanizer, as it is today: quick login (on the classic page and on Salesforce’s new email login), password encryption with a passkey, switching orgs, the ORGanizer button, Quick Links, the Quick Console, the formula editor, the Change Set Helper, the Field History Helper, Access Lens, the Health Monitor, the Options page, PRO with your account and the community in your browser.
Support, straight from the site
The Support page is now the site’s own form. Pick the kind of request (info, bug report, idea, sponsorship), describe it, attach a screenshot if it helps, and send. If you are signed in, your email and your preferences are already filled in.
The big change is what happens next. The conversation no longer gets lost in an email thread: every request has its own page on the site, with the whole conversation, your attachments and the status (“waiting for our answer”, “we answered: your reply is awaited”, “closed”). Every time I answer, you get an email with the link to that page, and you reply right there.
Your account: Google sign-in and two-factor
An ORGanizer account is free, and now you can sign in with Google. You still choose a username and a password when you register, so the account never depends on Google alone; and an existing account is never connected to a Google account just because the emails match: you connect it yourself, from My profile → Security, with your password.
In the same tab you can turn on two-factor sign-in: scan the QR code with any authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords…), type the first code, and keep the ten recovery codes somewhere safe. From then on every log-in asks for the code too, Google’s included. Every change to your account’s security is also emailed to you.
Link your licenses, use them in the extension
This is the change that makes the account really useful. On My licenses you link your ORGanizer PRO licenses to your account (once, with the key and the email you bought it with). Then, in the extension, you sign in with your account and pick the license: no key to copy and paste on every computer.
My licenses also shows the devices using each license, the places left (10 per license) and a Remove button for the ones you no longer use. If you own a team license, you assign and free its seats from the same page.
Signing in from the extension opens a page of the site that asks which license that device should use, or none at all: you can sign in for the community only, to vote, comment and read the news right inside the extension.
That is the community panel: the lightbulb in the popup opens the ideas, the news, the polls and the surveys without leaving the page you are working on.
The new purchase experience
I’ve enhanced the new purchase license.
Once you are logged in, you can purchase a new license from Pricing page, you are redirected to the Gumroad checkout page. Once payment is completed, Gumroad returns the purchase confirmation to the ORGanizer site and the license is automatically linked to the ORGanizer account. You’ll still receive your license key from Gumroad but you’ll be setup automatically.
If something goes wrong, you can still re-apply your license manually.
Bring a colleague, earn PRO
Every member has a personal invite link, on the Invite tab of My profile. When a colleague registers from it, activates the account, signs in to the extension and takes part in the community (an idea, a comment, a poll or a survey answered…), you earn days of ORGanizer PRO, added automatically to a license linked to your account. And next to your name you get the Ambassador badge, with the number of colleagues you brought.
Privacy, cookies and the fine print
A community means accounts, and accounts mean personal data. I took that seriously, and the legal pages have been rewritten along with everything else. You find them all at the foot of every page:
- Privacy Policy: what the site keeps about your account, your ideas, your comments, your answers and your support requests, for how long, and your rights. The two optional consents asked at registration (occasional surveys, and news by email) are explained there, and you can change them any time in My profile → Preferences. You can also download all your data from My profile, as a JSON file.
- Cookie settings: nothing of a third party loads before you say yes. Google Analytics and AdSense wait for your consent, the fonts are served by the site itself, and a YouTube video loads only when you press play. You can change your choice whenever you like from Cookie settings in the footer.
- EULA: clause 16 covers the community accounts: one person, one account; what you post is public; what is not allowed. The community guidelines say the same thing in plain words.
- Security Statement: how signing in to the extension with your account works (OAuth with PKCE, short-lived tokens, a license answer signed by the license server, devices that you can end from My licenses), and why the account never holds a Salesforce credential or any data of your orgs.
From the My Profile page in the footer of the content you can also download your personal data using the Download my data link.. If you need to cancel your whole personal data, you can ask support: your account will be permanently anonymized.
Come in
That is a lot, I know, and it all started from a board of ideas. If you already have an account, sign in and have a look around; if you do not, create one: it is free, and it takes a minute.
Then tell me what you think: there is a board of ideas for that, now with comments. 🙂
Oh and don’t forget to partecipate to the ORGanizer Community Survey 2026!
