I want to thank Pietro Piga for involving me in this new (crazy) initiative. 🤪

We have launched a podcast 🎙 titled “Salesforce Sidekicks” (whose temporary home is this blog, click on PODCAST: Salesforce Sidekicks 🇮🇹 ) with the goal of sharing our (completely off-the-cuff) conversations about the Salesforce world, in an informal 😎, if possible, humorous 🤡, and above all, in Italian. 💙

We would like to attempt to restart ▶ that fantastic “Italia Ohana Community” 🌈🤙 that we tried to kick off some time ago with Nino Guarnacci and the support of Salesforce ☁, aiming to share our passion 💘 for the Salesforce world and, why not, receive feedback and opinions to be shared in other episodes. 🗣

So, we kick off 2024 with the first episode “Salesforce and AI” 🚀
Happy listening! 👂

ORGanizer Connector: create your personal Salesforce credentials hub! 🎯

By

On December 20, 2022

In Announcement

📣 It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that ORGanizer Connector has successfully passed the AppExchange security review and it will soon be publicly listed it’s just been publicly listed!

What’s ORGanizer Connector?

ORGanizer Connector is a free AppExchange app that can be freely installed on any org type (production, sandbox or developer edition).

The app usage is really simple:

  • manually create Backup records that contains one or more credentials (Backup Items) whose secrets (password and token) are encrypted with a key stored in the main Backup record (which only who has access to the record can get)
  • massively import ORGanizer for Salesforce backups to automatically create Backup records using ORGanizer for Salesforce backup files
  • Each Backup can be shared using Salesforce standard sharing model, so org users can see only the record they are allowed to access and nothing more (we suggest a Private sharing model extended with sharing rules or manual sharing)
  • The package exposes a couple of REST APIs to let external applications integrate
    • By having access to a Backup record, you can use the Send Secret by Email button to receive the encryption secret by mail: this secret will be used to decrypt the secrets using the Reveal Password & Token button on the Backup Item record or using the ORGanizer for Salesforce native integration (for Full PRO and Team users only), or creating your own integration following the Github repo example

Is it really free?

The app is absolutely free 👌

If you want to use the ORGanizer for Salesforce native integration you need a Full PRO or Team license, though, but for companies it can be a life saver!

How do you use ORGanizer Connector integration?

It’s easy as 1,2,3:

  1. Install the package on your org (👉 AppExchange Link)
  2. Open the Options page (right click on ORGanizer icon and select Options)
  3. Select the Import/Export tab
  4. In the ORGanizer Connector (PRO) section select a connection (i.e. a login already stored on ORGanizer that lets you login to the org where ORGanizer Connector is installed…I suggest using an OAuth login)
    • Provided org can be a production org, a sandbox org or a Developer Edition org, no limitations!
  5. Select a Backup record and click the Get Backup button
    • Remember: you need to get the Backup’s Secret using the Send Secret by Email button on the Backup record
  6. Select the logins you want to be loaded into ORGanizer for Salesforce extension
  7. Select a login group already on your extension or create a new one and click the Import Logins button
    • If you import a login that is already on ORGanizer (username is the unique key) the login will simply be updated with the new passoword and token

Have a look at the video below to have a glimpse of how simple is ORGanizer for Salesforce’s Connector user experience:

When will ORGanizer Connector be available to install from AppExchange?

UPDATE: The package has just been listed and is available from this 🔗 AppExchange link.

We hope to be ready to publish the listing within Christmas 2022 alogn with an updated version of ORGanizer for Salesforce extension that will enable the native integration for PRO users.
