Continua il racconto sul quando, come e perchè Enrico ha partorito l’idea dell’ORGanizer 🤓 (se non l’hai ancora fatto, ascolta l’episodio precedente 🔙).
In questo parte tratteremo anche il tema del fallimento 😒 (citando il lavoro di Francesca Corrado) e su come esso sia, a differenza di come si possa pensare e solo se sfruttato nel modo corretto, una fonte importante di stimoli per migliorarsi e andare avanti 🏃♂️.
Buon ascolto 👂!

in the next release, currently under testing 🤖, an important update will impact the License Verification procedure that you can achieve from the “Options” page on the “PRO” tab, only if you are on paid tier.
You won’t be required to have a synced user on your browser or use Google Authentication to validate your email address anymore, but you’ll simply be required to input your email address and license key to start the validation process: this is a more reliable and easy way to handle your licenses, making the process absolutely smooth! 😎
🚨⚠ Once the release will be live you’ll be required to remove your current license and validate it again ⚠ 🚨
So don’t panic if you’ll temporary see your ORGanizer unlicensed! 😱
NOTE: this update won’t be available to Firefox users at this moment, sorry guys but Firefox has so many problems that its version will stay behind for a while 🦊
📜 The golden rules 👑
You need to validate your license on each browser or browser’s profile you use the license with (if you use Chrome and Edge, you need to validate both, if you use Chrome with many profiles, you need to validate each profile, more or less the same happens now)
The validation process sends a validation email to your licensed email, so you need to have access to your email address and use the provided code to activate your client (you better check your spam folder)
There is a limit on the number of active clients that you can activate with a license (this number depends on the license type, details will be given shortly), but you can deactivate a client to make room for your new client (that’s why you’ll be able to add a Client Name to each client so to point the right client in deactivation)
There is a cooldown for client deactivation (whose duration depends on license type as well) that prevents you from deactivating clients like a crazy 😵
This is how things will change 🤯
The “PRO” tab in the “Options” page (right click on ORGanizer icon and select “Options”) will show new fields:
Client ID (identifies your client, i.e. each browser and browser’s profile you have ORGanizer installed will have its own ID, you cannot change it and please don’t try to do it, it will simply invalidate your client license) and Client Name (as said, you can update this value to clearly identify a client)
Licensing section where you have to set license key and email address as delivered by Gumroad licensing service (your purchase confirmation email, as usual)
When you start a new validation process, you’ll receive the following message:
This is the email you’ll receive (again, check on your SPAM folder):
Now you need to simply copy/paste this code on the activation code on the “Activation Code” field that pops up:
If you reach the max number of active clients you’ll be shown a popup with the details and the list of currently active clients (you decide which one to deactivate, considering the cooldown period):
If you need more details send me a message using the support form.
📣 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 listedit’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 PROor Team license, though, but for companies it can be a life saver!
Open the Options page (right click on ORGanizer icon and select Options)
Select the Import/Export tab
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!
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
Select the logins you want to be loaded into ORGanizer for Salesforce extension
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 🔗 AppExchangelink.
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.
More then 3 months from the last Reindeer Release say hello to the ORGanizer for Salesforce Giraffe Release (0.6.8.4).
Why a Giraffe, you ask?
Like a Giraffe points its head up to the sky, the Giraffe Release points toward release 1.0, when we’ll finally go out of beta, closing an almost 3 years old path since its first release 0.1 in September 2016.
I’ve worked a lot on stability and bug fixing in these months, reviewing tens of issues and suggestions, provided by my beloved ORGanusers who support my day by day work.
A brand new sponsor
It’s also a pleasure to introduce you to our next sponsor NativeVideo for the next months, starting from the current release!
Founded in London in 2018, NativeVideo is on a mission to bring businesses and people closer together with the power of Video.
NativeVideo is the platform that, once installed from the AppExchange, enables video recording and browsing as a native functionality inside Salesforce.
The company has already released two “extension packages” that customise the solution to 2 specific use cases:
LeadGenVideo demand generation / deal nurturing thanks to video messages that include both classic webcam video recording and screen recording
TalentVideo designed for those companies that use Salesforce for their recruitment and adds video interviews to the process, with a very well designed workflow and collaboration features.
NativeVideo customers have customised the NativeVideo platform and the use of Video to their needs on other use cases, like Service – screen recording sent by the service representative to answer questions and solve bugs, CPQ – a walkthrough screen recording video where the offer is explained when it is sent to the customer, Customer feedback / testimonial – inviting customers to answer a few questions on video to provide feedback on the service and results they are receiving, and many more.
Jump to NativeVideo landing page to say hello and thank them for helping the ORGanizer to keep the hard work going!
What’s new with the Giraffe?
First we have new consolidated limits for logins storage:
Approaching to release 1.0 the number of logins that can be stored with the free edition of the ORGanizer will gradually decrease. The number of logins will be limited in the free edition but all the other features will always be kept free.
Pro version can be purchased from the Chrome Web Store and now using Promo Codes (only available on Chrome version as of now):
A promo code is strictly related to the user email address and has an expiration date, and conveys the same enhanced limits of the Pro version in-app purchase.
Why a promo code?
To allow companies to mass purchase ORGanizer licenses or for promotions or free trials.
Know your email address: needed to get your email address for Promo Code verification (your email address is never sent to anyone but only used to validate your codes, if any)
Read and change data on a number of websites:
force.com, salesforce.com, visualforce.com, documentforce.com, salesforce-communities.com: main Salesforce domains
organizer-api.enree.co: Promo Code verification endpoint. This endpoint is called only after Promo code validation (if any)
And more and more enhancements and bug fixes
Read the change log for the whole list of what’s inside this new release, and see you in the next release!
