Finally organized the first Salesforce developer meet up in Chennai on Sept-08.Now it's turn of Chennai Salesforce platform developer user group. Really amazing response from the Chennai Salesforce developers, totally 41 people registered for the event and 22 people attended the event, due to heavy rain in the morning some of them are unable to join they informed me through email and call.

In the  inaugural meetup we had two technical session one through online and other in offline. Initially I gave intro about the user group and then Ritika Dhandia who is technical lead in Salesforce.com and Venkat who is developer in Salesforce.com joined through online.

Ritika took one hour session on “Salesforce mobile sdk” and showed demo on it, then she answered some technical questions related to Salesforce platform through online and then Satheesh(member of group) he took a session on  “how to deploy the app in the AppExchange”. Later we gave opportunity to each attendee to share their views and expectation on the upcoming meet ups and at the end conducted cloud trivia and distributed the force.com T-shirts, books to the winners. Check here for the some pictures of this event.

Thanks to both of them.

Avoid Duplicate Records Using Flow

In this blog post lets see how to avoid duplicate records in Salesforce using the powerful feature – Flow , As the word says, flow easily flows to fulfill the requirements with ease. ☺  Many think of appexchange solutions and source code to avoid the duplicate record in salesforce, But the method I'm going to explain here is completely different and very simple. It helps you to reduce your code and can easily rebuild for other objects with different field logic with simple clicks.

Lets take an example for Account object 1. Go to Setup –> Accounts –> Buttons, Links and Actions 2. Click ‘New Button or Link' 3. Enter  Label, Name and select display type as ‘List Button’ 4. Content source as “Onclick Javascript” and paste the
