Free Tier

☁️ Salesforce.com Free Tier Notes

Abstract

I have a free tier environment. VERY limited. This is just me trying to make it usable and a very pretty rolodex

No Custom Objects

It will let you create the Custom Object until you try to Save - then it tells you that you have exceeded your total available amount of Custom Objects.

Limited Number of Flows

I think it's 5, so be choosy on the ones you actually need.

Apex - HAHA!

'Nuf said.

Supporting my job hunt

What this does

In order to leverage the Free Tier without creating Custom Objects, you have to think of Standard Objects a little differently. My thought was to leverage Products as Jobs - the below is what I did to make that happen.

Show what you like, but I have the Products Related List as a Related List (Basic List) - Single and only showing the Product and the Product Description (Long). Yes, this is... large... but it shows the data I'm after.

Currency Opportunity Min Salary Due to limitations I can't cram this in via Product or Price Book Entry, and since the Opp is for only one Product, this seems workable
Max Salary See above
Lookup Opportunity Initial Contact This is more for Recruiters, but this reminds me who I should be looking for in email and/or LinkedIn, etc.
Long Text Product Description 32,768 characters. This is for the Job Role info
Long Text Opportunity Product Product Description (Long) 32,768 characters. This is for a Flow to push from Product to here
Flow Record-Trigger Look here -> NAME: Opp Line Item - After Create - OLI Desc from Prod Desc
DESC: When an Opportunity Product is added, it will take the Description from the Product and put it into the (Long) field on the Opp Product
- Trigger the Flow When: A record is created
- Update Product Description (Long) from OppLineItm > PID > Description
