ORGanizer Becomes Community, New Names, Higher Prices, Agentforce Jobs Boom While Projects Stall in Pilot

From the curator, Grzegorz Skaruz: This week's roundup feels like a mix of "brace yourself" and "let's figure this out together." Salesforce dropped a naming and pricing shake-up that's got everyone talking - Enterprise Edition becoming "Core Edition" is just the start, and the cost changes are the real story. Meanwhile, Agentforce is reshaping the job market in a strange way: demand for the skill is soaring even though plenty of companies are still stuck in pilot mode, not quite sure what to do with it.I also found a piece asking what Salesforce Admins will actually be doing in 2027, and honestly, it's less about AI replacing anyone and more about the job shifting toward oversight, trust, and bigger-picture thinking. And if you're still logging in with a username, there's a change coming to your default login method that's worth understanding before it catches you off guard. Read the whole note

    ORGanizer is now a (wannabe) community

    Putting the Ideas board online turned into way more than planned - organizer.solutions got a full rebuild and is now a real community hub, not just a download page. There's now a place to discuss ideas, Salesforce news (with Grzegorz Skaruz's newsletter), polls, surveys, comments, votes, likes, and notifications. New video guides and in-site support make help easier to find. Accounts now support Google sign-in and two-factor auth, you can link licenses to use in the extension, buying is smoother, and inviting a colleague earns you PRO. Privacy and cookie info got updated too.

    New Names, Much Higher Prices

    Salesforce dropped a big announcement on Sept 3, 2026 - new names, new bundles, and yep, higher prices. The biggest head-scratcher: "Enterprise Edition" (EE), the name everyone's used forever, is getting rebranded to "Core Edition." Don't panic yet though - this only kicks in for your org once your contract renews. There are also new bundles that might actually be useful for some companies. But the real sting is the price hikes that come along with all these changes.

    What Will a Salesforce Admin Actually Do in 2027?

    Throughout 2026, tons of talk centered on what's happening to the Salesforce Admin role - are admins doing too much, should they learn to code, are they turning into architects by accident, and what AI really means for their future. Instead of asking "Will AI replace admins?" again, the better question is: what will the job actually look like if it doesn't? Salesforce keeps pushing deeper into AI, while admins get pulled into data, architecture, and security work. No single answer fits everyone, but by 2027, the role may shift from building the first version of things to deciding what gets built, checking AI's work, understanding bigger impacts, and keeping orgs trustworthy.

    Salesforce Email Login Is the New Default: Convenience or Security Risk?

    Salesforce is switching the default login method to email instead of username, starting this October for production orgs. This email login option launched last year, but making it the default has sparked mixed reactions. Some love the convenience, while others worry it's a security risk hiding behind a UX upgrade. Both sides have fair points - so it's worth understanding what's changing, why Salesforce made this call, and what steps to take to stay secure.

    Clean Org, Happy Users: Quick Wins You Can Start Next Monday, Johann Furmann

    Keep it simple - that's the whole point. Johann's right: if Salesforce is too complex, people just won't use it. The real win isn't the impressive numbers he shared (though they're legit) - it's how it feels, like living in a clean, tidy home. And just like a tidy space, a clean org makes room for new stuff too - adding something new is way easier when everything's already organized.

    Salesforce: Lead merge with MCAE Prospect

    Salesforce's merge() SOAP API lets you combine up to three records of the same type into one. You pick which record stays as the master and which ones get merged in - Salesforce won't automatically choose based on age. For example, with Lead A, B, and C, you can keep A as the master and merge B and C into it. This keeps A as the survivor, deletes B and C, moves over any related records to A, and sets a MasterRecordId on the deleted ones so you can trace where they went.
