Salesforce Summer ’19 Release – what’s new?

Salesforce summer update

Three times a year Salesforce releases the new version of products, each time enriched by new features. Changes enter into force at the same day for users all around the world. What’s more important, they do not affect customers’ individually matched processes.

• E-mail notifications for new tasks assigned to salespeople.
