When loading a large volume of historical data into Salesforce, especially data spanning several years, it is common to encounter performance issues like the "Apex CPU Time Limit Exceeded" error. This error occurs because Salesforce processes each record with all active triggers, which can consume a significant amount of processing time.

Steps to Resolve:

Disable Trigger Handlers:

Navigate to NPSP Settings -> Trigger Handlers.

Uncheck the Active checkbox for all Trigger Handlers. This will temporarily disable the triggers, allowing the data to load without the additional processing overhead.

To integrate an existing proprietary event management system with Salesforce and automatically send event and attendee data daily, the consultant should recommend using a middleware tool. Middleware tools facilitate the integration between different systems, enabling seamless data transfer and synchronization.

Key Benefits:

Automation: Middleware tools can automate data transfers, ensuring that event and attendee data is regularly updated in Salesforce.

Customization: Middleware solutions offer customizable integration workflows to meet specific business requirements.

Steps to Implement:

Select a Middleware Tool:

Choose a middleware tool that supports integration with both the proprietary event management system and Salesforce (e.g., MuleSoft, Zapier, or Dell Boomi).

Configure Integration:

Set up the integration workflows in the middleware tool to map data fields between the event management system and Salesforce.

Schedule the data transfers to occur daily, ensuring that event and attendee data is consistently updated.

To reduce manual data entry and improve efficiency when entering donation data into both Salesforce and an external accounting system, the consultant should recommend using the Accounting Subledger:

Accounting Subledger:

The Accounting Subledger in NPSP provides a way to sync financial data between Salesforce and external accounting systems.

It ensures that donation data entered in Salesforce is automatically available for reconciliation and reporting in the accounting system.

Setting Up Accounting Subledger:

Install and configure the Accounting Subledger from the AppExchange.

Define the mapping between Salesforce donation records and the corresponding records in the accounting system.

Set up integration rules to automatically sync data based on predefined triggers and schedules.

Benefits:

Reduces manual data entry by automating the transfer of donation data.

Ensures data consistency and accuracy across systems.

Provides real-time visibility into financial data for better decision-making.

By using the Accounting Subledger, the nonprofit can streamline its data entry processes and improve overall efficiency.

When a nonprofit organization is informed of a deceased donor and wants to ensure that the donor no longer appears on any mailing lists, the appropriate action is to select the "Deceased" field on the donor's contact record. Here’s how to do it:

Navigate to the Contact Record:

Go to the Contacts tab in Salesforce.

Search for the donor’s contact record and open it.

Select the Deceased Field:

Locate the "Deceased" checkbox on the contact record.

Check the box to mark the contact as deceased.

Additional Actions:

Ensure that any automated processes or workflows related to email and mailing lists exclude contacts marked as deceased.

Update any relevant lists or segments to remove the deceased donor from future communications.

Implications of Marking a Contact as Deceased:

The contact will no longer be included in email or direct mail campaigns.

The contact record is retained in Salesforce for historical and reporting purposes, preserving donation history and other relevant information.
