Nonprofit Salesforce Updates for 2024!

As the new year unfolds, Salesforce is gearing up to roll out changes and enhancements that will make your CRM experience more secure and up to date. Put your thinking cap on as we dive into the deeper technical aspects of what these changes mean for your organization. Here’s a quick peek at some of what’s coming!

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) now enforced in all orgs

Salesforce has been rolling out MFA requirements for well over a year now, but this year all clients will need to make plans to implement multi-factor authentication as it will be enforced in all orgs. If you haven’t read about it yet, this means adding an extra layer of security to your account by requiring users to enter more than just a password when logging in. Think of it like having your own secret handshake to keep your Salesforce safe and sound.

Making Flows Safer with Secure Redirection

Salesforce will be applying stricter validation to the flow URL parameter that determines where you redirect users after they complete a screen flow. With stricter validation, the platform will block requests to redirect users to URLs that don’t meet the additional validation requirements unless they’re on your list of trusted URLs in Setup.

Out with the Old, In with the New: API Version Retirement

Okay, so think of it like this – Salesforce is tidying up its closet by retiring some older API versions (21.0 through 30.0). It’s like saying goodbye to some old shoes! This move helps Salesforce focus on the latest and greatest tech to keep things running smoothly. Make sure you’re only running updated API versions.
