3. Improvements in fundraising efficiency are always welcome, and with the Winter ’23 release, there will be increased Data Entry Verification. This will help your organization improve data quality by validating email and phone formats to discover which stakeholders have passed away, also avoiding what could potentially be unfortunate outreach.
4. Moving into some exciting Salesforce for Education releases, there is now the introduction of appointment booking enhancements in the Student Success Hub. This will help ensure facilities are able to give students more custom levels of support by allowing them to enter comments when they are making appointment booking requests.
5. Another enhancement in Education is the Student Success Hub: Guidance Center. The new Guidance Center offers step-by-step guidance and resources for the appointed Admin in your organization to get quickly up to speed!
6. Finally, the Data Mover Enhancements for the Education Data Architecture (EDA) and Student Success Hub allow you to bring in external data with ready-to-use importing, custom mapping, and duplication prevention logic. This exciting feature for data integrity!
