10 Claude Use Cases for Admins, Red Team Agent: Native Pen Testing Coming

From the curator, Grzegorz Skaruz: It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. Read the whole note

It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. This edition leans heavy on AI, no surprise there. Claude keeps popping up everywhere, including some genuinely useful ways admins can start using it daily (with the usual caveat: don't blindly trust what it spits out). Then there's the native Red Team Agent Salesforce announced at Dreamforce, which could finally make penetration testing less of a luxury for orgs that never had the budget for it. Winter '27 is live too, and it's not one flashy headline feature this time but a bunch of smaller wins across data, security, and Flow Builder worth sharing with your team. And if you're using MCP or building AI agents, you'll want to know Salesforce is about to start charging for that access through Flex Credits. Worth understanding before November. Dig in below.

But here's the catch: over 75% of Salesforce Admins haven't tried vibe coding tools like this yet, missing out on a ton of potential. This piece covers 10 practical ways admins can use Claude daily. One big reminder though - never blindly trust AI output. Always double-check and test results before deploying or treating them as fact, whether it's Claude or any other AI tool.

    Salesforce Customer Portal: Build In-House vs. Use a Pre-Built Solution (What Admins Should Know)

    Since September 2025, Salesforce has made it harder to connect new apps to orgs, and this wasn't about customer portals - but admins got stuck dealing with it anyway. That's basically how portal decisions go: the "build vs buy" choice gets made quickly at the start by developers, but the ongoing work - permission checks, testing updates, fixing issues - lands on admins for years afterward. So instead of comparing features, this piece looks at what each option actually leaves behind for the admin once everyone else has moved on.
