2. Contacts: Associate a Contact with Multiple Accounts (Generally Available). You can now associate a contact to multiple accounts. A contact will be associated to one account as the primary account as a direct relationship (this is denoted as the account in the Account Name field). The contact can be associated to additional accounts via an indirect relationship.

This feature needs to be enabled on the Account Settings screen. Once enabled, you decide the behavior when a user deletes an account with direct contacts related to other accounts or when users replace the primary account as shown below.

On the contact page layout, add the new Related Accounts related list. The primary account will show as the direct account in the related list

To add a new account contact relationship, select the account and optionally you can specify a contact role.

3. Email is now its own standard Salesforce object as Enhanced Email! Users can now relate emails to multiple contacts, leads, users. Since it’s now a standard object, you can create custom fields, validation rules, workflows (only to update fields on cases), triggers and page layout. You can only have one record type.

The Enhanced email functionality is automatically enabled except for companies that use the Email-to-Case functionality. You can related enhanced email records to objects other than the Case object. Salesforce recommends that you perform thorough testing on Email to Case functionality in a sandbox before enabling this in Production.

Enhanced Email is not automatically enabled for companies that use Email to Case. If you use Email to Case, you can use custom fields, workflows, and triggers with email without enabling Enhanced Email. Enable Enhanced Email to store emails as Email records instead of tasks, which lets users relate emails to objects other than the Case object. Test Enhanced Email thoroughly in a sandbox environment to ensure that your Email to Case customizations are working as expected. Additionally, any triggers or processes currently using email tasks will need to be recreated in the Email Message object and tested before migration to Production.

4. Processes Can Execute Actions on More Than One Criteria. After your process executes an immediate action group, you can specify whether it continues onto the next criteria or it stops there. Note: This feature is not available on a criteria that has scheduled actions.

7. You can come to the rescue and generate a temporary identity verification code for users who forgot, lost, or otherwise can’t access the device they usually use for two-factor authentication.

Go to the user record, and click on the “Generate” link.

Then select when to have the temp code expire.

Once the code is generated, you can provide the code to the user.

You can expire the verification code prior to the expiration date.

8. Delegate Two-Factor Authentication Support Tasks to Non-Admins. Users with “Manage Two-Factor Authentication in User Interface” permission or “Manage Users” permission.
