Salesforce Integration: Bulk Deletion

Rebecca avatar
Shared by Rebecca • February 10, 2025

Our Salesforce integration now uses bulk deletion handling to significantly reduce API calls to Salesforce.

Now, when an admin deletes a Published Course, Skilljar consolidates related deletions (Enrollments, Course Progress, Lesson Progress) into minimal bulk operations.

If you previously disabled your Salesforce integration due to high API usage, you can now safely re-enable it.

Shared by Rebecca • February 05, 2025

Fresh features and integrations, coming your way! Here's what launched in January:

🤝 Gainsight Integration: Leverage Skilljar data in Gainsight to incorporate course enrollments and completions into customer health scores and trigger automated actions based on training activity. Check out the Setup Guide.

💡 Ordered Learning Paths: Require learners to follow a specific course sequence in a path, removing the need for course prerequisites to set the specific course order.

🪄 Coming Soon–Simplified Course Management: A new course navigation header consolidates your most-used course pages into one experience, and a refreshed publication settings page provides a clear, at-a-glance view of settings without the lengthy scrolling.

❗️ Scheduled Maintenance: Skilljar will be temporarily offline for maintenance on Saturday, March 1st, from 8:00–9:30 PM PT. During this time, the dashboard, course platform, and APIs will be unavailable. Learners and platform administrators will see a maintenance page if they try to access the platform.

➕Small Improvements & Fixes:

Published Path Enrollment Setting: When a student enrolls in a learning path, Skilljar will automatically recognize any existing course enrollments for courses within the path.

Next Course Button on Paths: Learners can advance to the next course in a path after completing the course's last lesson with a new 'Next Course' button.

Catalog Page Builder–Tags: Add and manage tags on builder pages, ensuring that tagging functionality is consistent across both builder pages and legacy pages.
