Description

Service Portal can be a challenging application to master. There are many undocumented components and following a linear progression can be tricky. It's one of the largest applications on the platform with many different components that must all work together in harmony in order to deliver a successful customer-facing portal.

In this course, we'll examine how everything works together. We'll explore the service portal tools, widget development, Service Portal APIs like record watch, widget dependencies and providers, as well as Service Portal best practices and so much more!
