1. Harnessing the Power of DevOps Center

One of the most notable features in Summer ’23 is the generally available DevOps Center. This Salesforce provided tool offers an enhanced change and release management experience by incorporating best practices from the DevOps world. With the DevOps Center, developers and admins can collaborate seamlessly to deliver customer value in a scalable and repeatable manner, either via a point-and-click interface or directly from your source system.

2. Simplifying Integration with HTTPCallout Builder

The HTTPCallout Builder, a low-code feature in beta, is another remarkable addition to this release. This feature simplifies the process of automating workflows with external data by enabling the creation of Flow Builder actions that call Web-based service APIs with HTTP Callout. With the HTTPCallout Builder, you can set up direct integrations without writing a single line of code or using a middleware service.

3. Creating Interactive Screens

The Summer ’23 release introduces the Build Screens with Interactive Components feature, currently in beta. This functionality enables the setup of supported or personalized Lightning Web Components to adapt to modifications in other components on the same screen, paving the way for the creation of screens that emulate single-page applications.

4. Leveraging Dynamic Forms for Flow with Lookup Fields

For flow users, the Dynamic Forms for Flow feature introduces the ability to add Lookup Fields to flow screens easily. This feature simplifies the process of creating record-enabled orchestrations directly from the Lookup field.

5. Improving Conditional Directives

The Summer ’23 release introduces a more streamlined approach to Conditional Directives, transitioning from the older if:true and if:false directives to a more intuitive lwc:if, lwc:elseif, and lwc:else format. These directives simplify the creation of dynamic templates based on specific conditions.

6. Scheduling Queueable Jobs with Delay

The System.enqueueJob Method now allows developers to set a delay when scheduling Queueable Jobs, ranging from 0 to 10 minutes. This attribute offers an effective approach for adding queueable tasks to the asynchronous execution queue with a pre-determined minimal delay.

7. Dynamically Passing Bind Variables to a SOQL Query

A notable addition to the Summer ’23 release is the facility to Dynamically Pass Bind Variables to a SOQL Query, further enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the platform. This enhancement streamlines the method of resolving bind variables directly from a Map parameter using a key, thereby removing the requirement for the variables to be in scope during query execution.
