Amsterdam Community: Thank you for joining us at the Sprint!

“As always, it was incredibly encouraging and informative to be in the same room with so many brilliant humans dedicated to making the world a better place.” - Amsterdam Sprinter

46 custmers & parnters and 18 Salesforce staff (64 total!) joined us in person for the 2-day Sprint, representing the local Nonprofit ecosystem, including end users, admins, developers, architects, and industry partners from the Netherlands and beyond.

To everyone who joined: thank you for carving out time during what we know is an already busy time of year. Your willingness to share your skills, insights, and energy made this event truly exceptional.

80% of the room were NEW sprinters (!) and our returning leaders rose to the occasion beautifully, mentoring newcomers and creating the collaborative, welcoming atmosphere that defines our community.

A Welcome from Salesforce Leadership

After a lively networking breakfast, Cori O’Brien (Director, Nonprofit Community) officially kicked off the day, our master emcee! We had welcome remarks from Ivar Jansen (SVP, EMEA, Nonprofit at Salesforce), sharing deep gratitude for the strength and dedication of this regional community.

Let’s Sprint!

After breakfast and intros, it was time to get to work. Attendees had the option to join 3 existing project and 2 brand-new projects on the spot. Collaboration kicked off quickly, with creative energy flowing.

After a quick round of project identification based on prioritized challenges they are faced with today, attendees moved around the room to join the projects that resonated most with their interests and expertise. Collaboration was officially underway - and the creative energy was palpable.

Gift Aid is a UK scheme that lets registered charities reclaim basic-rate tax on donations from UK taxpayers, boosting the value of a donation by 25% at no extra cost to the donor.

Redesigned the core data model for separated periods and added a new claim object
Built automations to link and unlink opportunities to claim periods, mark opportunities ineligible, and store the last known address
Added start date calculation, a reusable UK postcode subflow, an ERD, a process flow, data quality reports and a new Gift Aid section on the Contact record

Next Steps:

Make progress on and complete the user stories
Create new issues for further development and reorganise existing ones
Finish the outstanding items

3. Migration Support Discovery

A project exploring how to support organizations migrating from NPSP to NPC. The discovery discussion concluded that a migration this complex is best left in the hands of Salesforce. Work shown here is Day 1 only.

Work performed at this sprint:

Identified the gaps to migrate
Defined the persona

Next Steps:

Share the discovery findings (gaps and persona) with Salesforce, who are best placed to own the migration

Team members: Jesse Hoosemans, Marie van Roekel, Sindhuja, Vaner Menon, Auke Jutjens

4. Summit Events App

Summit Events App (SEA), built by members of the Salesforce.org Commons community, is a free end-to-end event management solution for the education and nonprofit community. This team extended it to support targeted event invitations using Salesforce Campaigns and Campaign Members.

Work performed at this sprint:

Set up Slack, GitHub and full sandbox access, plus a GitLab and AI content pack
Wrote the user stories for the invitation lifecycle
Built and deployed to the sandbox the first user stories: linking the invitation Campaign to the Gala event, a donor type field, a Campaign Member trigger and duplicate registration prevention
Created a recipe for organisers of private events: Campaign Members trigger registration records with personalised registration links, and invitees get an email to RSVP and complete the standard registration journey

Next Steps:

Strengthen the Email/Marketing Cloud solution
Sync Campaign Members with registration records
Decide which functionality to include in Core SEA

5. Unsubscribe Link

Any promotional or fundraising email sent from Salesforce should give recipients a way to unsubscribe, but native Salesforce doesn’t provide that feature. Unsubscribe Link is a community-built app that fills that gap, and the team worked to get it ready for its V1 release.

Work performed at this sprint:

Reviewed the package architecture, flagged and documented potential security risks (including open email entry) and raised pull requests with fixes
Created installation instructions for contributors (unlocked package) and updated end user instructions (managed package)
Completed LWR site testing, made recommendations and updated documentation
Got the AgentExchange launch template half done and proposed a project name change (subject to a vote from project leaders)

Next Steps:

Finish the AgentExchange launch template
Meet with project leads and contributors on v1 release readiness
Finalise and QA the release
Submit for Salesforce Security Review
