If you’re a Salesforce Administrator, you already know the reality: your to-do list never ends. Between building objects, cleaning data, maintaining security, and supporting users, there’s rarely enough time in the day.

Think of Cline as a junior teammate who’s always available to help you design, build, and troubleshoot in Salesforce.

Organize requests with this format:
Objective: [What you want to achieve]
Current State: [How it works now]
Desired State: [How it should work]

Success Criteria: [How we’ll measure success]
Test Scenarios: [How we’ll confirm it works]
Start small, test in sandbox, then expand. Cline is great at producing quick drafts you can refine.

Cline helps you skip repetitive build steps, avoid costly rework, and focus on the high-value parts of your role: understanding business needs, aligning technology, and supporting your users.
