The wish list is what excites you. The action items are what actually gets a name attached to who's building it. Here is what TDigital is actually scoping this month, pulled straight from the Texas Dreamin’ sessions that gave us something we could build:
The "Notify" Pattern: Thanks to Fahmeeda Begum, we are building real Salesforce record changes that post straight into the Slack channel where the right person already works, rather than sitting in an inbox until someone happens to check it.
New Build Standards: Michelle Hansen shared five practical Flow updates (message components, custom error messages, Get Related Records, global variable mapping, and static resource images). Not flashy, just useful. These are going into our build standards starting with our next client project. No reason to keep building the old way once a better way exists.
Zero-Code AI Prototyping: Fahmeeda Begum and Deepthi Anumula showed us how to wire a Screen Flow straight into OpenAI. Before we bring that to a client, we're prototyping it internally first. If an admin can ship it in an afternoon, we should know exactly how.
Our New AI Standard: Orlando Villarreal's rule for using AI responsibly—think first, research second, use AI third, audit always—is becoming our actual internal standard, not just a good line from a session.
We’ve all experienced the post-conference slump: you leave with a notebook full of inspiration, but once you return to the daily grind, nothing actually gets built. The only way to bridge that gap is ownership. These four takeaways from Texas Dreamin' have officially moved from our wish list to our active pipeline. What conference insights is your team putting into practice this week?
