You spent Monday resetting passwords. Tuesday debugging a Flow that "worked fine last week." Wednesday building the same pipeline report for the third VP who asked. Thursday explaining why someone can't see a field. And Friday? Friday you were supposed to work on that automation project from Q1.
This is the prompt library that gets Q1 done.
What's inside
100 copy-paste prompts, organized into 10 categories that map to how admin tickets actually arrive. Each prompt has [BRACKETED PARTS] you replace with your specifics (object names, field paths, error text, sample data). Then you paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever AI you're already using.
| Section | Prompts | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| 01 User Management, Permissions & FLS | 1-10 | Onboarding, offboarding, permission sets, sharing rules, license cleanup |
| 02 Formula Fields & Validation Rules | 11-20 | Cross-object formulas, REGEX, date math, debugging error messages |
| 03 Flows & Automation | 21-30 | Flow design, lead routing, Process Builder migration, performance tuning |
| 04 Troubleshooting, Debugging & Errors | 31-40 | Error translation, governor limits, deployment failures, "compiled formula too big" |
| 05 Reports & Dashboards | 41-50 | Executive dashboards, custom report types, pipeline forensics, joined reports |
| 06 Lightning Web Components | 51-60 | Quick actions, widgets, datatables, multi-step forms, debugging |
| 07 SOQL Queries & Data Operations | 61-70 | Aggregate queries, orphan record detection, bulk export, complex joins |
| 08 Apex Code & Test Classes | 71-80 | Triggers, batch Apex, invocable actions, test coverage, security review |
| 09 Data Cleanup & Deduplication | 81-90 | Match rules, duplicate jobs, bulk merge, data normalization |
| 10 Documentation, Training & Communication | 91-100 | Org docs, runbooks, change announcements, training content |
The reality check this prompt library is built for
71% of Salesforce admins are already using AI tools. Only 32.4% feel confident doing it. That's the gap this library closes. Most admins fail with AI not because they can't write a prompt, but because they don't know which framing produces production-grade output. The 100 prompts here are pre-engineered: they include the right context (object metadata, governor-limit hints, sandbox-first guidance) so the AI's first answer is usable, not the third or fourth one after re-prompting.
Every prompt has been tested on real Salesforce orgs (mid-market and enterprise). Where a prompt produces output that needs hand-cleaning, the prompt itself includes the validation step. No "trust me bro" prompts.
Three example prompts (so you can sanity-check before downloading)
Permission set audit (prompt #04):
“Here's the permission set XML from
[OBJECT_NAME]in our org:[PASTE XML]. Identify any object permissions, field-level security exceptions, or system permissions that look unusual or potentially over-privileged. For each finding, explain the risk and suggest the safer alternative. Format as a table with columns: Permission, Current State, Risk, Suggested Fix.”
Flow performance forensics (prompt #28):
“Here's the debug log from a flow that's hitting CPU time limits:
[PASTE DEBUG LOG]. Identify the specific elements consuming the most CPU. Recommend three optimization paths in order of effort: (1) lowest-effort fixes that preserve the flow shape, (2) moderate refactors that change the flow structure, (3) escalation to invocable Apex with reasoning. Include sample code where relevant.”
Stale report detection (prompt #44):
“Generate the SOQL query that returns reports in our org where
LastRunDateis null ORLastRunDateis more than 365 days ago, joined withReportFolderso I can see who owns each. Order byLastRunDateascending. Output the SOQL exactly, then write a one-paragraph cleanup playbook for what to do with the results.”
Who this is for
- Solo admins managing 100+ user orgs who are drowning in tickets
- Senior admins who want to multiply their team's throughput without hiring
- RevOps leads who write the same SOQL queries every week
- Junior admins trying to level up faster than the certification curriculum allows
If you're closing more than 5 tickets per week and using ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini ad-hoc, this library will compound the time you save by 3-5x.
What this isn't
- Not a replacement for Salesforce documentation. The official docs are still the source of truth for governor limits, schema constraints, and release-specific behaviors.
- Not a substitute for sandbox testing. Every prompt that produces config (Flow XML, validation rules, Apex classes) should be deployed sandbox-first with peer review.
- Not a cheatsheet. This is a prompt library, not a single-page reference. If you want a printable single-page summary of admin daily routines, see the cheatsheets library.
