Dear Nathan Franklin (Power Profile Tools)

Dear Nathan Franklin,

Thank you so much for being you. And thank you more specifically for creating Power Profile Tools.

I had created a bunch of fields in a Salesforce Sandbox and when I moved them over into my Production environment, they came without the Field Level Security settings that I needed. This could be simply an annoying clean-up task for me with a million clicks to go into each field and change the Field Level Security settings individually - but this also came for me as part of a HUGE and widely impactful project of making changes to our Salesforce environment, and to be honest I was exhausted at that point. 

I did that quick calculation in my head - would my time be more valuably (and enjoyably) spent manually clicking, or searching for a more “bulk” solution. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes of Google searching brought me to your excellent product. It was literally exactly what I needed - an easy User Interface way to quickly and in bulk update Field Level Security permissions. I was done with the critical updates I needed in just a few minutes and had spare time and renewed excitement enough to use Power Profile Tools to clean up some lingering permissions issues I had in other areas of Salesforce. This benefit was WELL worth the $20 donation I sent to you when I was done with my work.

So Nathan, THANK YOU for what you’ve put out into the world. It has impacted me in an incredible way, and I’m sure there are so many more stories like this that you may or may not have gotten sent to you, but I know they are out there. And perhaps more soon! I am not a product creator - but I hope to follow in your footsteps and share anything I have that would be helpful for other people to make their tech work for them.

Peace,

Emily
