Salesforce Critical Updates Follow
Salesforce sometimes sends automated alerts — such as for enhanced domains, API retirements, or other critical updates — to your org’s administrators. You may also see prompts during login. These notices usually cover important platform or security changes.
Most updates can be turned on and off for a limited time. This lets you test their impact on your custom code or integrations before Salesforce enforces them on the auto-activation date. Unless we specifically advise against an update on this page, you can safely activate it early or wait until it is enforced.
If you have custom code or third-party add-ons and are unsure about the impact of an update, ask your developer or provider to review. We strongly recommend testing updates first in a Sandbox environment (partial or full data) before enabling them in production.

API Retirement (Summer ’25)
The Propertybase team has updated our latest version to ensure full compliance with Salesforce’s API retirement. All Propertybase-managed code now runs on the latest supported API version.
What you need to do: Review any third-party apps or custom code in your org that may rely on older API versions and update them to avoid issues.

Guest User Email Restriction (Summer ’23)
Salesforce now blocks emails sent from unverified addresses on Guest User records. Propertybase code has been reviewed to align with this policy.
What you need to do: If you use Guest Users to send emails, configure an Organization-Wide Email Address and verify it. Update workflows and flows to use the verified address.

Enhanced Domains (Spring ’23)
Salesforce rolled out Enhanced Domains to meet modern browser and security standards. This feature was deployed in 2023 and enforced in Winter ’24.
This update meets the latest browser requirements, including allowing users to access Salesforce with browsers that block third-party cookies.
In Winter ’25 Salesforce stopped redirecting previous non-enhanced domains.
Examples:<site-name>.site.force.com → MyDomainName.my.salesforce-sites.comhttps://<some-prefix>.vf.force.com → MyDomainName--PackageName.vf.force.com
What you need to do: Confirm that your custom integrations, links, and Single Sign-On (SSO) settings work with your Enhanced Domain. Test in Sandbox before enabling in production.

Multi-Factor Authentication (Feb ’22)
Salesforce requires MFA for all users. Propertybase supports MFA and provides guides to help with setup.
What you need to do: Enable MFA for your Salesforce users. Start with a small group to test the impact and roll out gradually.

Guest User Security Policies (Summer ’20)
Salesforce increased security restrictions for Guest Users. Propertybase has adapted our product to comply with these changes.
What you need to do: If you built custom Guest User functionality, review your sharing rules and adjust record ownership. Test changes in a Sandbox before enabling in production.

Expiring Certificates
From time to time Salesforce notifies you about expiring certificates. Propertybase-managed certificates are updated as needed.
What you need to do: If you use Single Sign-On (SSO) or custom apps with certificates, check which certificates are expiring and replace them. Always test in Sandbox first before deleting or renewing certificates.
