This past spring, we challenged employees to test their innovation by building Lightning web components to solve a wide variety of business cases. That’s because Salesforce Labs helps employees to bring their creations to life on the AppExchange.

We compiled 15 of the most imaginative solutions submitted to our challenge for you, but be sure to check out all of the Labs Lightning Web components here.

Easily modify your scheduled job through the associated Schedul-o-matic entry record.
