Perform bulk updates in Salesforce

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Update the 'Lead Source' field to 'Webinar' for all leads imported from the 'Q3 Marketing Webinar' campaign. Make sure the 'Status' field remains unchanged.

Before I update the contact records for the Q4 client outreach, flag any contacts where the 'Last Activity Date' is more than 90 days ago. I need to prioritize reaching out to those first.

I just updated 50 client records and now the 'Owner' field is blank for some of them.
I just updated 50 client records after the merger, and now the 'Owner' field is blank for some of them. I was trying to assign them all to my team, but it looks like some old records didn't have a lookup value. I'm afraid of losing track of these clients. What's the fastest way to identify the records that lost their owner and assign them to the 'Unassigned Accounts' queue without overwriting any that already have an owner?

I keep having to manually correct data entry errors after bulk imports.
I keep having to manually correct data entry errors after bulk imports, especially for new leads. It’s costing me hours every week in cleanup. What habit should I change to ensure cleaner data goes in from the start, so I don't have to fix it later?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Salesforce's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
