Spinning up a Salesforce Education Cloud scratch org shouldn't take all morning. Soaring Peaks Consulting is excited to announce a new CumulusCI project on GitHub that contains various Education Cloud customizations, configuration, and sample data that help consultants, developers, and customers quickly setup Education Cloud in scratch orgs and other development environments.
CumulusCI is an open-source tool for automating Salesforce org setup, testing, and deployments. For additional information, access the documentation at cumulusci.readthedocs.io.
The new flows and tasks included in the project automate the assignment of various permission sets, set default record types for Account, Case, Individual Application, and Learning Achievement objects, deploy configuration for Salesforce Scheduler, set default org-wide default sharing settings, and more. The project also inserts sample data via Snowfakery, and optionally, can create and publish an Experience Cloud community site with prospective and current student users.
