[AppExchange – 123FormBuilder] Form Migration Between Salesforce Orgs

Different business scenarios may require you a form migration between Salesforce orgs. For example, after you are done setting everything up in your Sandbox org, you need to turn to your Production environment. Or if you are a consultant and are preparing the Salesforce implementation for a customer, you need to publish the setup live at the end. Irrespective of the situation, 123FormBuilder provides an easy-to-use migration mechanism that allows you to quickly transfer forms between different Salesforce orgs.

When you migrate a form between Salesforce orgs, the two orgs should have a similar structure. The object and fields mapped in the 123FormBuilder – Salesforce integration should be identical.

After migration, you will need to check the integration settings and re-enable your connectors. This is in order to minimize the chances of something not working correctly.

How can I migrate my forms from one Salesforce org to another?


First, it’s important for you to know that the feature is available in the My Forms section of your 123FormBuilder account for each form you are creating. The Show More menu contains a Form Migration option that allows you to move the form to the new org.
