How do Salesforce seasonal releases affect Thynk?
By Thynk· Published · Updated
Thynk is built natively on Salesforce and tested on scratch orgs running the next Salesforce version before it reaches production. Seasonal upgrades are applied quickly, generally outside business hours, so hotels and venues keep working as normal and gain new platform capabilities automatically.
Full answer
Thynk is powered and hosted by Salesforce; Salesforce is upgraded through three major seasonal releases each year (Spring, Summer and Winter). Because Thynk is built natively on the Salesforce platform, hotels and venues benefit from every release with no disruption to their sales and catering work.
Thynk is ready for each release before it reaches customers:
- Tested in advance: Thynk's development and testing are done on Salesforce scratch orgs that already run the next Salesforce version as soon as it is available, ahead of production orgs.
- Seamless upgrades: Salesforce generally applies upgrades outside business hours, and the upgrade itself is quick.
- Business as usual: bookings, events, function diaries and integrations keep working as normal after the upgrade, so teams can carry on with their day.
- Automatic benefits: Thynk is upgraded automatically with each Salesforce release, so new platform capabilities in security, automation, reporting and the user experience become available without a separate project.
Customers who want an early look at what is new can review the Salesforce release notes or use a Salesforce sandbox preview. The result is a platform that stays current with Salesforce's latest innovation while hotels and venues keep focusing on their guests and revenue.
