March 21st - San Diego Release Week 🥳

March 23rd is a BIG day - it’s the 82nd day of the year the anniversary of that container ship running aground in the Suez Canal in 2021, but MOST importantly it is the GA Release Day for ServiceNow's latest version - SAN DIEGO! ☀️ In honor of the release named for the birthplaceof ServiceNow, we’ve got some AWESOME Creator Workflows content for you 👍🏻

**Mc's Picks: Top San Diego App Engine Enhancements on ServiceNow -** We’re back to posting Mc's Picks - a LinkedIn article series that breaks down and simplifies Lauren’s top 5 Creator Workflows enhancements with every release. ****Each "pick" also features links for customers to easily learn more through the Docs site. My ranking is based on what I see as being the most valuable for the widest breadth of users and developers.

**ServiceNow App Engine "Speedrun" #1 ⚡️ Self-Service Marketing App -** After the successful dry-run last week and appropriate revisions, we've gone ahead and scheduled the first ever public App Engine livestream! For each livestream, we will start from ground zero with a list of "customer" requests and a "win condition" for this version of the app to be complete. Then, in one sitting, we will go through each stage of development, from ideation to deployment, timing every stage and teaching along the way. By the end, you will not only have unedited proof of ServiceNow's speed and quality BUT accessibilty to the app we built through GitHub, as well as oodles of resources to help them in the App Engine journey. SPOILER ALERT - There may be a challenge at the end with prizes...

For our first official App Engine "Speedrun," I'm going to be designing and building an app that allows salespeople to interface in a self-service fashion with marketing / the product team. Using some sort of request, they will immediately be linked the information they can disclose in that given circumstance, benefitting not only the salesperson but the company overall so no one is accidentally spilling the beans.

March 9th - App Engine “Speedrun” Livestreams Are a GO!

While it came with a considerable learning curve, this week we successfully got all of the software needed to livestream up and running and tested! Demoing virtually through Zoom / Teams / whatever is great for one-on-one conversations but when the goal is to speak to a broader audience its rather limiting. There’s no built-in way to evangelize an event is happening, there’s no self-service way to watch a recording, and you come in using a work email. These are issues all absolved by YouTube, so we thought it would be a great platform to start a new series of content. Stay tuned for more...
