Shane: step-up authentication isn't required when the user’s profile has Login IP restrictions configured and the IP address has not changed between login and report download. Range limits are already enforced for this configuration.

Step-up authentication isn't required when the user’s profile has Login IP restrictions configured and Enforce login IP ranges on every request is enabled in Session Settings for the org.

Also, If you are using MS SSO, the changes might trigger a security upgrade cascade in MS that locks users out if their MS MFA is a legacy one.

Shusen: About email setting

I understand that you are using DKIM in production and you don't want to use DKIM in sandbox, in such cases, you can try the following

1.Add the domains to authorized email domains in production and enable copy to sandbox checkbox as mentioned in the following article:

https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.security_email_auth_domains.htm&type=5

2.You can use "substitute email address for unverified domains." under email deliverability settings. This allows emails to be sent without domain verification.

Summary

Summer 26 Release Highlights Meeting

The meeting began with casual conversation about the cold weather experiencing by participants in New Zealand and other locations. Anna welcomed attendees and announced that the formal presentation about Summer 26 release highlights would start soon, featuring speakers Sarah and Amy. The session was being conducted virtually to include remote community members, with plans to take team photos and share recordings and materials on the meeting listing platform.

Salesforce Release Updates Presentation

Sarah presented on Salesforce release updates, focusing on admin efficiency improvements including visual flow comparison features, data table lookup enhancements, and permission management tools. She demonstrated the new visual comparison feature which shows changes between flow versions and the enhanced data table lookups that now display column names and allow for hyperlinks. The permission management updates were highlighted as particularly useful for reviewing permissions in organizations with many permission sets.

Salesforce Updates and Transitions

Amy, a functional analyst from Suncorp New Zealand, shared updates on new Salesforce features including the transition from the Legacy Agentforce Builder to the new Agentforce Studio, which will no longer accept new agent builds after the 13th. She highlighted the Agentforce Setup tool as a powerful replacement for legacy setup processes, offering 500 free actions monthly and various automation capabilities. Amy also discussed improvements to flow error monitoring, which now shows error rates as percentages to help with triaging issues, and the new beta web console featuring dark mode and VS Code-like functionality.

AI Tools and Security Updates

Anna demonstrated how generative AI tools can help summarize release features and highlighted the SFXD Abridged Summer 26 Release Notes as a valuable unofficial resource. She announced that security changes including MFA requirements are being implemented, with production environments starting from today, and advised attendees to save their org ID as access might be restricted without proper MFA setup.

Salesforce MFA Requirements Update

Anna discussed upcoming changes to multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements in Salesforce, explaining that admin users and those with elevated permissions will need phishing-resistant MFA, while standard users will have MFA enforcement strengthened. The team discussed how report access has been modified, with re-authentication now only required for report exports rather than just viewing reports, though some participants noted ongoing authentication issues with report access. Anna announced several upcoming Salesforce community events including Kiwi Dreaming in July, an Agentforce challenge in August, Dreamforce in September, and True Blue Blazing in Melbourne in October.

Salesforce Email & Sandbox Updates

The meeting focused on discussing new Salesforce features, particularly around sandbox environments & email deliverability. Stephen shared details about a new Email Black Hole feature in Marketing Cloud Next that could help with testing, though not available in Sales & Service Cloud. Mark spoke about a new Summer 26 feature allowing users to choose between preview & non-preview sandboxes during creation, though Salesforce support enablement is required. Stephen also demonstrated a useful checkbox in the deliverability settings that allows sending emails for unverified domains without requiring DKIM key setup in sandboxes. The group discussed these features' practical applications and shared resources including links to Salesforce ideas and support articles.
