Best Salesforce Blogs to Follow in 2026
You hit a Flow error at 6 pm and search for it. Page one gives you a forum thread from 2019, three near-identical tutorials copied from each other, and an AI summary that confidently recommends Process Builder. None of it mentions the release that changed the behaviour last month.
That is how most of us keep up: random searches when something breaks, a LinkedIn post that happens to cross the feed, and a growing pile of tabs we never read. It works until it doesn't, and in an ecosystem with three releases a year, it usually doesn't.
A curated reading list flips that. A handful of trusted blogs, read on a schedule, keeps you current before you need the answer. The best ones are written by people who build on Salesforce every day, and they tell you what changed, why it matters and what to do about it.
In 2026 that filter matters more than ever. Agentforce, Data 360, Headless 360 and AI coding tools generate a flood of announcements, opinion and recycled content. The blogs below are where practitioners test the claims and show you what actually works in an org.
Here are 25 active Salesforce blogs worth following, grouped by what they're best at. 📚
🔎 How These Were Chosen
Every blog below was opened on 24–25 October 2026 and its latest post recorded. To make the list, a blog had to publish within roughly the last three months, focus on Salesforce, and be written by Salesforce itself, a recognised practitioner or a specialist vendor with original, practical content. Blogs that mostly republish release notes or generic SEO articles were left out, however often they post.
Several long-time favourites have gone quiet. SFDC99 signed off with a farewell post in September 2024. The Joys of Apex last posted in September 2025, SFDC Stop in November 2025 and Salesforce Code Crack in January 2024. Automation Champion is still a goldmine of Flow archives, but its latest post is 6 July 2026, just outside our window. Jitendra Zaa's last Salesforce post was in March 2026, and Focus on Force content has moved to K2U, where posts no longer show dates. Salesforce Diaries (last post July 2026) and Admin Hero (February 2026) also missed the cut.
All 25 blogs are free to read. Some are run by vendors or training providers and promote their own products, which is noted where it applies.

Use an RSS reader. Add your picks to Feedly or Inoreader (Inoreader's free plan covers 150 feeds) and read everything in one place. Most WordPress blogs publish a feed at /feed.
Subscribe to two newsletters, not ten. Salesforce Ben's daily email covers the news; the Salesforce Architects' monthly Architect Digest covers design.

Read with an org open. Try what you read in a sandbox or a Trailhead playground the same week, or it won't stick.
✅ Start Your List This Week
Choose four blogs from your role's list, add them to a reader today, and block 30 minutes on Friday. In a month you'll spot release changes before your clients ask about them.
Prefer hands-on learning? The academy publishes step-by-step Salesforce guides you can follow in your own org.
You don't need to read everything. You need to read the right things, regularly.
