In terms of Sitecore development, there are many Sitecore modules on Sitecore Marketplace and Github for that purpose. Frankly, I have not played around with… Continue reading Playing around with Sitecore user-friendly redirect template
We have a Sitecore scheduler task which CRUDs Sitecore items daily. The data source is from the response of an API endpoint which is managed by another vendor. Recently, no data has been returned.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! I’m excited to have a chance to play with my simple framework again.
