Getting started

Start by heading to your featureOS Dashboard → Organization Settings → Integrations → Scroll down to Salesforce.

hndemo2-dev-ed.develop

You will be redirected to Salesforce for authorization and allowing access.

Once you’re redirected back to featureOS, the configuration window pops up and you’ll find a button to Install the Hellonext (featureOS) component on Salesforce.

For a case where the existing component names may conflict with ones in this package, we strongly suggest you choose “Rename conflicting components in package.

Click on Install and once done, switch back to your featureOS account where you’ll see a list of account fields that you can sync from Salesforce to featureOS.

Under the Settings section of the configuration window, you can enable

Sync Contacts Name - Allows you to sync names of the contact to featureOS and keep them updated as changes happen on Salesforce. Please note that only the name field of the contact syncs and not the email address.

Sync Accounts - Allows you to sync account-related fields available on Salesforce to the respective contacts on featureOS. These fields will be added as custom attributes to the customer records on featureOS and keep them updated as changes happen on Salesforce.

8. Choose the fields you need to be synced and click on Save.

Once relevant posts show up, simply click on the upvote button on the post.

You will now be able to choose a contact from the account linked to the opportunity and upvote on the contact’s behalf.

Creating a post on behalf

If there are no relevant posts or if you’d like to submit a post on a contact’s behalf, you can use the Create button to submit a new post.

You can then enter the title, description, choose a board, the submitter and create the post.

Note - For a private boards you will only be able to choose one of the board members on featureOS, who have a contact on Salesforce, as a submitter.

Once done, click on Create Post and you are all set!

How does the data sync work?

When you create a post or upvote on a post, on a contact’s behalf from Salesforce, the contact gets added as a customer record on featureOS.

With respect to contact syncing, as of now featureOS only syncs changes made to the contact’s name from Salesforce to featureOS.

The account fields you chose during the setup, get added as custom attributes to the respective customer’s record on featureOS.

As the chosen fields are updated on the Account in Salesforce, it also gets updated on featureOS.

Determining the value a feature can add using the opportunity cost

When you vote on behalf (or) create posts on your prospect’s behalf from Salesforce, the opportunity value sync to the respective featureOS post! With this, your team can achieve a revenue-driven prioritization and know the total revenue building the specific feature can yield!

You can also vote on the same requests, on behalf of multiple prospects. When this happens, all the opportunity value syncs to the featureOS post. Clicking on the “Opportunities” section on the left panel of the post will display all the prospects who feel the feature is required.

The Opportunity name, account name, amount and status sync if and when updated in your Sales console.

If required, you can also Unlink the opportunities from the request, direct from your featureOS post.
