Integration With Salesforce

Emails

Once Sugar Market has captured the delivery status of an email recipient, the respective record in CRM will be updated per the connector configuration. The two options are to create either a Sugar Market Email Activity record, or a native Activity (history) record.

Option 1: Sent Email to Sugar Market Email Entity

Does contain Opens and Clicks count, as well as being able to see who email was sent from and the name of the campaign. This is a good option if you don't want to clutter up the Activity History section.

Email URL Link Clicks

Clicking into a campaign pushed to our custom entity will allow you to see the Links\URLs clicked.

Note: Open Activities and Activity History are Salesforce entities, and are not related to the Campaign detail.

Option 2: Sent Email to Activity (History) Entity

This doesn't contain opens and clicks, but is a good option if your sales team lives in the Activity History.

Landing Pages

Once Sugar Market has captured a landing page completion, the respective record in CRM will have a Landing Page completion added to the Landing Pages custom entity.

Completions to Custom Entity

You will be able to see the Dialog Name and completed date for each landing page completion.

Completion Detail

Clicking into the completions allows visibility of the data submitted into the landing page. (Dialog Response)

Web Activity

Once Sugar Market has captured cookied web activity for a lead or contact, the respective record in CRM will be updated per the connector configuration. The two options are to create either a Sugar Market Web Activity record, or a native Activity (history) record.

Option 1: Web Activity to Sugar Market Web Activity Entity

This allows you to see more information easily, without having to click into the activity. Pushing the activity to our custom entity also will keep your Activity History from possibly getting cluttered with lots of web activity.

Clicking into any of these activities grants you visibly into more activity details, as well as the web pages that were hit.

Option 2: Web Activity to Activity (History) Entity

This is a good option if your team lives in the Activity History.

Clicking into any of these activities will allow you to see additional details regarding the web activity.

Tasks

When a task is created in Sugar Market, you can push those as Open Activities to the corresponding CRM record.

Events

Once an event in Sugar Market is over, all registered and attended contacts and leads will have their respective records in CRM updated with the event information inserted into the custom Event Management entity.

Events to Custom Entity

This will allow you to see the events which the record has registered for and attended.

Clicking into any of these events will allow you to see additional information about the event.

Salesforce Campaigns

Distribution Lists

By selecting the corresponding checkbox in the Sugar Market connector screen, (Download Campaign Members to Distribution Lists) Sugar Market will sync down members of Salesforce campaigns into a distribution list, which can then be used as an include or exclude list.

Notes regarding syncing Salesforce campaign lists:

• If the records do not already exist in our database (in contact table), we will not sync them into the Sugar Market distribution list.
• Sugar Market distribution lists do not contain duplicate emails
• Sugar Market distribution lists do not contain blank or invalid emails

Installing Sugar Market

Overview

There are 4 main components to the installation:

1. Installing Sugar Market from the Salesforce AppExchange
2. Customize your Salesforce options
3. Modifying the Sugar Market Custom Objects
4. Campaign Click Configuration

Step 2: Select users to access

You will see the following screen where you can select who will be able to use the bundle. Select your preferred access. If you would like all users to access the Sugar Market components, then select 'Grant access to all users' and click Install. You may also select either of the other options that will restrict access to certain users. Doing so will limit the users who can access the marketing data available in the Sugar Market iFrame as well as data pushed up to custom entities installed with this bundle.

Once the installation is complete, you will receive an installation successful message. If for some reason you did not then please record the error message and reach out to support.

Post-Installation Configuration

Now that the application is installed, you will need to configure it so that the Sugar Market components will show underneath your Contacts and Leads.

Step 1: Customize Lead Layout

Click App Setup. Then select Setup > App Setup > Customize > Leads > Page Layout > Edit. You should see a screen similar to the image below. If you have multiple page layouts, you may be prompted to select the layout you wish to add the Salesfusion components to.

Step 2: Adding Custom Objects

There are 4 custom objects that you have the option to add to your Page Layout:

You may adjust the Height and Label of the Journey as shown in red if desired, this is not a requirement.

Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 above on the Contacts record

Configuring the Salesforce Connector

Accessing the Salesforce Connector

Your Sugar Market CRM Connector will provide access to setup & modify your password access, synchronization preferences and a time table of the last completed sync with your CRM. To access the Salesforce Connector, you will log in to your Sugar Market account. From the user menu in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, choose Account Configuration.

On the left hand side of the screen, you'll see a section for external connectors. After selecting Salesforce.com, you will then see the Salesforce.com Configuration screen.

Step 1: Syncing Credentials

First thing you'll do is enter the Salesforce.com username and password that Sugar Market will use to sync with your CRM. You may create a new user or use one that is pre-existing as Salesforce.com allows for concurrent logins. However, do note that all records created or updated by our sync will be attributed to the syncing user. The sync-ing user must have the necessary permissions to read and\or update all records which you wish Sugar Market to sync.

Fields:

• Username : The Salesforce.com CRM username we will user to authenticate via your web services
• Password : The password for above user

After entering the credentials as mentioned above, click Save Connection to the right.

Step 2: Syncing Dates

No Action Needed - this table will show you the last time Sugar Market has synced with your CRM. These will be up-dated once we have completed the initial integration. See the Integration With Salesforce section for a deeper explanation on this component.

Step 3: Syncing Preferences

Set up your syncing preferences. This includes what information you want Sugar Market to sync down and what information you'd like Sugar Market to update and create, among other preferences. See the full explanation of each item below.

Pull Data (Sync from CRM)

Push Data (Sync to CRM)

Step 4: Remove Data from Marketing

When our bundle is installed, triggers are added which make an API call against ourdatabase when a record is de-leted, ensuring that these removed records are also deleted from Sugar Market's database. An autodelete report may also be added to remove records from Sugar Market with a specific critieria if desired.

Step 5: CRM Alerts

Insert the email addresses of whom should be alerted should there be an credential issue with your sync. We typically recommend you include the CRM Admin and the syncing user. You can separate multiple email addresses with a semicolon.

Note: Completing the bundle installation and connector configuration will not initiate the sync. You will need to contact Sugar Market to turn on the Sync.

Viewing Sync Status

You can review the status of your sync between Sugar Market and Salesforce with the Salesforce Sync Dashboard. The dashboard can be accessed via the user menu > Admin > CRM Administrator > External Connectors > [CRM Name] Sync Dashboard.

Dashboard

Last Completed Cycle

The date shown here is the last time an entity was successfully synced.

Dashboard Alerts

The alerts section shows sync problems that occurred, categorized into two main error types:

• CRM Login Error : This is a configuration problem that occurs when the password for the syncing user was changed in the CRM, but not updated in Sugar Market connector settings. This can be easily remedied by going to the CRM Connector Settings page via user menu > Admin > CRM Administrator > External Connectors > [CRM Name].
• API Error : Since APIs can have an intermittent connectivity issue, it is best to wait until the error has occurred more than once. Admins can quickly investigate if there is an issue on their side that can be fixed. If it cannot be fixed, they can contact customer support and provide the information given to help troubleshoot the issue.

Email Alerts

Login Email Alert

An email alert will be sent after (3) three consecutive Login errors. Alerts will continue to be sent daily if the issue is still occuring.

API Email Alert

An email alert will be sent daily if there is an API error. Connectivity issues can cause a sync to fail without there being a problem with the sync itself, so we do not want to alert the user via email unless it fails consistently. Alerts will continue to be sent daily if the issue is still occuring.

If there is both a login error and an API error, then the daily email will contain information regarding both errors.

Email alerts are sent to the email addresses specified in the CRM Connector Alerts section. Admins can navigate to this page via user menu > Admin > CRM Administrator > External Connectors > [CRM Name]. Multiple email addresses can be specified using a semicolon delineation.

Pull Status

The pull status shows the sync status from the CRM into Sugar Market.

The icon in the status column denotes status of the sync for that entity.

• A green check mark indicates that a sync has completed successfully.
• An orange circle of arrows indicates that a sync is currently ongoing.
• A red circle of arrows with a line through it indicates that a sync that was previously on has been turned off.
  Note: If the sync was previously on and turned off before the launch of this feature, the last completed sync date will appear with a green checkmark instead of the red circle of arrows.
• A red X indicates that an error has stopped the sync.
• A "-" dash with grey text indicates the item has not been configured to be synced.
• An orange clock indicates that the specific entity is waiting for its turn to start syncing. This usually happens when the sync is newly set up since the entities take a longer time for the first sync.

Push Status

The push status shows the sync status from Sugar Market to the CRM.

The icon in the status column denotes status of the sync for that entity.

• A green check mark indicates that a sync has completed successfully.
• An orange circle of arrows indicates that a sync is currently ongoing.
• A red circle of arrows with a line through it indicates that a sync that was previously on has been turned off.
  Note: If the sync was previously on and turned off before the launch of this feature, the last completed sync date will appear with a green checkmark, instead of the red circle of arrows.
• A red X indicates that an error has stopped the sync.
• A "-" dash with grey text indicates the item has not been configured to be synced.
• An orange clock indicates that the specific entity is waiting for its turn to start syncing. This usually happens when the sync is newly set up since the entities take a longer time for the first sync.

Integrating With Campaigns

Users can integrate their form submission data with the campaigns in their CRM. Marketers who want to track the contacts via their campaigns built within a CRM such as Salesforce can do so with ease. With the Campaign Objects integration, the submission data automatically syncs up to your CRM campaign whenever a new lead fills out a form that has a campaign specified.

How does it work?

1. Start building your form through Form Builder and go through the Basics step.

2. When you reach the Build Step, insert your form fields as normal.

The following are required for Campaign Objects to sync to your CRM:

• Your form must have a First Name field and you must map it to the FirstName CRM field.
• Your form must have a Last Name field and you must map it to the LastName CRM field.
• Field submission values must be something that Salesforce can recognize, otherwise, the contact won't sync. For example, if a user submitted a string value of 'Hi my name is Jake' for a Revenue field which expects a number, then Salesforce won't be able to sync that submission up to the campaign.

3. Continue to the Actions step where you'll first add a redirect URL. Then, a new button displays where you can add a new form action.

4. Click the form action button to see a dropdown with some options. Select the action Push to Campaign Object.

5. Select from the list of campaigns that are synced down from your Salesforce instance. There 2 important fields that you need to be set:

• Campaign Object - Select the campaign in Salesforce to which you want to sync your form submissions
• Status - Select the status for a lead that submits a form. Contacts are synced to your campaign in Salesforce with the specified status. These values are pulled from the campaign member statuses in your Salesforce Campaign.

6. Search and select your campaign to which you want to push your form submission records.

7. The Status field is then enabled for you to select the status for your submissions to have when they are pushed up to the campaign in Salesforce.

8. Click Okay. A new form action element appears under the Form Actions section on the page as shown:

The campaign object has been successfully associated to the form.

9. Publish your form. You are now ready to use your campaign object integrated form to start collecting and syncing your form submission data.

You have 2 options:

• Embed the form into your page by grabbing the code that's presented after publishing your form.
• Embed the form into a landing page built with Page Builder.

I've embedded my form onto my page. What happens now?

Now that you've placed your campaign object enabled form on your page, here's what you can expect. When a new contact fills out that form, that contact syncs up to your campaign in your CRM. Below is an example screenshot of how it works for the Salesforce CRM.

And here is that contact form submission showing up in the campaign within Salesforce:

 And that's it! You should see a corresponding record populate in the Campaign Members section for every record that submits the form.

Uninstalling Sugar Market

Disclaimer: Please note that uninstalling our bundle will perform the following:

• Permanently delete all components in this package
• Permanently delete all customizations you have made to these components
• Permanently delete all data that you have created for all custom objects in this package
• Permanently delete any reports, views, and custom tabs based on the custom objects in this package
• Permanently delete any relationships and related lists associated with the custom objects in this package

Step 1: Navigate to Installed Packages (Setup > Installed Packages)

Click Uninstall next to the Sugar Market package.

Step 2: Select type of uninstall

The next page breaks down everything that will be uninstalled from Salesforce. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to select whether you want to save the data contained in our bundle or not. When you uninstall a package, by default, all its data as well as related notes and attachments are automatically saved as an export file. This file is available for 48 hours in case you need to recover the data. To reload the data, import the export file manually and recreate any relationships between objects. Some components can't be recre-ated and others require special treatment.

You can also prevent the package data from being exported by selecting the Do not save a copy of this package's data after uninstall radio button. If you select to not save a copy, you will be asked to confirm this in a browser pop up.

Step 3: Select final checkbox confirming uninstall of package, then click the Uninstall button

Step 4: Confirm Uninstall

Upon clicking the uninstall button in the previous step, you will be re-directed to the Installed Packages page. There you will see Sugar Market in the Uninstalled packages section, temporarily with an Uninstall Status of "In Progress".

Lightning Experience

Salesforce offers the ability to upgrade to the Lightning Experience. Lightning is the collection of tools and technologies behind a significant upgrade to the Salesforce platform. These upgrades are made to both the backend of the platform as well as the UI\frontend.

Both the Sugar Market Sync and Sugar Market Bundle support either the Classic and Lightning version of Salesforce. When upgrading from Classic to Lightning, the only thing that may be necessary is to update the page layouts, and add the Sugar Market custom entities and iFrame after upgrading.

Salesforce Shared Contacts (Contact Tied to Multiple Accounts)

SalesForce rolled out a feature in the Summer 2016 release that allows contacts to be associated to multiple accounts. This is done through use of a custom object, which handles these additional relationships. Due to the fact that it uses a custom object, it is not something that it is not supported at this time.
