To ensure that customers have successfully been properly set up to use Guided Selling in production, ringDNA support requires the following steps to be completed prior to leveraging the package in a production environment due to the power and scheduling capabilities of the Guided Selling package.
Use Case
Provide the ringDNA support team a list of your intended sequence uses to align with product features and configuration. It's critical that we can align the configuration of the package to goals and outcomes that your team is looking to achieve. These will answer the following questions and provide insight to complete a successful admin training and configuration of your Guided Selling package.
- What sequence actions will be used in your sequences?
- If your sequences require native emails, what provider is being used?
- What objects are you targeting in your sequences?
- Leads
- Contacts
- Campaigns
- Opportunities
Salesforce Automation
The second pre-flight check is to isolate any components or logic within Salesforce that can interrupt or conflict with the scheduling operations of the managed package. The package runs three distinct batches on a frequency basis to create and execute the time series of actions associated with a sequence.
- List all managed packages in your Salesforce Org to validate any interference with sequence batch scheduling operations.
- List all triggers being used in your Salesforce Org
