Deep Links-Is My URL Syntax and Encoding Correct?

Is my URL syntax and encoding correct? If your deep link is not directing you to the specified destination or returning an HTTP 404 error, first check your URL syntax and encoding. URLs typically use this syntax: scheme://host:port/path?query-string#fragment-id Each part of a URL performs a different function and uses specific characters to identify and separate values. The scheme and host are not case-sensitive but the path and query-string are case-sensitive. A mistake in the composition of your URL will prevent it from opening as it should. deep links url syntax When setting up your deep link, pay attention to these conditions: If your app is not already installed and these conditions are not met, the adjust_t parameter is dropped by the browser. Adjust needs this parameter to locate the source of the click; without it, we will return the HTTP 404 error URL not found. Examples Depending upon how your URL is set up, your deep link can have the following behaviors: Deep link setup Example link URL Behavior Link URL + deep_link parameter https://app.adjust.com/r40ncx7?deep_link=adjust%3A%2F%2F%3Fpath Opens the app on the specified in-app page Universal link https://abcd.adj.st/%3Fpath?adjust_t=r40ncx7 Opens the app on the specified in-app page Universal link https://abcd.adj.st/?path&adjust_t=r40ncx7 Opens the app if it is already installed, but cannot reach the specified in-app page.

Fully Leveraging Salesforce

Salesforce, a dominant force in customer relationship management (CRM) systems, revealed a study that suggests that 83% of sales professionals believe their organization is fully leveraging their CRM system. Sounds pretty good, right?  Despite the prevalent automation and intelligence features within modern CRM systems, sales representatives still invest over 70% of their time in manual and repetitive tasks which aren’t focused on closing the deal. Not so good. This prompts the question: Why do sales reps dedicate so much time to non-selling activities? The answer may reside in the potential for enhanced CRM utilization. Only 37% of inside sales professionals strongly affirm that their organization maximizes their CRM’s capabilities, with inside sales reps identifying a clear opportunity for improvement. Addressing this issue involves prioritizing features deemed most valuable by sellers. Unsurprisingly, automation and intelligence functionalities are at the forefront. Salesforce, for instance, provides automation capabilities through Salesforce Einstein, utilizing artificial intelligence to automate tasks and deliver insightful analyses. Salesforce offers an array of tools and features to empower sales reps in their selling efforts, including Salesforce Lightning. Streamlining the sales process and enhancing productivity. Salesforce provides an extensive repository of resources and tutorials to assist sales reps in unlocking the platform’s full potential. Although CRM systems like Salesforce wield considerable power for sales organizations, their effectiveness hinges on being fully harnessed. By emphasizing automation and intelligence features, sales reps can allocate more time to selling and less to manual tasks. Fully leveraging Salesforce extends a wealth of tools and resources to help organizations optimize their CRM systems and enhance sales productivity.

Data Collection

Collecting Customer Data and Acting On It

Salesforce Data Collection and Customer Journey Mapping for Better Outcomes At the forefront of customer engagement, sales revenue leaders have a pivotal role in shaping a company’s overarching strategy and enhancing customer experience (CX). Through the extraction of valuable insights from Salesforce data collection, they illuminate areas for improvement, fostering long-term revenue growth.  This is all driven by customer data. Customer Journey Mapping A powerful method to gain a comprehensive understanding of the customer journey involves creating a customer journey map. This is based on your Salesforce data collection. This map traces customers’ experiences, unveiling pain points and moments of truth within the sales process. Utilizing this information, companies can enhance CX, predict revenue more accurately, and make data-driven decisions. For instance, if sales revenue executives observe that only a limited number of customers are transitioning from a free service to a paid one, they can experiment with innovative approaches to prompt purchases. Employing digital nudges, such as reminding customers of the limited time remaining to avail the free service, revenue leaders can iterate and refine their strategies until they resonate with customers. Salesforce Next Best Action can notify sales representatives of customers most likely to be ready to convert. Salesforce automations can move likely to convert customers to next best action campaigns and make intuitive decisions based upon predetermined criteria. Thanks to technological advancements in Salesforce, tracking and analyzing customer behavior is now more accessible than ever. Leveraging data analytics, AI, and machine learning, companies can delve deeper into every digital touchpoint, assessing its impact on CX. This empowers revenue leaders to evaluate the success of diverse initiatives, compare the effectiveness of multiple communication channels, and make decisions grounded in data. Decision Based on Salesforce Data Collection One consequential decision involves identifying high-value customers in the sales pipeline. Through data analytics, revenue leaders can ascertain which customers are most likely to complete a purchase, allowing for resource allocation optimization. This approach prevents the squandering of time and resources on low-value prospects and facilitates an accurate prediction of future revenue. Sales revenue leaders emerge as key drivers of growth and CX enhancement. By harnessing technology and data-driven insights, they can make informed decisions, fine-tune customer journeys, and ultimately propel revenue growth.

Salesforce Service Cloud Question-to-Case Explained

The Salesforce Service Cloud Question-to-Case feature streamlines the process for moderators to create cases from questions in Chatter, facilitating the efficient tracking and resolution of customer issues. Accessible across multiple platforms, including your Salesforce org, Salesforce mobile web, Aura, and Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce sites with Chatter Questions enabled, this feature ensures a seamless experience. When a customer uses the Question action in Chatter to ask a question, similar questions and Knowledge articles appear below the Chatter publisher. If the similar questions and articles don’t address the issue, the customer posts the question. The customer who asked the questions receives an email notifying them that a case was created from their question. The email provides the case number and a link to the case. Agents can respond to the question directly from the case feed using the action in the publisher. When agents find a solution, they can respond to questions directly from the console, and the customer sees the agent’s response on the question or in the My Cases view. Agents choose whether the reply is visible to the Experience Cloud site, or only to the customer who asked the question. The Salesforce Case object forms the base of the Case Management capability of Service Cloud which helps improve the overall user experience for both customers and staff. The Salesforce Question-to-Case Connector further enhances efficiency by synchronizing questions generated in Jive with cases in the Salesforce org. This integration promotes a unified approach to managing customer inquiries. As a valuable tool in Salesforce, Question-to-Case facilitates the escalation of questions to cases, enabling agents to promptly address open issues. Community users, granted moderator permissions, also possess the ability to escalate questions to cases. Salesforce Case Management allows us to record, track and solve customer issues by sales, service and support. It includes the ability to create cases either from an email (email to case), from a web form (web to case), or manually. Cases are the backbone of Service Cloud. Cases help you track and resolve customer issues, showing you a complete view of the customer. To harness the benefits of Question-to-Case, ensure its activation in your Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce org, or both. In the broader context of case creation in Salesforce Service Cloud, cases can be initiated through various channels, such as online case logging, Case Support (CTI), and Email Support. Once a case is generated, the subsequent step involves assigning it to a sales agent or queue for efficient resolution. How do I create a case hierarchy in Salesforce? To create a case that is automatically associated with a case whose detail page you’re viewing, click the New button on the Related Cases related list. From the New dropdown button, Classic users can choose to create either a blank case or a case with information from the parent case.

Salesforce Custom Objects
04Feb

Salesforce Custom Objects Explained

What are custom objects in Salesforce? These include accounts, cases, contacts, and opportunities—the kind of information that almost every organization is keeping tabs on in Salesforce. Custom objects go beyond what comes out of the box. They’re objects you create to handle the specific needs of your organization or industry. A custom object is an object that you can create yourself to store information specific to your organization. Custom objects can have their own fields, relationships, and logic, and can be customized to meet your specific business needs. What is an example of a custom object? The following are good examples of a custom object: A pet kennel wants to keep track of the pets they board, associate each pet with their owners, and keep track of activities related to each pet. They create a Pets object with Pet name as the primary display property and Pet type as a secondary property. Accounts, contacts, chatter, Leads etc. Custom Objects : Salesforce Custom objects are those which are created by the user. We can create any number of custom objects. Example :- Student info, college etc. What is the difference between standard Objects and custom objects in Salesforce? Standard objects, such as accounts, cases, contacts, and opportunities, are included with Salesforce by default. Custom objects are based on standard objects, extend standard functionality, and store information that is unique to an org. How many custom objects are there in Salesforce? There is a hard limit of 3,000 total custom objects per Organization, regardless of whether they’re created within the Org or installed from the AppExchange. For example, with Unlimited Edition, you could create 2,000 custom objects and install an additional 1,000 objects. How many fields can a custom object have? Custom objects have one or more fields that store data associated with a custom object record. There is a maximum of 1024 fields allowed for a single custom object. With Salesforce Essentials you get up to 100 custom fields per object. If you are looking to increase the limit, you would want to upgrade your Salesforce Edition. How many ways can you create a custom object in Salesforce? There are two versions of the Salesforce applications – Lightning and Classic. On both of these versions, there are two ways of creating custom objects and fields. The traditional and easiest way is through the salesforce object manager. Why do we create custom objects? You can map data from your business systems and third-party applications onto these standard objects. However, being limited to a small set of standard objects can make managing all your data cumbersome. Custom Objects enable you to model and manage your data in a way that reflects your unique business. How do I merge two custom Objects in Salesforce? Can you merge custom object records in Salesforce? No, you can’t really merge custom object records as there is no standard salesforce functionality for the same. You will have to build your own logic for this. How do I convert a custom object to a standard object in Salesforce? You cannot convert a custom object to a standard object in salesforce. However review below references which can help you. What is a big object vs custom object? Standard big objects are available out of the box and cannot be customized. Custom big objects – New objects that you create to store information unique to your org. Custom big objects extend the functionality that Lightning Platform provides.
