3.6. Link your iAdvize and Salesforce user profiles
The setting is almost finished! Before you can start using the iAdvize app in salesforce, you just have to link your Salesforce user profiles to iAdvize. There are two possibilities :
- your users have both user profiles into iAdvize and into Salesforce: you can manually link their profiles together
- your salesforce users do not have iAdvize user profiles: you can automatically create iAdvize user profiles based on your Salesforce user ones
3.7. Use the utility bar to keep the focus on the right customer
When using the utility bar (i.e. iAdvize in Salesforce) with several conversations at the same time, the screen behind follows: if the agent switches from a conversation A to a conversation B in the utility bar, then we keep the focus on the right customer record in relation to the right conversation behind.
To adapt the size of the iframe, you can do so by going into the Setup section then in the Platform tools
- App manager -> Find the App -> click on Edit
- App settings -> Utility items -> Add “chat iAdvize”
ℹ️ The optimal screen resolutions to apply are available in this article. |
3.8. Use the Record Types
If your setup in Salesforce registers several types of case (recordtype) then when you click on "open case" there is a small pop up in which you have to select one of the existing recordtypes. If there are no recordtypes then the default recordtype will be selected.
