Introduction
This document presents an installation and user guide towards a Salesforce Managed packaged app developed and hosted privately on Salesforce.com. If you are interested in Sales Insights in your Salesforce Account, you first have to link your Activate ABM™ account to your Salesforce Instance.
Authorize Salesforce
Once logged into Activate ABM™, go to User Menu > Integration
Click the plus icon on the Salesforce tile
You will be directed to authenticate your Salesforce.com with Madison Logic. You will need to enter your Salesforce.com username and password, and grant permission for Madison Logic to leverage your Salesforce.com data. You must have admin rights in Salesforce in order to integrate it with Activate ABM™.
Manage Integration
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be brought to the Manage Integration Page for Salesforce. Click "Sales Insights Setup" in the left hand menu.
Click the toggle to ON where it says "Integrate Sales Insights in Salesforce"
The private Madison Logic Salesforce package URL and authorization code can be found once you toggle ON "Integration Sales Insights in Salesforce". Please be sure to pass both the package url and authorization code to your Salesforce Admin to complete the installation.
