Salesforce Cloud is a customer relationship management (CRM) platform for customer service and support teams, enabling users to automate service processes, streamline workflows and find key articles.
Route detailed ticket alerts from Salesforce Cloud to the right users in Squadcast.
Navigate to Services -> Service Overview -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click Add.
2. Select Salesforce Cloud. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within Salesforce Cloud. Finish by clicking Add Alert Source -> Done.
Important:
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.
An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
