SupportLogic Salesforce Plugin

With the installation of the SFDC plugin by SupportLogic, actions taken within SupportLogic are synchronized in Salesforce. The list of actions that users can take are:

 

  • Update case status
  • Update case priority
  • Update case owner
  • Add case notes (Both public and private)
  • Send emails to cc and bcc users while adding the case notes
  • Escalate a case
  • Add Case Comments
  • Delete Case Comment
  • Add case Reply
  • Delete Case Reply

  • Sync sentiment score value


Not all of these actions may be configured for your instance of SupportLogic. 


The installation of the SFDC Plugin for all users, provides your users with the ability to access classes which are required to perform write back operations from SupportLogic to Salesforce. With the installation of the SFDC Plugin there are two main UI components that become available within Salesforce:
