Salesforce scheduling buttons for Person Accounts provide a quick method to schedule on behalf of a Customer. A schedule button on the Person Account record allows quick scheduling with the Person Account's related Contact record. Bookings made via these buttons are automatically added to the Salesforce record that the booking is scheduled from.

Salesforce scheduling buttons can be configured to prepopulate the booking form, or skip it altogether. This is enabled by the optional mapping step in the Salesforce setup wizard, where you can define the mapping between Salesforce record fields and OnceHub Booking form fields.

In this article, you will learn how to add the Schedule with Me button to the Person Account Page Layouts in Salesforce.

Requirements

To add the Schedule with Me button to the Person Account Page Layouts in Salesforce, you will need:

• A Salesforce Administrator for your organization. 
• A completed Salesforce connector setup in OnceHub.
• A OnceHub User connected to Salesforce.

1. Sign in to Salesforce as your API user.

Now you can create the button to add to the Person Accounts Page Layout. The button will retrieve the Contact ID from the custom Contact Lookup field. When clicked, you will be able to make a booking on behalf of the Contact added to that Person Account.

1. Go to the Setup page.
2. In the Platform Tools section, go to Objects and Fields -> Object Manager.
3. Select the Account object. 
4. Select Buttons, Links, and Actions -> New Button or Link (Figure 6).

5. In the New Button or Link pane, enter the following information:
   • Label: Schedule with related Contact
   • Name: Schedule_with_related_Contact
   • Description: This button allows you to schedule meetings on behalf of the Contact related to this Person Account record.
   • Display Type: Detail Page Button 
   • Behavior: Display in new window
   • Content Source: URL

6. Copy the following link and paste it in the large text box (Figure 7).

7. Replace the placeholder URL (Figure 8) with the Public link of the Booking page or Master page that you want to use for the new button. You can find the Public link in the Booking page Overview section or Master page Overview section.
   Figure 8: Placeholder URL text For example, if you want to create a button for a Booking page with the Public link https://go.oncehub.com/danafisher, your finished link would be: 
   
   https://go.oncehub.com/danafisher?soSkip=1&sosfLeadId={!Lead.Id}&sosfContactId={!Account.Contact_IDid__c}&sosfCaseId={!Case.Id}

8. Click Save.

Adding a button to Salesforce Page Layouts

1. Go to the Setup page. 
2. Enter Person Accounts in the Quick Find box.
3. Select Page Layouts.
4. In the Layout editor, select Mobile & Lightning Actions.
