Record Types allow the Salesforce Administrator to manage multiple business processes, show different picklist values, and Page Layouts to different Salesforce Users. Learn more about creating Record Types
Record Types can be used in various ways, for example:
- Create Record Types for Leads to differentiate your regular sales deals from your Partner’s generated leads, and offer different picklist values for each.
- Create Record Types for Cases to display different Page Layouts for Customer support cases versus billing cases.
- Create Record Types for Activity Events to differentiate scheduled events via OnceHub from scheduled events via direct sales calls by using different picklist values.
When Salesforce Record Types for Activity Events, Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Case records are configured on your Booking page, the OnceHub connector for Salesforce will create a new record according your settings. This means that when a booking is made, new records are created with an associated Record Type in your Salesforce organization.
Important When you use Record types with Lead or Case processes, OnceHub uses the default values set under the Lead process or Case process for the Lead status or Case status standard fields. This is set automatically in the Field validation step of the Salesforce connector setup process.
In this article, you'll learn how to configure Salesforce Record Types for Booking pages you own or edit and how to assign the Record Type to the Salesforce User's Profile.
