To Configure RG Email Sidebar Dashboards in Salesforce¶

The prerequisite for configuring RG Email Sidebar Dashboards for a Salesforce user account is to install Revenue Grid managed package for the Salesforce Org. Follow the instructions in this article to configure the prerequisites.

After My Domain was configured and RG managed package was set up, proceed to Salesforce configuration steps below.

Tip

Please perform the following steps most accurately, since a mistake here is likely to result in misconfiguration errors

1. Set up tenant URLs¶

For setting up tenant URLs, the Salesforce Admin needs RevenueGridTenantUrl and ServerSyncTenantUrl. To generate RevenueGridTenantUrl and ServerSyncTenantUrl required for RG Managed Package configuration, you can either contact our Support team or follow the instructions provided in the section below.

How to generate tenant URLs¶

Open RG Email Sidebar, click the Menu button, go to Sync settings
Next, the Revenue Grid Sync Settings page will open. Find the address bar at the top of the page

In the address bar, you’ll see the address of the page. Select the address starting with http and ending with .com/. Ignore everything after .com/

The selected address is your ServerSyncTenantUrl.

To generate RevenueGridTenantUrl remove the “-sync”-part from the address and the slash ( / ) after .com

In the very end, you should get the URLs that follow this pattern:

RevenueGridTenantUrl
https://[ your tenant ].revenuegrid.com
ServerSyncTenantUrl
https://[ your tenant ]-sync.revenuegrid.com/

Important

Make sure there is a slash / character at the end of the ServerSyncTenantUrl value and there is no slash / character at the end of the RevenueGridTenantUrl value. Otherwise, the users won’t get Revenue Grid Widget content with no issue cause indication

How to set up tenant URLs¶

Switch to Lightning Experience as described in this Salesforce article
Open Salesforce Setup settings
In the Quick Search field type “Custom Settings”
Click Manage button next to the CanvasAppSettings label; press Ctrl+F to find it quickly if the list is big

Find the settings RevenueGridTenantUrl and ServerSyncTenantUrl, then click Edit to modify them:

Update RevenueGridTenantUrl with a specific RG tenant URL
Update ServerSyncTenantUrl with a specific RG tenant URL

Important

Make sure there is a slash / character at the end of the ServerSyncTenantUrl value and there is no slash / character at the end of the RevenueGridTenantUrl value. Otherwise, the users won’t get Revenue Grid Widget content with no issue cause indication

2. Set up user authorization¶

Switch to Lightning Experience as described in this Salesforce article
Click the Gear (Setup Menu) icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page to open Salesforce Setup menu
In Quick Search type “App Manager”
Click Manage next to InvisibleSuite App that has a Type Connected (Managed)

Tip

In case you cannot find the needed item InvisibleSuite - Connected (Managed) on the list, sort the list by Developer Name and look for Revenue Grid for Salesforce

On the next page, click Edit Policies
Set the value Admin approved users are pre-authorized in the picklist Permitted Users

Click Save to apply configuration updates
