Hello!

 

On the cadence record in the related tab we can see the cadence steps but they are out of order. Is there anyway to see these steps in order?

    Hi Elizabeth, I would update the Cadence page layout, go to the Cadence Steps related list and see if you can change the sort order for how the steps are listed. It looks like your Step Title is in order, so if you sort on that field in ascending order, that will hopefully do the trick.

I am trying to customize the picklist option "Reasons" when a user clicks "Remove from Cadence" for contact records. In researching, is it really not customizable? What is the easiest way to replace these with ones that are relevant to our business?

 I have a cadence, and I want to add some conditions that specify which leads can be added to that cadence. Can you please tell me where to add those rules?   for example:  The leads which satisfy following condition can be added to cadence   

  • Lead Category = Marketing Lead
  • Lead Type = Sales
  • Lead Status = New
  • Latest Sales Activity is null

Please tell me how to achieve this using standard functionality ?

    You can use automated action given by the Sales Engagement feature. You can watch the same on my youtube series on Sales Engagement.

Hi,  

 

I've been trying out Sales Engagement in a developer org and I'm wondering how the lightning page component works exactly. When I add contacts to a cadence, I see the activities there when I'm on an account for example, but I also see a button for 'load engagements' for the last 90 days. Am I correct to assume that this hows how often that contact has engaged with anything like Email / Tasks / Events?

What I'm trying to figure out, is if it's something that'll only cause more confusion for our users, should we want to implement it in the future. We use Einstein Activity Capture but we don't want to use the other features like Voice etc.  

 

Any experience with Cadences / Sales Engagement?  

 

Thanks!

    correct, the Load Engagements button will expand to display five categories - calls, emails sent, email replies, link clicks, and opens. You can then click on those icons to further expand the timeline to see related records.  

    It's basically what you see in the Activity Timeline but in a different format. 

     

    The setup for Sales Engagement is fairly customizable in that you don't have to turn on everything if you don't want to... we only use it with EAC for emails. We don't have a telephony solution connected to it, I never turned on Insights because I think it's garbage, we didn't do lead scoring.. you really only need to focus on the Automate and Email tabs of the setup.

Hello All,    I've built a simply sales cadence for an email sequence. It goes like this:

  1. Automated email sent
  2. Email Reply - wait for 7 days (advance when target engages)
  3. If "No" to Email reply, send automated email
    1. Start this step 1 day after, at 10am.

The intention is that it will listen for email replies and only send a follow up email if there is no reply. I wanted it to listen for 7 days, then actually send a follow up email 1 day after that (so 8 days later).    However, what happened was follow up emails were sent to the entire group 2 days after the initial email.     Any ideas on what went wrong? Am I misunderstanding the cadence steps?    Thank you,  Clay

    The issue is what "wait for 7 days (advance when target engages)" actually does. That setting is not a 7-day listening window that must fully elapse before moving on. It's a maximum wait with an early-exit on engagement. But critically, the branching logic evaluates as soon as the step's own timing conditions are met, and your next step's schedule then applies from that evaluation point, not from the end of a full 7-day window.

     

    What you intended was: listen 7 days, then wait 1 more day, then send at day 8. What actually happened is the branch evaluated much sooner and your "1 day after at 10am" scheduling kicked in from that earlier point, landing your follow-up emails on day 2.

    The specific mechanic causing the day-2 send is the interaction between the wait duration on the listener step and the start timing on the next step. Your step 3 is configured to start 1 day after at 10am. That "1 day after" is relative to when the previous step completes or branches, not relative to the full 7-day window expiring. Since the No-reply branch evaluated at the end of day 1 rather than day 7, adding your 1-day offset produced a day-2 send for everyone who hadn't replied.

     

    Here's how to get the behavior you actually want.

    The cleanest fix is to consolidate the timing into a single place rather than splitting it across the listener duration and the next step's start offset. Set your wait/listen step to the full 8 days if you want the follow-up on day 8, and set the follow-up email step to send immediately when the No branch is taken rather than adding another day offset. That way there's one number controlling the timing and no compounding or mis-anchoring between two settings.

     

    Alternatively, keep the 7-day listen but change step 3's timing from "1 day after" to a same-day send, then verify in a test run when the branch actually fires. The reason I'd lean toward consolidating instead is that it removes the ambiguity entirely rather than relying on you correctly predicting the anchor point.

    Before you rebuild, do this diagnostic: pull up one of the targets who got the follow-up on day 2 and look at their cadence step history. It'll show you the exact timestamp when the listener step completed and when the branch was taken. That timestamp tells you definitively what the "1 day after" was anchoring to, and confirms whether the wait step exited early or the offset anchored somewhere you didn't expect. That's worth doing so you're fixing the actual mechanic rather than guessing.

     

    Also worth checking: confirm the wait step is genuinely configured for 7 days and not carrying a default that got overridden when you set the branch conditions. It's easy for the duration to not save as expected when you're also configuring the engagement-based advance on the same step.

     

    Test the rebuilt cadence on a small group of two or three targets before running it on your full list, so you can watch the actual send timing rather than discovering it at scale again.

We’re currently testing Zoom Phone with Salesforce Sales Engagement (Cadence) and have run into an issue with call logging. 

 

When a user clicks dial, Salesforce’s “Log a Call” screen appears as expected. However, the logged Zoom Phone call log is not being associated with the existing Cadence task. 

 

Additionally, Zoom Phone provides a call disposition feature, but when used, it creates a new task instead of updating/completing the existing Cadence task.(Based on config, we can enable/disable this feature to create a seperate task for Zoom Phone calls) 

 

Questions:

  • Is there a way to associate Zoom Phone call logs with the existing Cadence task?
  • Can Zoom call dispositions be tied back to the Cadence task instead of creating a new one?
  • Are there any recommended best practices or workarounds for this integration?

Appreciate any guidance or insights from others who have implemented this setup. 

 

Thank you!

    We've run into similar call logging scenarios when integrating telephony with Salesforce. In many cases, the phone system creates its own Task record, which doesn't automatically update the existing Sales Engagement Cadence task. 

    If keeping call logs tied to the same Salesforce workflow is important, it's worth looking at how the CTI integration handles task updates and activity logging. 360 CTI is one option that supports Salesforce-native call logging and configurable activity association, so it may be useful if you're evaluating alternatives or need more flexibility than your current setup provides. 

    It would also be interesting to hear if anyone has been able to achieve this with Zoom Phone using configuration alone.

Hello - I can't track down documentation for this, and I'm trying to understand how listeners and step timing interaction. I am also receiving an error when I try to set the listener for less than 24 hours (it seems) between automated steps.  

 

Question 1:

  • Is this a known limitation that you need 24 hours between automated email steps?
    • If it's manual step (call or email) can you use less than 24 hours?

 

Question 2 (which is my main workflow/question):

  • Using the example workflow/scenario below, how do I need to setup the listener and follow step timing? 
    • Do I need to set the next step to "immediately" or should it be set to "12 hours" as per the following example?
  • Example
    • Step 1: Automated Email immediately after added to cadence
    • Step 2: Listen for "email link clicked" for 12 hours and proceed to next step after 12 hours
    • Step 3: Send automated email directly after listener expires if link is NOT clicked, otherwise end cadence if it was after time expires.

 

This is a false example, as the case I am trying to get after is actually 24 hours; however, when I was trying to test via an expedited test cadence using 2 through 12 hour timing, I received the 24 hour error, hence the test example I am using, and the additional question above.

    Hi @Dana Breakstone,

    Based on my experience with Sales Engagement Cadences:

    Question 1

     

    The 24-hour restriction generally applies when you have consecutive

    automated email steps. Salesforce enforces sending limits and cadence timing rules to prevent back-to-back automated emails within a short period. Manual steps (such as Call, Custom Task, or Manual Email) are typically more flexible and don't always have the same restriction, although other cadence rules may still apply.

    Question 2

     

    For your workflow, the listener duration and the next step timing work together. If your listener is configured to monitor

    Email Link Clicked for 12 hours, then the follow-up automated email should generally be configured to occur immediately after the listener expires, rather than adding another 12-hour wait.

    For example:

    1. Automated Email (Immediately)
    2. Listener: Email Link Clicked (Wait 12 hours)
      • If clicked → End Cadence (or branch accordingly)
      • If not clicked after 12 hours → Continue
    3. Automated Email (Immediately after listener expiration)

    This avoids introducing an unnecessary additional delay. If you set Step 3 to "12 hours," the prospect would actually wait approximately 24 hours (12-hour listener + another 12-hour delay).

    If you're seeing the 24-hour validation even during testing with shorter intervals, it may be due to the platform's minimum interval requirement between automated email actions rather than the listener itself. I'd be interested to know if anyone has found an official Salesforce document that explains this validation in detail.

How can I get notifications when there is a new product update in Salesforce spiff? At the moment, this is only recorded in the documentation, but there is no proactive notification sent anywhere.

    Hi Isma, I'm not a Spiff user, but if Spiff follows the same release best practices as other Salesforce products, the best way to learn the details of product updates is to view the official release notes pages:

    https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.rn_spiff_2026.htm&type=5

    I am not aware of proactive notifications, although some products have release readiness emails you can subscribe to. It's part of the admin's responsibilities to proactively inform themselves on product changes whenever release notes become available! Hope this helps.

We have a business requirement where we need to calculate the Quota for each territory . For quota we have certain matrices data which is available at an account level. We have done the territory planning and rolled up the data for each territory and then stamp those territories to do quota planning on that. For contribution of each territory we need to divide the territory rolled up values to the total of that matric at the country level. The sum of all columns is not possible as of today on quota planning screen . Is there a way for me to create a calculated attribute in territory alignment to compute this national sum.

Hello, I have created a Cadence with 2.0 Builder that fails to enter a track regardless of call result. Main track is set with make a call first, where depending on call result will either go to positive through meaningful connect or negative with left voicemail for a more generic outreach. With a manual call logged or either through a third party app nothing will trigger the cadence to go down either track.
