Hi everyone,

We've encountered a limitation with Salesforce List Emails

: file attachments (e.g. PDFs) are always sent as HTML download links instead of native attachments. This can lead to confusion for recipients and often requires workarounds such as SharePoint links. According to Salesforce, this behaviour is currently by design and cannot be configured. 

 

 

I've therefore submitted an IdeaExchange proposal requesting a configurable option to send either native file attachments or HTML links.

If this would also be valuable for your organization, I would greatly appreciate your vote:

👉 Enhancement Request: Support Native File Attachments in List Emails | IdeaExchange

  

 

Thank you for your support! 😊

I am in the process of trying to do some major clean up of unused reports.  When I attempt to delete a report, if the report is referenced by a Dashboard, the message that appears is not helpful at all...other than telling me I can't delete the report because it is referenced by one or more Dashboards. It would be great if the message could tell me which Dashboard(s) the report is referenced in.  I know I could create a SOQL query and utilize some other tools to gather this information, but this seems like it shouldn't be that hard.

Hi,  

We tested transferring attachments from Leadoo forms to Salesforce using the MC Next Form Handler in sandbox environment. The attachments were transferred as URLs into a Rich Text field type, and users could open attachment links directly in their browsers. The test was successful, so we moved the solution to production. 

 

To our surprise, the MC Next Form Handler did not support the Rich Text field type in the production environment. Salesforce Support provided the following information: "At this time, there is no confirmed ETA for when Rich Text field support will become available in the Marketing Cloud Next Form Handler." 

 

We hope that the use of rich text fields in the MC Next Form Handler will be enabled as soon as possible also in production environment. The Text Area (long) field type is not user-friendly for this purpose, as attachment URLs must be copied into the browser one by one.

Hey All, Has anyone experienced an issue with multi-Record-Type inline editing

and picklist restrictions? 

When editing normally, the picklist correctly shows only values allowed for that Record Type. 

However, in a list view containing multiple Record Types, inline editing shows values from both Record Types. 

Users can also select and save a value that should be restricted to another Record Type. 

Is this a known limitation/issue, or is there a configuration/workaround to enforce Record Type-specific picklist values?  

 

Validation rule can't be used as we have 100+ Record types with multiple objects & picklist fields.

Is there a way to adjust the ranges on the leadership dashboard interface for the "Attainment Tracking by Rep" tile? The ranges are not what I want to display, I would like to change Below Quota to <80% rather than<95% and On Track for Quota to be 80-100% instead of 95-100%.

    Hi Logan!

    If this is the standard SPIFF Leadership Dashboard tile, the ranges shown in “Attainment Tracking by Rep” are generally driven by the dashboard/component configuration rather than being editable directly from the tile itself.

    I’d check the underlying dashboard/report or CRM Analytics dataset for the logic defining the attainment bands. If those thresholds are hard-coded in the managed content, they may not be directly customizable.

    If you can share which Salesforce product/package the SPIFF Leadership Dashboard comes from and whether you have Edit access to the dashboard, we can narrow down where those 95% / 100% thresholds are being defined.

    Hi Pete,

    If you’re referring to Sales Engagement cadences, I’d first check whether the cadence target/activity data is exposed through the standard reporting objects in your Salesforce edition and configuration. Some cadence metrics, especially email opens and clicks, may not be available as standard report fields even though they are visible in the Sales Engagement UI.

    I’d also verify that the user has the required Sales Engagement permissions and that email tracking is enabled for the relevant emails.

    If the targets are visible in the cadence UI but not available in Reports, sharing which object/report type you’re using and which specific fields you’re trying to report on would help determine whether this is a reporting limitation or a configuration issue.

We need the ability to enter actual dollar amounts at the gift designation level, not just percentages, when staff know the exact amounts that should be allocated to each designation.  Calculating allocations based solely on percentages can result in rounding differences, causing the allocated amounts to differ from the donor's intended distribution.  The gift commitment's designation split amount feeds to the GL.  Whan actual payments arrive, they come in at the correct whole dollar amount.  Those payments will fail to reconcile against the percentage-derived commitment values.  This is a problem for any gift split across multiple designations, where the total doesn't divide evenly.  Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?

    Hi Colleen, 

     

    If the Gift Commitment designation split is percentage-based, rounding can definitely create a difference between the intended whole-dollar allocation and the amount calculated for each designation. 

     

    As a workaround, you could consider capturing the donor-intended dollar amounts separately and using automation to calculate the designation percentages from those amounts, with one designation absorbing any rounding remainder so the final allocated amounts always equal the original gift amount. 

     

    For example, for a $100 gift split as $33, $33, and $34, the system could calculate the percentages but explicitly assign the remaining $1 to the final designation rather than relying on independent percentage rounding. 

     

    However, if the designation split amount is what ultimately feeds the GL and payment reconciliation, I’d be cautious about changing those values through unsupported automation. It would be worth confirming whether your current Nonprofit Cloud/Gift Management version provides a supported way to override designation split amounts. 

     

    If anyone has implemented a supported dollar-based allocation or reconciliation workaround for this scenario, that would be useful to compare.

What happened to being able to view the "Open Count" in the My Feed in Sales Engagement???? This was a crucial item for my business development team in seeing quickly who is opening emails multiple times - and a trigger for them to reach out in a more personal way and win deals. Opening each item in My Feed and going to the Engagement tab for every single one is a GIANT time killer.
