Setup Guide for Salesforce Admins
Taskfeed Setup Guide
Welcome to Taskfeed!
This guide will help you install and set up Taskfeed in your Salesforce Org.
We are native to Salesforce and Lightning Ready
Taskfeed is 100% native to the Salesforce Platform and every feature is supported in Lightning Experience. Taskfeed works the same way in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning.
Who does what?
Salesforce Administrators install and configure Taskfeed
“Taskfeed Admin Users” create and Manage Taskfeed Templates
“Taskfeed Standard Users” (business users) use Taskfeed regularly as part of their work
Installation and Setup:
Before installing Taskfeed, please read our System Requirements.
| User Permissions Needed | |
|---|---|
| To install packages: | Download AppExchange Packages |
Install Taskfeed in a Sandbox or Production environment. We recommend installing any AppExchange package in a Sandbox first.
Once Taskfeed is installed, you must grant the relevant Salesforce users access to Taskfeed:
When you install Taskfeed in a Salesforce Production environment, you must assign a Taskfeed License to anyone who needs to have access to Taskfeed;
Additionally, those users also require a Taskfeed Permission Set in order to see and work with Taskfeed objects in Salesforce.
Learn the different types of License and Permission Sets available with Taskfeed.
Note: Sandbox environments are for testing and don’t contain Taskfeed Licenses, only permission sets.Configuring Taskfeed:
Follow our Setup & Configuration instructions to continue setting up the basics of Taskfeed.
Taskfeed is already related to Salesforce Accounts and Opportunities via a Lookup Relationship.
To view a list of Account and Opportunity-related Boards and Tasks:- Add Taskfeed Related Lists to Account and Opportunity Page Layouts.
- Manage Boards from Account and Opportunity records in Lightning or in Classic.
It’s a quick drag-and-drop job a Salesforce Admin can do in 5 minutes or less.
External Sharing
Configure External Sharing. This is one of our most sought-after features and allows Taskfeed users to seamlessly share a Taskfeed Board with anyone outside of Salesforce, giving viewers a real-time, read-only perspective of the project.
To use this feature, configure External Sharing for your Org first.
Once enabled, Taskfeed users can share boards that contain a public link and also use the Calendar Sync feature to view their tasks in external calendar applications such as Google Calendar, Apple, Outlook, etc.
Customizing Taskfeed:
Taskfeed is the ideal solution for Customer Onboarding and also highly customizable. You can relate Taskfeed to other Standard and custom objects, create custom fields, colour-coded categories, labels, and even assign people to tasks automatically. You can customize Taskfeed the same way you customize Taskfeed to suit your business requirements.
Visit the Setup & Configuration, Customizing Taskfeed, and Process Automation sections to find use cases and guides to help you customize Taskfeed to your business requirements.
