Client Requirements

The client’s primary objective was to streamline communication processes by enabling SMS and email functionality directly from Salesforce. While Salesforce offers robust features for tasks and reporting, there was no native functionality for sending SMS. This posed a significant challenge, as efficient communication is vital in event management for updates, reminders, and real-time information dissemination.

Challenges

Limited Native SMS Functionality in Salesforce

  • Salesforce lacked built-in features for sending SMS, posing a significant challenge for efficient communication in event management.
  • The absence of native SMS capabilities prompted the exploration of third-party integrations.

Selection of Optimal Third-Party Integration

  • Identifying and selecting the most suitable third-party integration for sending SMS.
  • Ensuring reliability and scalability in the chosen solution to meet the client’s communication needs.

Solutions

Twilio Integration

The integration with Twilio was designed to seamlessly connect Salesforce with the SMS gateway. Custom triggers and workflows were created to automate SMS sending based on specific events or conditions within Salesforce, streamlining communication processes.

Lightning Web Components

To enhance the user experience, we developed a user-friendly interface using Lightning Web Components (LWCs). The LWCs were designed with a focus on usability, incorporating features such as easy message composition, template selection, and real-time status updates. The responsive design ensured compatibility across various devices, offering a seamless experience for users on both desktop and mobile platforms.

Dedicated SMS Tab

A dedicated SMS tab was created within Salesforce, serving as a centralized location for all SMS-related activities. This tab offered comprehensive tracking and management capabilities, displaying message status, recipient details, and other relevant information. Custom reports and dashboards were developed to provide insights into communication effectiveness and engagement metrics.
