Note: if your organization also has web store portals in place with Brilliant, orders sent to Salesforce Leads or Contacts directly from web store portals will not appear in the Brilliant for Salesforce app.

Your current budget amount will always appear in the header of the Brilliant Store app.

By default, Brilliant for Salesforce will create one Activity and one Task for each gift you send to a Lead or Contact.

1. Gift Sent! A completed task will be added to your Activities for a Lead or Contact when your gift is shipped to your client. This will allow you to see the order in the timeline and context of all of your past activities associated with them.

2. Follow Up on your gift. A task will be created when a gift is delivered to your recipient.

Slack Handle: If your admin has enabled our Slack integration, you can receive a notification via Slack when your gifts are delivered.

After our Slack integration has been enabled, you will need to save your Slack handle to your Account Settings so that you receive Slack notifications by default upon package delivery. To review how to enable our Slack integration, click here.

• A Batch Gift is where the same gift or item or set of items is sent to many recipients at the same time, from either one or multiple “senders” within your organization. If you would like to provide Brilliant with a dropship list instead of having your Salesforce users send individual gifts to each recipient in the batch, this is considered a Batch Gift

  • Whether an open “Follow Up” task should be created when the gift is delivered
  • What the due date of that task should be relative to the delivery date of the shipment
  • What the subject and description of that Follow Up task should be
    
    
• You will also need to provide a drop ship list using this template that includes the unique Salesforce ID of the recipient (e.g., 0031I00000dbbH2QAI) and the Salesforce username or email address of the person who will own the tasks associated with that shipment
