Use Case: Salesforce integration with Digital.ai Agility
Problem statement: The support/service team receives a customer request. The support/service team recognizes it as an ‘enhancement request’. They, then, send this requirement to the Project Manager for approval. The Project Manager asks for customer emails and more context of the communication between sales team and customer. The sales team then shares the requisite details with the Project Manager who approves the request and shares the details with the engineering team. The support/service team, meanwhile, has no idea as to when the ‘enhancement request’ will be completed.
Solution: When Salesforce and Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne) are integrated, the support, service, sales, and engineering teams can seamlessly coordinate with each other from their native systems. There is no need to coordinate over a customer requirement on calls or emails. This helps in cutting down on miscommunication and gives complete visibility to the customer-facing teams and backend teams in each other’s tasks.
- The support team gets a ticket from the customer which they classify as an ‘enhancement request’.
- The support team logs this ‘enhancement request’ as an ‘idea’ in Salesforce with status ‘Pending for approval’. The support team details out the idea in the description column.
- The sales team, also using Salesforce, further details out the context of the request, the urgency of the request, and attaches customer emails for the Project Manager and engineering teams’ reference.
- The ‘idea’ synchronizes to Digital.ai Agility as a ‘backlog item’ with status ‘New’. The Engineering Project Manager approves the ‘enhancement request’ by changing the status of ‘backlog item’ to ‘Accepted/In Progress’ and assigns a delivery date for the ‘backlog item’.
- The delivery date gets updated in Salesforce as well. The support/service and sales team are, therefore, updated with the due delivery date.
- The engineering team starts work on the backlog item, tests it, and marks it as ‘complete’.
- The status of the ‘idea’ in Salesforce changes to ‘Ready for customer verification’.
- The support team responds to the customer that the enhancement request has been fulfilled and ready for verification.
