In this article you will find the advanced process to configure SalesForce for Brevo's plugin integration. This advanced configuration requires admin credential on your SalesForce account. If you have a dedicated person taking care of SalesForce installation and optimisation, you can share this article with him.

The configuration described in this article is a post-installation configuration. If you haven't installed the plugin yet and need some help to do so, please consult this article.

Time zone:

Brevo application has two way synchronization process and, if you want your data stay always relevant, you will need to setup up the same time zone for both SalesForce and Brevo. You can do it either via Brevo personal account Default Settings or as SalesForce's Administrator user via Company Profile – Company Information (Default Time Zone).

  

Permission Set:

Together with functionality Brevo application brings a permission set (Brevo User) with preconfigured permissions and visibilities to its own custom objects, fields, classes and visualforce pages.

SalesForce's Administrator can assign (Manage Users – Users – Permission Set Assignments) this permission set to SalesForce's users who will work with SensinBlue application or clone this permission set (Manage Users – Permission Sets – Clone Brevo User) to new one.

  

Also SalesForce's Administrator will need to set manual Read Object Permissions for specified objects:

• Brevo Campaigns Lists
• Brevo Individuals Statistic
• Brevo Links Statistics

This step will prevent users from manually creating/editing/deleting objects which were designed to keep Brevo statistics information for particular use.

• Create new permission set or clone Brevo User permission set, then go to edit mode and there you will find Object Settings block:

• Set object permission to Read for :
  • Brevo Campaigns Lists
  • Brevo Individuals Statistics
  • Brevo Links Statistics

  

• Brevo application uses standard SalesForce Campaign, Contact and Lead objects, so check if the user has permission to these objects. SalesForce's Administrator can configure permission by editing Object Settings for permission set.

• Go back to Permission Set Overview and head to Assigned App

• Move Brevo application to Enabled section.

• Save and Assign this permission set to the user as it was mentioned above or via Manage Assignments

Enable Translation:

• Go to Translation Settings page (Translation Workbench – Translation Settings) and Enable it.

• In edit mode activate English translation for chosen users:

• You will have nice labels for English picklists. Translations for other languages SalesForce's Administrator have to add separately.
