WordPress-to-Lead for Salesforce CRM creates a solid integration between your WordPress install(s) and your Salesforce.com account!

== Description ==

WordPress-to-Lead for Salesforce CRM creates a solid integration between your WordPress install(s) and your Salesforce CRM account! People can enter a contact form on your site, and the lead (or case) goes straight into Salesforce CRM: no more copy pasting lead info, no more missing leads: each and every one of them is in Salesforce.com for you to follow up.

You can fully configure all the different settings for the form, and then use a shortcode to insert the form into your posts or pages, or you can use the widget that comes with the plugin and insert the form into your sidebar!

Please see this WordPress-to-Lead Demo video to get a full grasp of the power this plugin holds, and visit the Salesforce WordPress page. Check out this page to learn more about CRM for Small Business.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or install via the Add New Plugin menu

  3. Enter your Salesforce.com Organisation ID on the WordPress-to-Lead plugin configuration page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I setup Web to Lead/Case for my SalesForce Account? =

Setting Up Web-to-Lead

Setting Up Web-to-Case

= How do I setup a Web to Case form? = Choose Web to Case in the Form Settings (bottom of the form editor page).

= Where do I find my Salesforce organisation ID? = To find your Organisation ID, do the following steps:

  1. Log in to your SalesForce.com account
  2. Go to Setup » Company Profile » Company Information
  3. You'll find the Organisation ID in the lower right hand corner of your screen

= How do I use the checkbox field? = Like any other field. Note that it is a single checkbox, not a checkbox list.

Checkbox lists and radio buttons will be in a future update.

= How do I use the select (picklist) field? = Use it like any other field -- however you'll need to specify the options (and optional values) for each field using the options box (far right).

The value box for a select list is the default value (the one selected on a fresh form).

` //Use same data for display and value passed to SF one|two|three

//Use different data for display and value passed to SF, require user to select something (assuming field is required) Select One: | name1:value1 | name2:value2

//Use different data for display and value passed to SF name1:value1 | name2:value2 `

Note: Leading & trailing whitespace is trimmed when names and values are displayed, so feel free to use spaces to make things more readable.

= How do I use the HTML field? =

  1. Optionally enter a label (field will display full width if a label is not entered.
  2. Enter HTML code in the options box.

Note: You cannot use the HTML box to enter a custom field, as only "known" fields are submitted to salesforce and HTML fields are not submitted (just displayed). Be careful to avoid the <form> or </form> tags in an HTML field as they will likely break your form.

= How do I change the order of input fields? = Right now, the only way of ordering input fields is by changing the position numbers on the right hand side of the input fields table in the admin settings. Drag and drop re-ordering is on the roadmap.

= How do I apply my own styling to the form? = Instructions for disabling or overriding the CSS are included on the plugin settings screen (see Style Settings).

= Is it possible to make multiple forms with this plugin? = Yes, version 2.0 introduces this feature. Version 2.1 allows you to duplicate forms to reduce re-entering data.

= How do I change the Lead Source that shows up in Salesforce? = You can easily change this by going into the WordPress-to-Lead admin panel and, under form settings, changing the Lead Source for that form. Daddy Analytics uers can set this to blank to have it automatically filled.

= Can I change the submit button? = Of course you can! Go into the WordPress-to-Lead admin panel and, under Form Settings, change the text from the default "Submit" to whatever you'd like it to be!

= Will I lose data if I upgrade to 2.0? Do I need to change anything? = Nope! The plugin will migrate your existing data to the new format. Your existing form will become Form 1 and be output by the [salesforce] shortcode).

= How do I show my other forms? = Just use [salesforce form="X"] (X is the form number). Or select a form number in the widget.

= I put my campaign name in the Campaign_ID field but it's not working = The Campaign_ID field requires the Campaign ID -- the name will not work. To find the Campaign_ID, go your the campaign page and look in the URL bar for the ID:

e.g. https://salesforce.com/621U000000IJat

In this example, 621U000000IJat is the Campaign_ID -- make sure you use the ID from the campaign you want the lead attached to and not the example ID shown here.

= Does the return/thanks URL have to be on my site? = No, as long as it's a valid URL it will work. However it should be an absolute URL regardless of where it is located. e.g. http://yoursite.com/thanks/ not just /thanks/

= Is there a limit to how many leads can be captured? = While the plugin has no limits, SalesForce does limit API calls per day:

The daily limit for Web-to-Lead requests is 500. If your organization exceeds its daily Web-to-Lead limit, the Default Lead Creator (specified in the Web-to-Lead setup page) receives an email containing the additional lead information.

== Other Notes ==

= Filters =

salesforce_w2l_api_url

Change the API url the plugin posts data to

` add_filter( 'salesforce_w2l_api_url', 'my_w2l_api_url' );

function my_w2l_api_url( $url ){ return 'https://my.custom-api-url.com/something/'; } `

salesforce_w2l_form_html

HTML of the form before it's returned to WordPress for display

salesforce_w2l_cc_user_from_name

Change from name (user confirmation)

salesforce_w2l_cc_user_from_email

Change from email (user confirmation)

salesforce_w2l_cc_admin_from_name

Change from name (admin notification)

salesforce_w2l_cc_admin_from_email

Change from email (admin notification)

salesforce_w2l_cc_admin_email_list

Adding this code to your functions.php file will add 3 emails to the list. You can add as many as you want and each will get an admin notification email.

` add_filter('salesforce_w2l_cc_admin_email_list','salesforce_add_emails');

function salesforce_add_emails( $emails ){

//uncomment line below to remove site admin //unset($emails[0]);

$emails[]='email@domain.com'; $emails[]='email2@domain.com'; $emails[]='email3@domain.com';

return $emails; } `
