This is somewhat of a technical post around Salesforce Activity Objects and their Relationships.
First there are 2 primary "native" Salesforce activity objects. Task and Events.
These can be queried individually OR via a "View" called ActivityHistory. These Activities can be reported against in Reports both Classic and Lightning.
Its important to understand while similar they are
Tracking additional information in Salesforce around Activity is very helpful for various Metrics.
For example if you want to track things like:
SalesDirector.ai analyzes a lot of data from CRM and Email, Calendar, Call Logs, and many other data sources.
Want to know....
If you want to see these fields inside your Salesforce you can simply create these fields in your Opportunity Object as "custom fields" and you can
One of the core philosophies that drive us at SalesDirector.ai is the belief that your revenue data (customer, sales, marketing and sales rep activity data) belongs to you - and that you should be able to access it anyway you like.
We've noticed an industry trend that locks-up and silos your revenue data in a way that prevents you from being able to access/manipulate/query or visualize your data the way you'd like. Most revenue intelligence

When you see a email link in SalesDirector.ai, or in general on the web for that matter, clicking a email link that composes an email just doesn’t work properly. (for nerds this as result of the mailto: protocol)
It will open the Mac mail program or some other mail server program on your computer.
For those that use Gmail, here is how to quickly change those preferences so that every time you
As you know, SalesDirector.ai automatically captures Meeting and Email information from Google or Microsoft Exchange/Office 365. It does this fully automated in the background, no plugins or anything to click, it then associates all this activity to the right Accounts or Opportunities within Salesforce, Dynamics, your CRM, etc... and/or also pulls in NEW contacts we find in the calendar(s) or mailboxes.
Sometimes you use your work email or calendar for personal events.
When connecting SalesDirector.ai to a Salesforce Sandbox you need to use the Salesforce Security Token method. Production SalesDirector.ai to Salesforce connections use OAuth.
So for Salesforce Security Tokens, normally you would find this under:
From within Salesforce Navigate to your personal settings, enter Reset in the Quick Find box, then select Reset My Security Token.
Click Reset Security Token. The new security token is sent to the email address

2) Click Connected Accounts Tab
3) If you have an existing connection and have a triangle showing, you will want to DISCONNECT this connector first
The safest way to give your GSuite users access to 3rd Party Applications such as SalesDirector.ai is to whitelist them within your GSuite Admin Panel.
To do so login to GSuite as a Super Administrator.
As you undoubtedly know, SalesDirector.ai relies heavily on Email and Calendar activity to determine what is going on with a Deal. The system is pretty good at correlating the right email/cal traffic to the right Deal. This is great for Direct Sales where you (the Account Executive) is in direct contact with the end buyer/user, but in the Channel Sales or Sales Partner scenario, where you are selling your product or service through a Partner, Integrator, Agent or otherwise the
