Salesforce campaign model and tracking

 Salesforce campaign tracking 

Check out the great article on Campaign tracking use case: https://www.salesforce.com/blog/track-salesforce-campaign-shadow-wolf-blog/ 


There are 2 ways to track Campaign ROI 

Campaign Influence (custom model) 

Associate multiple Campaigns to multiple Opportunities (and multiple Opportunities to a Campaign) using the Contact Role. To get a broader view of opportunity pipeline, generate the standard report called Campaigns with Influenced Opportunities (Customizable Campaign Influence). This report provides opportunity data, such as amount, stage, and revenue share alongside helpful campaign details.  

 

For more control, build custom reports that show relationships such as these examples. 

• Campaigns with Influenced Opportunities 

• Contacts with Campaign Influence 

• Accounts with Campaign Influence 


 

If there is only one campaign associated with each opportunity - therefore, 100% of the influence will be attributed to that campaign.  

If there were more than one campaign associated with each Opportunity, then the influence would be divided across those campaigns according to the model below: 

First-Touch 

Assigns 100% of influence and revenue earned to the first campaign a prospect touches. Even if a prospect interacts with other marketing assets or activities, this model attributes all of the influence to the first touch. This model relies on the campaign member’s Created Date and is for Account Engagement users only. 

Even-Distribution 

Assigns an equal percentage of influence and revenue earned to every campaign a prospect touches. This model is for Account Engagement users only. 

Last-Touch 

Assigns 100% of influence and revenue earned to the last campaign a prospect touches before a deal is closed. No matter what other campaigns the prospect has interacted with, this model attributes all influence to the final touchpoint. This model relies on the Last Modified Date of the campaign member and is for Account Engagement users only. 


Note: 

Campaign Influence requires discipline to gain consistent data and accurate reports as a result. This means: 

  • Create a Campaign for every touchpoint. 

  • Be consistent with Campaign Member statuses (especially the ones you consider “Responded”) 

  • Update a Campaign Member’s status as they engage with the campaign. Pardot admins – use completion actions consistently to add and update member status (screenshot below). 

  • Add Contact Roles to Opportunities. 

Graphical user interface, text, application

Description automatically generated 

Primary Campaign Source (default model) 

Associate one Campaign to an Opportunity. Primary Campaign Source field in Salesforce Opportunity is automatically populated when the Lead is Converted or when an Opportunity is created from Contact with associated Campaigns. Primary campaign source is dictated by the last associated campaign on a lead prior to lead conversion (for conversion reporting), or the last associated campaign on a contact  (when converted to an opportunity). However, there is Only one Campaign can be added to the Primary Campaign Source for each Opportunity. The campaign on the opportunity ‘Primary Campaign Source’ field will receive 100% of the credit 

Report types suggested: 

  • Campaign with Opportunities 

  • Campaigns with Campaign Members

The flow failed to access the value because it hasn't been set or assigned error

I'm sure that many Salesforce admin already encountered the this Process builder error when building automation referencing a field on a related record (aka lookup field): ' The flow failed to access the value because it hasn't been set or assigned ' and came across this Salesforce document . However, it does not help in case of referencing a User lookup field. ------------------------------- Use case: when a lead's ownership is transferred to another user, respective fields are updated based on their profile.  Error element myDecision (FlowDecision). The flow failed to access the value for myVariable_current.Owner:User.ProfileId because it hasn't been set or assigned. --------------------------- Workaround:  Have a condition to check if the record is assigned to a user or a queue before checking their profile id for respective actions. Records owned by user: BEGINS([Lead].OwnerId, "005") Records owned by queue: BEGINS([Lead].Owne

Advance Approval - 'The link you followed wasnt valid for your session' error

Use case: some users get 'The link you followed wasnt valid for your session. Returned to the previous page, refresh it and try again' error  when they submit for approval or recall the quote using Advanced Approval buttons. Users follow the instruction (return to previous page and refresh) but still encounter the error. Workaround: Clear browsing data last 24h or open the quote in a different browser; and take action from there.

Advanced approval note - Why the assigned approval is disappeared and the quote get approved automatically?

Use case:  There are 3 approval levels that the quote has to go through for discount: Step 1: Direct managers (discount =< 3% and margin >=50%) Step 2: VP (discount > 3% and margin >=50%) Step 3: SVP (discount >0 and margin <50%) In quote 02613, the discount is 5% but margin is above 50%, the quote needs approval from Direct Manager (step 1) and VP (step 2). After the direct manager approves the request, the quote get approved automatically and the VP approval request is deleted. Solution: Check the Excluded Statuses field in the Approval Rule and make sure the Pending status is removed.  Based on salesforce documentation, Salesforce CPQ does not apply this rule to approvals with any of the chosen statuses, which was not quite clear to me. After testing and fail several times, searching on the internet, I even tumble across the same question on CPQ community without no answer. Finally I got on the call with a CPQ support and they recommended me to check the excluded
