Opportunity Links in an Email
Here's a nice customization you can easily add.
Scenario:
Sales rep would like to have an email sent whenever a new opportunity is assigned to them. Using workflow, you create a rule that sends them an email whenever an opportunity is assigned to them. In the email, you can include any attribute information that is associate to the opportunity.
The challenge is how does the sale rep find that opportunity from the email ? They have open CRM, and then search on the topic or look at opportunities that belong to them. Either way it's a multi step process.
What's the solution ? Create a url link to the opportunity and place in the email. The sales rep can then 1-click to the opportunity.
Steps:
Create a new attribute in the opportunity entity, called url_address.
In the OnSave event, set that field to the URL of the opportunity.
In your workflow when you create your email, you'll now have an attribute with the URL address of that opportunity.
Insert the field into the email and your sales rep will have a 1 click step to the opportunity.
