== Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ==

= How do I use the "Primary Key" field in each feed =

First, think of the "Primary Key" field more as a foreign key. The point of this field is to auto update the foreign key in the current form with the primary key from the previous feed. There are two ways to take advantage of this, let's use these examples:

Salesforce Feeds *Form 1: Contact - no "Primary Key" field selected *Form 1: Opportunity - "Primary Key" field selected "Contact". Will use the previously returned key from salesforce "contact id" *Form 1: Tribute - "Primary Key" field selected "Opportunity". Will use the previously returned key from salesforce "opportunity id"

In order to pull this off, you still need to do a few things. First, take advantage of the sorting feature in the Salesforce Feeds list. This allows you the flexibility to add feeds in any order and sort them into the proper order. This is important because if you're using the "Primary Key" feature, you will need your feeds in the right order. Meaning, your dependent foreign key MUST follow your primary key. So, in the example above, Opportunity must be sorted immediately after Contact because once it is inserted it relies on the Contact primary key.

Alernative method:

Salesforce Feeds *Form 1: Contact - "Primary Key" field not selected *Form 1: Opportunity - "Primary Key" field selected "Contact". Will use the previously returned key from salesforce "Contact id" *Form 1: Opportunity Contact Role - "Primary Key" field not selected. Instead select your Primary Keys from the form fields dropdowns. This will use the previously returned keys from your previous Salesforce feeds: "opportunity id" & "contact id"

Now let's say that Opportunity Contact Role has two required foriegn keys -- Opportunity ID & Contact ID. As before, you will still need your Feeds in the right order. Meaning, Opportunity Contact Role can not be first because it needs it depends on the Primary Keys from Contact & Opportunity. In order to pull this off, select the corresponding Primary Keys from the Form Fields on your Feed. Match them up with "Contact ID" List Feed and "Oppotunity ID" List Feed.

= Web to Lead: My input values are being cut off in Salesforce = If you are submitting to a "Multi PickList" field in Salesforce, the values need to be separated with ';' instead of ','. Add a filter to your functions.php file:

add_filter('gf_salesforce_implode_glue', 'change_salesforce_implode_glue');

/**
 * Change the way the data is submitted to salesforce to force submission as multi picklist values.
 * @param  string $glue  ',' or ';'
 * @param  array $field The field to modify the glue for
 * @return string        ',' or ';'
 */
function change_salesforce_implode_glue($glue, $field) {

    // Change this to the Salesforce API Name of the field that's not being passed properly.
    $name_of_sf_field = 'ExampleMultiSelectPicklist__c';

    // If the field being checked is the Salesforce field that is being truncated, return ';'
    if($field['inputName'] === $name_of_sf_field || $field['adminLabel'] === $name_of_sf_field) {
        return ';';
    }

    // Otherwise, return default.
    return $glue;
}

= Do I need both plugins activated? = No, you only need one, and the API plugin is recommended: the Web to Lead plugin is no longer being actively developed. If you are using Web to Lead, you don't need the API plugin activated. If you are using the API plugin, you don't need the Web to Lead activated.

= What are the server requirements? = Your server must support the following:

• PHP 5.x
• SOAP Enabled
• SSL Enabled
• cURL Enabled
• OpenSSL Enabled

= My Assignment Rule is not triggered. How do I fix this? =

add_action('gf_salesforce_connection', 'gf_salesforce_set_default_assignement_rule');

function gf_salesforce_set_default_assignement_rule($client) {
    //  Two Options for Setting Assignment Rule
    //    1.  Pass in AssignmentRule ID and "false" to use a specific assignment rule.
    //    2.  Pass in null and true to trigger the DEFAULT AssignementRule
    $header = new \AssignmentRuleHeader(null, true);

    $client->setAssignmentRuleHeader($header);

    return $client;
}

= How do I configure the API plugin? =

How to set up integration:

1. In WordPress admin, go to Forms > Salesforce > Salesforce Settings
2. If you don't have your security token, follow this link to Reset Your Security Token
3. Come back to this settings page and enter your Security Token, Salesforce.com Username and Password.
4. Save the settings, and you should be done!

= How do I set a custom Lead Source? (Web to Lead) = This feature support was added in version 1.1.1. gf_salesforce_lead_source is the filter.

Add the following to your theme's functions.php file. Modify as you see fit:

` add_filter('gf_salesforce_lead_source', 'make_my_own_lead_source', 1, 3);

function make_my_own_lead_source($lead_source, $form_meta, $data) { // $lead_source - What was about to be used (normally Gravity Forms Form Title) // $form_meta - Gravity Forms form details // $data - The data passed to Salesforce

return $lead_source; // Return something else if you want to.

} `

= Can I use Salesforce Custom Fields? (Web to Lead) =

With version 1.1, you can. When you are trying to map a custom field, you need to set either the "Admin Label" for the input (in the Advanced tab of each field in the Gravity Forms form editor) or the Parameter Name (in Advanced tab, visible after checking "Allow field to be populated dynamically") to be the API Name of the Custom Field as shown in Salesforce. For example, a Custom Field with a Field Label "Web Source" could have an API Name of SFGA__Web_Source__c.

You can find your Custom Fields under [Your Name] → Setup → Leads → Fields, then at the bottom of the page, there's a list of "Lead Custom Fields & Relationships". This is where you will find the "API Name" to use in the Admin Label or Parameter Name.

= What's the license for this plugin? = This plugin is released under a GPL license.

== Changelog ==

= 3.1 =

• Fixed: do not take any create action on inactive feeds
• Fixed: ability to sort the order of feeds list
• Fixed: feed select boxes are all sorted alphabetically now
• Fixed: feeds primary key can now be used to update previous records properly. For example, formA two SF tables worth of data -- contact & address. You can create an address feed and a contact feed. If the address feed is ordered before the contact feed in the feed list, you can use the contact feeds primary key to map to the address primary key. This is helpful to map true relationships is SF.
• Fixed: any feed can map foreign keys to primary keys, thus mapping rich relationship in SF. For example, formB has five dependent SF tables worth of data -- contact, opportunities, opportunity contacts, contact, tribute. Now you can create a contact, have it linked to opportunities. But also create a second contact and map that as well as the opportunity to a custom tribute table. Very fancy.
