How to Connect INTENTIVE Insights to Salesforce

INTENTIVE shortens B2B sales cycles and simplifies life for both marketing and sales professionals. By delivering unparalleled business insights via buyer-level intent signals and behaviors, INTENTIVE truly accelerates sales outcomes.

But none of this matters unless you’re able to actually get your hands on the buyer-level intent insights the platform offers.

Using INTENTIVE’s Buyer-Level Insights

The information INTENTIVE records, aggregates, and presents to users is some of the most actionable across the B2B world.

So how can these insights be put into action?

Installing the INTENTIVE Insights Salesforce App

We’re excited to share that we’ve built a fully loaded Salesforce app that’s ready to export buyer-level intent insights directly into your Salesforce environment.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the INTENTIVE Insights app and connecting it to your Salesforce instance.

1. Install the Managed Package

According to Salesforce’s Help site, a managed package is a “container that includes the components of a Salesforce application, and it’s a mechanism for installing apps in Salesforce orgs.”

In this case, the managed package will be NetLine’s INTENTIVE Insights app.

To install the NetLine INTENTIVE Insights managed package for Salesforce, use the links below:

Production Salesforce Orgs
Sandbox Salesforce Orgs

Invite your teammates

Choose which users you will give access to INTENTIVE Insights. Depending on your access requirements, these access levels are:

  1. Admins Only
  2. All Users
  3. Specific Profiles

We recommend selecting All Users or Specific Profiles, as access to the INTENTIVE Insights component will be further controlled by a Salesforce permission set.

Agree to the acknowledgment box and click the Install button. Note that this may take a few minutes.

    • For example, you could add a tab called “INTENTIVE Insights” and add the component there, as shown in the screenshots below. Save and Activate on specific app(s) as needed.
  • Add a Tab by clicking on the component with Tabs.

INTENTIVE and Salesforce Lightning

Additionally, we know that many Salesforce users prefer Salesforce Classic to Lightning. It’s important to note, however, that INTENTIVE Insights will only work with Salesforce Lightning.

Note that the INTENTIVE Insights component must be deployed on an Account Lightning Record Page, as it provides the insights for the Account context that it is deployed on.

Connecting INTENTIVE to Salesforce is Simple

But that’s just our opinion, of course. We know that things can go array at times, so if you get stuck, send a note to portal-support@netline.com—we’ll help get you unstuck and on your way in no time.

We’re excited to help you get the most of out NetLine INTENTIVE!
