Automatically Find Any Salesforce Record for Incoming SMS
Automatically Find Any Salesforce Record for Incoming SMS
You can automatically find the Salesforce record that belongs to an incoming SMS instead of asking your users to search for the customer manually.
You can configure your Record Management around the Salesforce objects, fields and business rules your organisation already uses.
You can work with your standard Salesforce objects or your custom objects, so your incoming SMS can become part of the correct customer, enquiry or business process.
You can also decide whether your incoming SMS should match an existing record, create a new record or remain as a conversation until your user decides what should happen.
Find the Right Salesforce Record When an SMS Arrives
You can configure how your application should search for the Salesforce record connected to your incoming SMS.
You can choose your Salesforce object and define the information your application should use when looking for your existing record.

Search Your Standard and Custom Salesforce Objects
You can use Record Management with your standard Salesforce objects or your custom Salesforce objects.
You can connect your incoming SMS to records such as your Leads, Contacts, Cases, Opportunities, Orders, Quotes or other records your organisation uses.

Decide What Happens When More Than One Salesforce Record Matches

You can choose the duplicate handling approach that best fits your Salesforce process.

Use Salesforce Flow for Advanced SMS Record Matching
You can use Salesforce Flow when your record matching requires logic beyond a straightforward object and field configuration.
You can build your own process for finding the record your incoming SMS should use.
You can use your Flow logic when your organisation needs to search across several objects or apply more complex business conditions.

You can define your own logic for deciding which Salesforce record should become the context for your incoming SMS.

Apply Your Business Conditions Before Selecting a Record
You can use your own conditions before your application decides which Salesforce record should be used.
You can include your business rules when your matching process depends on more than a single phone number or customer field.
You can keep your incoming SMS handling aligned with the same logic your organisation already uses elsewhere in Salesforce.
Use Your Own Logic for Complex Customer Enquiries

You can keep your Record Management flexible as your Salesforce processes become more advanced.
Keep Unmatched SMS Conversations Available for Review
With Application House, you do not have to force every incoming SMS onto a Salesforce record immediately.
You can choose the None Record Management option when your organisation wants to capture the conversation first and decide on the relevant Salesforce record later.
This gives your users time to understand the enquiry, review the incoming message, and then select or create the appropriate Salesforce record
when they are ready.
Create Your Conversation Without Immediate Record Matching
You can allow your incoming SMS to create your conversation without immediately associating it with a Salesforce record.
You can keep your customer message available for review while your user decides how the enquiry should be handled.
You can use this approach when your incoming message does not provide enough information for confident automatic matching.
Let Your User Connect the SMS to the Right Record Later
You can let your Salesforce user review the conversation and connect it to the appropriate record when more information becomes available.
You can avoid creating an incorrect record association simply because your incoming SMS could not be matched automatically.
You can keep the power in your hands by choosing when your automation should make the decision and when your user should make it.
