Background: The EverBright platform allows users with administrative access to submit a Channel Partner Form to add new channel partners. The request is submitted via JotForm, and a Software Support ticket is created.

With the new SalesForce-Jira Integration, all requests are now managed directly within Salesforce without manually creating the ticket in Jira

 

An org that becomes channel partner to another org will only have access to the channel manager's financing options. Example: HW Solar was on the platform and had access to Concert, Mosaic, etc. HW Solar moved to Green Light Solar that does not offer Mosaic. HW Solar will no longer have access to Mosaic.

The ticket subject line will read: A New Channel Partner Request for [org] and will contain information from the JotForm:

  • Relate Email interaction to the Case

  • Under “Name” select the contact who submitted the request

    • Under “Relates to” select the case that was created

 

  • Once the Case Assignment is created; a linked Jira ticket will automatically be generated and displayed under Linked Issues

 

 

 

  • The Salesforce Case status will sync with Jira, so agents dont need to access Jira directly

  • Any comments added in Jira will automatically populate in the “Chatter Feed” on the Salesforce case

  • If additional communication with the Config Team is needed, the agent needs to communicate with Config on a ticket, they will need to use the Jira link and place an internal comment in the ticket. Will be enhanced in the future to allow bi-directional communication within SF

  • The case status in Salesforce will update automatically based on the Jira ticket’s progress

(This includes closure once the Jira ticket

  • Once the configuration work is completed the configuration assignee will close the CS ticket and case assignment

  • If no outstanding issues, send an outbound email from CXone to the customer by using the “New Channel Req 2” Quick reply template

  • Relate final email interaction to the case

  • Under Name, select the contact who submitted the request

  • Under Relates To, select the initial case that was created
