Desktop and Mobile Menu – Salesforce Integration

Brief Overview

Salesforce is a cloud-based software company. It provides a customer relationship management (CRM) service and enterprise applications (“apps”) focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application development.

The Salesforce integration with WalkMe Menu lets you easily find your Salesforce objects within the desktop and mobile menu.

Overall there are 12 apps within Salesforce. Each app has its own menu that is displayed to the user, according to the objects the user will need to work with and the relevant work processes. The main apps are- Service (Cases management), Sales (Sales processes), and Marketing (Marketing automation).
