Salesforce
Overview
This guide explains how to create a direct link from Salesforce to UXCam that dynamically
includes the User ID, allowing you to quickly access user session data in UXCam.
Why Use This Approach?
- No coding required – implemented directly in Salesforce.
- Easy to maintain – uses a simple formula field in Salesforce.
- Quick access – enables one-click navigation from Salesforce to the relevant UXCam
session list.
Implementation Steps
1. Create a Hyperlink Formula Field in Salesforce
- Navigate to Salesforce Setup
- Go to Object Manager > Select the object where you want to add the UXCam link (e.g.,
User, Lead, Account). - Click on Fields & Relationships > New Field
- Select Formula as the field type.
- Click Next, then set the Formula Return Type to Text.
2. Define the Formula
In the formula editor, enter the following formula:
HYPERLINK(
"https://app.uxcam.com/app/YOURAPPID/sessions/list/1?user_custom_property={“o”:“in”,“pn”:“kUXCam_UserIdentity”,“pv”:[“YOUR_USER_ID”],“tb”:“appuser”}",
"Click Here"
)
3. Explanation of the Formula
- The UXCam URL points to the session list page of the application.
- The YourApp User ID (YourApp_User_Id) is dynamically appended to the URL as
a query parameter. - The HYPERLINK function displays a "Click Here" link in Salesforce, which, when
clicked, opens the corresponding UXCam session list.
4. Save and Test
- Click Save to create the formula field.
- Open a record where the YourApp User ID is available.
- Click on the "Click Here" link and verify that it correctly redirects to the relevant UXCam
session page.
Expected Output in Salesforce
- A clickable link in Salesforce that dynamically fetches the correct UXCam session data.
- Example of how it will appear in Salesforce:
- Click Here → [Redirects to UXCam session list filtered by User ID]
Troubleshooting & Notes
- Ensure that the YourApp User ID field (YourApp_User_Id__c) is correctly populated
in Salesforce. - Replace YOURAPPID in the URL with the actual UXCam App ID for your organization.
- If the link does not work, double-check the query string formatting and confirm that the
YourApp User ID exists in UXCam.
