See partner attribution for your opportunities in Salesforce with this new Custom Object.

What It Is

When you complete a request in Sales Edge, you will be prompted to allow Sales Edge to track the attribution of the partner on your request to the associated opportunity in Salesforce. This helps you and your RevOps team to automatically fill in attribution data for your sales reporting. No more manual entry of attribution if you’re using Sales Edge to track your partner’s activity in your opportunities.

Yes. We send the attribution type, sourced or influenced, along with each opportunity.

It is a second manage package, so you can install it via the Integration Marketplace or from the tile in Crossbeam Core.

Yes. Each attribution is related to the account (i.e. the account you closed) and the partner account (if you include it during the setup of the integration). Sales Edge can pull in the opportunities from your CRM. When looking at your Request, a search field allows you to update which opportunity is associated with that Sales Edge Request, and this is pushed through to Salesforce.

If you input your Partner Account IDs here, your attributions will be linkable to the Partner in your Salesforce instead of by their text name only.

This attribution feature comes with four standard report types: 1. Crossbeam Attributions 2. Crossbeam Attributions with Account 3. Crossbeam Attributions with Opportunity 4. Crossbeam Attributions with Partner
