What is it?

The Search Opportunities Integrations widget provides a portal into your Salesforce environment, allowing you to search for existing opportunities in your Salesforce instance, and view any notes, attachments or activities associated with it.

Features and functionality

The Salesforce integration widgets provide many of the features available in the Salesforce web interface:

Search opportunities

The primary feature of this widget is a search bar in which you can enter opportunity names. It will return a quick result which you can select to open the notes, attachments, and activities associated with that opportunity

View activities

Selecting an opportunity will display a list of activities with the same features and options available in the Salesforce Activities widget.

View notes and attachments

Selecting an opportunity will display a list of activities with the same features and options available in the Salesforce Notes and Attachments widget.

Limitations

• Only English language use is supported in the Search Opportunities integration.
• Salesforce imposes API limits “per user per hour” which may result in some users unable to access this widget at certain times.
