From within Salesforce, you will be able to:

  • Create your SmartVault client vaults.
  • Browse your clients' folders in SmartVault.
  • Upload documents in SmartVault using the Upload File to Folder button.
  • If you have notifications set on certain folders, they will be automatically notified. 
  • Open and view any uploaded files for this client by clicking Open in SV.

Prerequisites

  • You must have a SmartVault structured account. See your account manager for more information.
  • The user installing and configuring the Salesforce/SmartVault integration must use the same email address for both systems and be a member of the Administrator group in SmartVault.
  • You must have System Admin rights in Salesforce to install packages.

Uploading a File to a Target Folder Upon Creating a Client

Imagine that you want to upload a specific file to a particular folder every time you create a client in SmartVault from Salesforce. Now you can do that!

Requirements

  • Must have the file uploaded to the Files Library in Salesforce. 
  • Must have the target folder name in the folder template from SmartVault. 
  • Must be a Salesforce admin to do the following steps.

Creating a Salesforce Library and Uploading a File to the Library

  1. Determine the target folder in your folder template in SmartVault. (this is where the file will be uploaded upon client creation)

    Examples: Engagement Letter, NDA

  2. Create a library and upload your file in Salesforce. The folder name should be the same as the folder name in your SmartVault template.
  3. You must give each user access to the library in SalesForce to allow them to upload the document to SmartVault client creation.

Configure Salesforce to Upload the File to Specific Folder in SmartVault

  1. In Salesforce, go to Setup and search for Custom Settings.
  2. Click Manage for SVaultConfiguration and click Edit.
  3. Enter the document name to upload upon client creation in the Document Name field.
  4. Enter the name of the folder in SmartVault where you want the file to be uploaded.
