Chatrules is a Lightning ready Salesforce Application, which can help Organisations to follow and unfollow the records on the basis of created rules. By defining simple rules, a Salesforce administrator can ensure that users will follow or Unfollow the records that they want. It enhances the Chatter experience for you and your organisation.
Chatrules supports six standard objects: Account, Contact, Opportunity, Lead, Case and User. With the help of Dashboard users can view interesting statistics on how chatter is being used in our organization.
Business Need
- There are several business scenarios where it is useful to automatically follow Chatter records.
- Sales managers would find ChatRules useful to automatically follow Opportunity records once they reached a certain stage, amount, and/or contained certain products.
- It is beneficial to automatically follow records created by specific user as a way to monitor if a new employee is building their pipeline correctly, or to ensure policies are being followed.
- Marketing could follow records based on primary campaign source - from the point when a Lead is entered into the system all the way to the Opportunity becoming closed won.
- Operations managers could Autofollow records if they went into a status of "On hold" or "not Moving." This would replace the current email notification they receive. ChatRules could continue to provide them updates without the manager having to inspect each record separately.
- Using unfollow functionality, once an implementation goes back to "Moving Along" or an Opportunity drops below a certain threshold, then it would be useful to reduce the amount of potential clutter and keep only the important items in the notification table.
Some of these are listed below:
