Overview
The Custom Modules app allows agents to view Accounts, Deals & other custom modules related to native objects from the conversation inbox.
Installation
Connecting Your CRM Account
- Enter your Sales domain URL in the format 'yourcompany.myfreshworks.com.'
- Input your Sales API key from Admin → API Settings → CRM API details.
Configuration
Each module configuration requires the following inputs:
Module - Select the module that should be displayed to the agent. This can be native modules like Deals & Accounts or custom modules that you specifically configured for your account.
Related to - Select which native module the custom module is related to. This field accepts Contacts, Accounts, or Deals.
The value for the Accounts & Deals module is not editable. It is set to Contacts by default.
If a custom module is related to Accounts or Deals, ensure that module visibility is set by enabling the 'Show module in app' checkbox.
Lookup field - Select the lookup field that links the custom module to the native module. This is usually configured in the custom module during its configuration.
For instance, if there is a custom module called 'Membership' related to contacts, your lookup field named 'Related contact' will be configured under the custom module.
This value for the Accounts & Deals module is not editable. By default, it is set to Related Contact. Custom modules related to contacts also should have ‘Related contacts’ as the lookup field
Fields to display - Select the fields from these modules that agents should see for each module.
Inbox Experience
Modules related to contacts appear in the first-level widget, while those related to deals or accounts appear in the second level once a specific deal or account is selected. To illustrate the inbox experience, assume the app is configured to display Deals (related to Contacts) and Line Items (related to Deals):
Agents can view the three most recent deals in the widget and expand them to see more details.
If agents want to view all deals related to a particular customer, they can select 'View all' to see all related deals.
Agents can also view all fields of a specific deal and details about the line item (from the Custom module related to the deal) by clicking on 'View more info'.
