Salesforce Contact Request

Salesforce Customer Contact Requests is another cool feature to enhance your customers experience in dealing with your company.

You can now flip it on its head call them up instead. All they have to do is fill out a form online and submit.

You can think of Salesforce Customer Contact Requests as a light-weight version of Cases. It can be related to other records. Use ‘Requested By’ field to relate to people, such as Leads, Contacts and the ‘Related To’ field to connect to Account, Case, Opportunities, Work Orders, and Custom Objects.

You can also route them with Omni-Channel by editing its queue to include Contact request object.
