Workflow to post news

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 600

Hi

I have created a workflow to create post on newsfeed when a user creates a opportunity that the related customer is owned by another user. When the post is created the user is the subject of the post highlighted in bold. Is it possible to have the customers name here? I assume that if I change that it will result in the post not showing up on the users whats new page but only on the customers page? Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks"!

    Hi and thanks for answer. 

    The workflow post in this scenario:

    User 1 owns a contact. If another user (user 2) creates an opportunity on this contact, then User 1 wants to get a notification. OOB only notify user 2 in this scenario, or am I missing something?

    Thanks

    Hi Martin,

    I am wondering, why do you need to create this workflow for post? This is available OOB, when you create an opportunity in the system; user can see that post in 3 places:

    On What's New section of Dashboard

    On Post (social pane) of Account, mentioned in the opportunity

    On Post (social pane)of opportunity

    Let me know, if you are after something else, following are screenshots in sequence:

    Also, let me know if you have deactivated system plugins for posts, I can help you in reactivating them

    In that case you will have to create separate posts.

    Hi and thank you for answer. Yes I was thinking about the regarding field.

    The users want to see the customers name as heading in their newsfeed but if I do that I assume that post will only show on the customers page (not the users)?

    Hi Martin,

    I assume that, "Is it possible to have the customers name here?", here you mean in regarding section. Right? If so, how about creating separate post and setting regarding as the customer in same workflow? This will create two separate posts (1 showing on user's what's new and another showing on the customer). Will that solve your problem?
