The SafeBase Salesforce Managed App is an optional feature of our platform that allows for users to invite Contacts to SafeBase directly from Salesforce in the Contact and Account pages.

Note: We are planning to have the Managed App available on the Salesforce AppExchange in the near future. At the moment, installation requires using a direct link.

This installation process should take less than 20 minutes if all steps are followed correctly. If you run into issues, please use our Intercom help widget, or email us at support@safebase.io.

Prerequisites

Package Installation

Use the appropriate link below to install the package based on the environment. The steps below are the same for both Production and Sandbox environments. Note that this should match the same environment that has been configured in the SafeBase app using the OAuth connection.

Production: login to your production environment. In the same browser profile, navigate to https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t4x000000ig71&isdtp=p1

Sandbox: login to your sandbox environment. In the same browser profile, navigate to https://test.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t4x000000ig71&isdtp=p1.

  1. Select Install For All Users then click Install.

  2. A popup will appear. Ensure that Yes, grant access to third-party websites is checked, Click Continue.

  3. Once the installation is complete, click Done. You will be redirected to the Installed Packages Page.

  4. Verify that the package is listed in Installed Packages.

API Key Configuration

We are now going to configure the App with a SafeBase API Key.

  1. In the top right corner, click the gear icon and enter Setup.

  2. On the top left screen, find the QuickFind search box, type then click : Custom Metadata Types.

  3. Find the line SafebaseHostToken, then click on Manage Records.

  4. Click Edit, on the default record.

  5. Insert your SafeBase API Key in the Token field. See step 6 for instructions on how to create one.

  6. Go to your SafeBase Security Portal, under Settings, then API Keys, you can click the Add button to create a new one or click here to go to this section. You will need to be a SafeBase Admin to generate this key. If you are not a SafeBase Admin, ask one of your SafeBase Admins to generate this for you.

    1. Note: API Keys can only be viewed when created, make sure you copy your API to a secure location such as a password manager.

  7. In Salesforce, click Save.

Remote Site Configuration

Now that the API has been added, we are now going to verify that the App is configured to reach the SafeBase API properly.

  1. On the top left screen, find the QuickFind search box type then click: Remote Site Settings.

  2. Click Edit for the GetSafebaseAccount record.

  3. Make sure the Active checkbox is checked.

  4. Click Save.

Modifying Page Layouts and Adding Fields

We are now going to be modifying the Account Page Layout to add the appropriate custom fields that the App requires.

Account Page Layout

  1. At the top of the page, click the tab Object Manager.

    1. Note: If you have multiple layouts that your Sales team uses, you will have to repeat the following steps for each layout.

  5. From the Fields box, click and drag a Section onto the page. Name the section SafeBase.

  6. Click OK.

    1. Note: This step is only required if you want to have a separate SafeBase section. You may optionally drag these fields to an existing section. We recommend putting these in a separate section to avoid clutter.

    1. SafeBase: Account Share Link

    2. SafeBase: Number of Invited Contacts

    3. SafeBase: NDA Provider
