Purpose
The purpose of this Wiki is to document the process of:
- Configuring ICI in Salesforce.
- Performing Salesforce related configuration in ICI for mapping data entities and saved searches.
It also describes the process of using the Icertis Experience for Salesforce with the standard scenarios.
The document is primarily intended for:
- Administrator users who configure Icertis Experience for Salesforce on Salesforce.com.
- ICI Administrator Users who work on ICI Side Configuration.
- Other users who work with Agreements.
Prerequisites
- The user must have an account on Salesforce and ICI.
- Icertis CLM must be installed on Salesforce.com from Salesforce AppExchange. It is compatible with Group, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Force.com Developer and Performance Editions.
- The user must have admin privileges for ICI and Salesforce in case the user is configuring ICI on Salesforce.
Overview of Icertis Experience for Salesforce
Icertis Experience for Salesforce is a native Salesforce application that allows you to access the full suite of ICI functionality from Salesforce, including the following capabilities:
- Manage end-to-end contract lifecycle from the familiar Salesforce platform.
- Create and edit Contract Requests with pre-populated data from Salesforce objects.
- Track contract progress and status updates within Salesforce.
- View contract notifications as part of chatter feed messages.
- Execute actions like Lock/Unlock and Hold/Unhold on Salesforce agreements and contract requests.
- Access and view “Opportunity”, “View Quote”, and “View Account” pages.
- See and conduct Advanced searches within Salesforce iframe.
- Automatically transfer and synchronize data between Salesforce objects and ICI.
- Map Salesforce objects (standard and custom) with ICI entities.
ICI and Salesforce integration is required to port data from ICI to Salesforce. This integration avoids the need for re-entering the data manually in Salesforce which you have already created in ICI.
To use ICI from within Salesforce:
- The ICI sections must be embedded in the Salesforce pages.
- After logging on to Salesforce, select ICI in the top navigation bar of the Salesforce page to use ICI through Salesforce.
Icertis Experience for Salesforce has the following key concepts:
- Account is a label for business. It is a company or a business entity, you might already be working with, or one that you hope to work with. In simple words, an Account is an actual business or company.
- Opportunity is a pending deal with a monetary value associated with it. It helps to track the pending deals and sales.
- Quote is the data showing the proposed prices for the products or services. Quotes can be created by using the data that is saved in the Opportunities and shared with the prospective customers. Every opportunity can have multiple associated quotes linked to it.
After integrating ICI with Salesforce, you can do the following contract management tasks in Salesforce:
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Account.
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Opportunity.
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Quote.
- Create and edit a Contract from an Account when a prospective sales lead is qualified and a corresponding account is created.
- Create and edit a Contract from an existing Opportunity.
- Create and edit a Contract from an existing Quote.

Configuring Page Layout
To Enable ICI sections on the added entity (as per the ICI Configuration section) you need to add the ICI custom pages into page layouts. By using the Page Layout Configuration, Admin assigns user access to Contract or Contract Request Related Sections. For example, if you have enabled the ICI Configuration for Opportunity in Salesforce, you need to enable ICI custom pages in Opportunity Layout:
You can Edit your existing Page layout (Opportunity Layout) and add two Visualforce pages inside the page layout as follows:
1. Click Setup icon > “Setup”. The “Setup” page opens.
2. In the “Quick Find” search box, search for “object manager”

7. In the Opportunity Layout pane, in the left menu, scroll down to select Visualforce Pages. Under Blank Space, drag the page that you want to give access to and drop it in the appropriate area in the opportunity (located on the same page under Opportunity Sample). For example, as you can see in the following screenshot, ICI_Contract Page and ICI_Contract Request Page can be dragged and dropped in the appropriate area in the opportunity.
Pages are now added in the Icertis Contracts Section.
Configuring Data Sync
Once the Contract and Contract Request is created from Salesforce, the data is synced to ICI entities. If the Salesforce entity is edited or changed, user need to update mapped fields in ICI. Ideally, this process is automated. The system should automatically sync the data in the background, without user intervention.
To enable this feature in Salesforce, ICI Service User Authentication Token should be configured and create a process in Process Builder for specific entities. Selected entities will have Data sync functionality. To know more about the Process Builder, visit: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=process_overview.htm&type=0

Configuration for allowing user to be redirected to ICI Details page in Salesforce
When creating Contracts, Contract Requests and Amendments from Salesforce, Administrators can now configure whether the users should be redirected to the ICI Contract details page or the Salesforce Record page from where creation process was initiated. This can be configured by selecting the “Show initiating object’s Salesforce page” checkbox on the ICI Endpoint Configuration page. By default, the checkbox is unchecked. When checked, the user is redirected to the Salesforce Record page, else to the ICI Contract detail page.
Integrating ICI Tasks with Salesforce
With this release, Salesforce users can now manage ICI tasks from within Salesforce. ICI Administrators can configure ICI task integration with Salesforce so that the tasks created in ICI are pushed to Salesforce. This allows users to view task details with the attributes such as Task Name, Status, Priority, Due Date within Salesforce itself.
Based on configuration, users can receive task notifications in Salesforce for any action taken on agreements, templates, contract requests, clauses or masterdata in ICI.
To integrate ICI Tasks with Salesforce Tasks:
Creating Client App Cross Reference
- Click Configure > Masterdata > Create. The Masterdata Details tab is displayed.
- Select the Category from the dropdown. For example, Default.
- Select the Masterdata Contract Type. In order to map ICI entities with entities in Salesforce, you must select Client App Cross Reference from the dropdown.
- Click Next. The Attributes tab opens.
- Enter the relevant attribute values. Enter ICI Entity Name and Client Entity Name as Task.
When the user takes any of the workflow action selected in the Task Notification Actions field in ICI, the corresponding task gets generated in Salesforce. For example, if Request Review action is taken on an agreement and a user (Reviewer) is selected, then the same task will appear in the Tasks section of Salesforce.
Viewing ICI Tasks in Salesforce
For example, if the agreement is Not approved in ICI for which Send for Approval action was taken, then the agreement status in ICI changes to Approval Pending and in Salesforce changes to Not Started.
Working with Saved Searches

Saving a Search
If you have the search criteria defined and need same search criteria repeatedly, it is advisable to save the search. For Configuring Saved Search in Salesforce, we need some of the Data Mapping which includes Salesforce Account and Opportunity Id (which is 18 digit of alphanumeric reference value). That means, if you are defining a mapping of Salesforce Opportunity with Contract Request, then in that contract request create a field/attribute which will hold the salesforce Opportunity id, in the same manner you can create for the account id reference. So create these required mapping to start with Saved Search.
For example, after you map data, attribute like Opportunity ID can be mapped in ICI and Salesforce.
To save the search:
1. Click the Save icon. This opens the Save Search window. Set the parameters for this Saved Search.
2. Type a name for the search. Use a name that you can easily associate with this search.
Click Yes to make it a global search, which means all users of the selected Security Groups and Organization units can view it. Select No to save this search locally, which will not be visible to any other person than the person who is creating it.
3. Specify the Advanced parameters as follows:
You can also save your searches and use the saved search Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the ICI Endpoint Settings in Salesforce. You can create saved searches for the following fields that are displayed in Salesforce ICI Config Settings > ICI Endpoint Settings:
Following is an example of creating a saved search for Contract Opportunity Search URI:
1. On the upper right corner of your ICI page, click Search icon. The Search page opens.
2. In the Please select Entities to search list, select the entity that you want to search such as Agreement or Contract Request and then type the entity that you want to display in the search text box. The relevant search results open.
3. On the upper right corner of the search results, click Save icon to save your search. The Save Search window is displayed.
4. In the Save search as box, type the name of the saved search as a URI such as SF_OPP_CR for a contract request, or SF_OPP_Contract for a contract request.
Similarly, you can create saved searches for the remaining entities. The entity and field to filter will be different.
Within Salesforce, ICI will be accessible as per the ICI based User context so if there is anything which you need to control at the user end, please control the user settings from core ICI product.
