Configuration for allowing user to be redirected to ICM 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 ICM Contract details page or the Salesforce Record page from where creation process was initiated. This can be configured by selecting the Allow Redirect checkbox on the ICM Endpoint Configuration page. By default, the checkbox is unchecked. When checked, the user is redirected to the Salesforce Record page, else to the ICM Contract detail page.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to document the process of:
Configuring ICM in Salesforce.
- Performing Salesforce related configuration in ICM for mapping data entities and saved searches.
The guide also describes the process of using the ICM Salesforce connector for standard scenarios.
The document is primarily intended for:
- Administrator users who configure Icertis Salesforce Connector on Salesforce.com.
- ICM Administrator Users who work on ICM Side Configuration.
- Other users who work with Agreements.
Prerequisites
- The user must have an account on Salesforce and ICM.
- 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 ICM and Salesforce in case the user is configuring ICM on Salesforce.
Overview of ICM Salesforce Connector
ICM Salesforce Connector is a native Salesforce application that allows you to access the full suite of ICM functionality from Salesforce, including the following capabilities:
- Manage end-to-end contract lifecycle from the familiar Salesforce platform.
- Create 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.
- Automatically transfer and synchronize data between Salesforce objects and ICM.
- Map Salesforce objects (standard and custom) with ICM entities.
ICM and Salesforce integration is required to port data from ICM to Salesforce. This integration avoids the need for re-entering the data manually in Salesforce which you have already created in ICM.
To use ICM from within Salesforce:
- The ICM sections must be embedded in the Salesforce pages.
- After logging on to Salesforce, select ICM in the top right corner of your Salesforce page to use ICM through Salesforce.
ICM Salesforce contains 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 the 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 ICM 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 ICM sections on the added entity (as per the ICM Configuration section) you need to add the ICM 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 ICM Configuration for Opportunity in Salesforce, you need to enable ICM custom pages in Opportunity Layout:
Opportunity (Opportunity Page Layout)
1. You can Edit your existing Page layout (Opportunity Layout) and add two Visualforce pages inside the page layout as follows:
2. On the Opportunity Layout page, click Edit to edit the page layout where you want to add Visualforce pages.
Configuring Data Sync
Once the Contract and Contract Request is created from Salesforce, the data is synced to ICM entities. If the Salesforce entity is edited or changed, user need to update mapped fields in ICM. Ideally, this process is automated. The system should automatically sync the data in the background, without user intervention.
To enable this feature in Salesforce, ICM 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
