Overview

App Navigation allows you to interact with all of your application modules from a single interface.  All the horizontal navigation tabs are now available in a simplified, vertically arranged navigation. This menu will be available under a single navigation tab ‘SMS-Magic Converse’ inside the SMS-Magic Converse application in Salesforce. This feature will be available with the Salesforce Classic and Salesforce Lightning versions. Feature accessibility will remain as per plan and profile/user-level permissions assigned.

Accessing App Navigation from other Salesforce app tabs:

In Lightning experience, when the user is using the “Sales” app, the user can search for the “SMS-Magic Converse” tab in the app launcher and access the “SMS-Magic Converse” tab within the “Sales” app without switching the current application. Similarly in Classic experience, users can access the “SMS-Magic Converse” tab from the “All Tabs” list. All tabs can be accessed by clicking on the “All Tabs” button in the main navigation.

However, if you have installed the SMS-Magic Converse v1.62 for the first time, you will land on the “SMS-Magic setup” page. All the icons and their functionalities will be enabled with their expected functionalities once the setup is over.

Available Salesforce editions: 

Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.

Manual Sync-up

UI Implementation:

Upon clicking on the ‘Sync Now’ button, all account information, licenses, Sender IDs, and plans will get synced with the SMS-Magic Platform. The user will be able to view the sync status, last sync date, and time.

If the sync fails, it will display the status as ‘Failed’, as shown in the image below:

There are three things to showcase synchronization on UI.

  1. Last Sync Time
    1. Sync is always manual and Last Sync Time shows when was the last sync made. 
  2. Last Sync Status
    1. If one of the Sync fails, we mark the final status as FAILED otherwise if the sync is successful, the status is shown as SUCCESS. 
  3. Know More 
    1. If the sync fails, the status is shown as FAILED, and using the Know More link, you can find out the reason for the failure or the data discrepancies.

In the ‘DataSync’ (Setup → Visualforce Pages) you can see and understand the data discrepancies (if any) between the customer’s org and the SMS-Magic platform.
It gives a summary of parameters synced with the customer’s org VS those present in the platform (to help with troubleshooting)
