Create Consent Automatically
1. Overview
You would need to create a consent record for contacts for the following scenarios:
- When explicit consent obtained via the website, email, or mobile handset captured at the object record level.
- When explicit consent obtained via contract or paper forms.
You can also import existing consents by creating a CSV with all the fields mentioned in the process builder configuration. Click on the ‘Import’ button to start importing consents.
Consent Obtained via Website, Email, or Mobile Handset
We recommend that you use a process builder and create the consent record automatically when the record is created or edited. Write a process builder as given in the following section on record creation and create a consent record.
Please note, when records are created via non-mobile handset such as web forms, one needs to get the opt-in via a mobile handset. This process of confirming consent via mobile handset by contact created by web forms is called Double Opt-in.
To initiate double opt-in, the admin needs to use the Confirmation Config field and add Compliance Status to Pending to initiate a double opt-in process. One can find Confirmation Config under Converse Settings > Multichannel Compliance > Double Opt-In & Other > View Details.
Consent Obtained via Contract or Paper Forms
If you need to capture the consent on a continuous basis and whenever the records are created or edited, we recommend the same process of configuring the process builder. You must use the comment fields when creating a consent record so that during the audit process you can confirm the source of the consent.
