Add "Create Plan" button in Salesforce

You're also to add a "Create Plan" button directly onto your opportunity. This allows users to seamlessly create a workspace directly from within Salesforce. To add the Create Plan button, follow the below steps:

  1. Navigate to Salesforce Setup > Object Manager > Opportunity

  2. Navigate to "Buttons, Links, and Actions" on the left hand panel

  3. Choose "New Button or Link"

  4. Create new button titled "Create Plan" with a "Detail Page Button" Display Type, "Display in new window" Behavior, and "URL" Content Source

  5. Add the URL "https://app.recapped.io" into the URL field below

  6. Hit the "save" button

  7. Navigate to "Page Layouts" on the left hand panel

  8. Drag the new "Create Plan" button into the Quick Actions (Salesforce Classic) or Experience Actions (Salesforce Lightning)

Create validation rules to enforce Mutual Action Plans

To ensure that your team is following best practices and using Recapped on your most important deals, you can set up a validation rule. This sample validation rule will require the "Recapped_URL__C" field (that was created above) when moving an opportunity into stage "Closed Won" or "Negotiation/Review".

Simply change the below StageName's to match your own stages in Salesforce.

AND ( 
OR (
ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won"),
ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Negotiation/Review")),
ISBLANK(Recapped_URL__C)
)
