PSA – Salesforce Integration

This guide describes the procedures for setting up integration between Salesforce and PSA, as well as mapping, importing and exporting objects between PSA and Salesforce.

Introduction

The purpose of a Salesforce and PSA integration is to accommodate your continued use and maintenance of Salesforce, and your required information be passed from Salesforce to PSA. The integration:

  1. Provides a two-way communication between Salesforce and PSA.
  2. Allows you to see what is coming down the "pipeline" from Salesforce, as a result allowing for proper planning using the PSA Work Plans (Resource Management) and allocating a role to a Salesforce opportunity that may become an PSA project. This is accomplished by having information imported from Salesforce into PSA:
    1. Salesforce Accounts imported as Clients in PSA.
    2. Salesforce Opportunities imported as Projects in PSA.
      OR
    3. Salesforce Projects (custom object imported as Projects in PSA).

      Note: You must choose to either use Salesforce Opportunities or Projects. Switching from one setup to the other will cause loss of data.

    4. Some Salesforce Users are imported, allowing manual publication of Salesforce opportunities.
  3. Allows financial information, both actuals (time, cost, billing) and budgets, to be captured for the Salesforce Accounts, Opportunities and Users. This is accomplished by having information exported to Salesforce from PSA.

Note: For integration purposes, Salesforce is the primary and PSA the secondary to ensure that only one set of data exists in both applications. For example, if changes are applied to an object in Salesforce that has already been imported into PSA, then Salesforce (primary) performs the updates in PSA (secondary) when the object is re-imported. However, if PSA Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are associated to the Salesforce projects, then the KPIs are tracked in PSA and updated in Salesforce.

The integration process between PSA and Salesforce consists of the following steps:

Configure Salesforce Environment

  1. Configure Tenrox Settings Information
  2. Adding the Tenrox UniqueID field to Page Layouts (Account, Opportunity, Contact and User)
  3. Adding the Import to Tenrox field on the User Page Layout
  4. Adding Projects tab
  5. Adding a Publish link to Opportunity Page Layout

Configure Tenrox Settings Information

  1. Click to expand the Custom Code navigation menu.
  2. From the available options, click Custom Settings.
  3. Upon the Custom Settings page displaying, click Manage.
  4. From the Tenrox Settings page, click New.

  5. Under Tenrox Settings Information section, enter the following:
    1. Location: Select Profile, then click the search button and choose the System Administrator Profile from the available options.
    2. Organization Name: Enter your PSA OrgName.
    3. Tenrox URL: Enter the PSA URL.

  6. Click Save to apply your changes.

Note: The Organization name is part of the URL when accessing PSA. As an example, if your PSA URL is: https://yourcopamnyname.tenrox.net/TEnterprise/Core/Base/Logon.aspx?orgname=yourcopamnyname, then your Organization name = yourcopamnyname.

Adding the Tenrox UniqueID field to Page Layouts (Account, Opportunity, Contact and User)

The configuring of the Salesforce environment requires the following:

  • Adding the Tenrox UniqueID field to Page Layouts (Account, Opportunity, Contact and User)
  • Adding the Import to Tenrox field to the User Page Layout
  • Adding a Publish Project or Opportunity link

    Note: You must choose to either use Salesforce Opportunities or Projects. Switching from one setup to the other will cause loss of data.

Note: The Tenrox UniqueID field allows PSA users to change the name of a client, project, user, etc., without affecting PSA's ability to identify each of these objects. In any integration, it is helpful for each system to keep track of the Unique ID of each object that is shared between the two systems. This Tenrox UniqueID field is PSA's way to ensure that PSA and Salesforce agree on an identifier for each object.

When a Salesforce Account, Opportunity or User is sent to PSA, the Tenrox UniqueID field is automatically populated in Salesforce. Therefore, there is no need to manually enter anything in the field. This indicates, to any Salesforce user, that this object is integrated with PSA.

The Import to Tenrox field is an option only on the Salesforce User, that must be selected to indicate a User who is to be imported as a User in PSA.

  10. Upon the confirmation box displaying, click Yes.

Mapping Objects Between Salesforce and PSA

After the Salesforce connection is set up, the system automatically maps certain imported objects from Salesforce to objects existing in PSA by default. The mapping of objects between Salesforce and PSA ensures that the information is transferred properly and reliably during the import and export processes.

The mapping of PSA Users and CRM Users serves as an example of how fields are mapped between Salesforce and PSA objects since the mapping of the fields between the Salesforce and PSA objects is similar for the other objects, which include the following:

Note: For all mapping, please refer to your designated PSA consultant to confirm what the most appropriate mapping are for your organization's PSA and Salesforce integration.

Mapping CRM Users to PSA Users

To map CRM Users to PSA Users:

  1. Login to PSA.
  2. From the Icon Bar click Integrations .
  3. From the Navigation Menu click CRM.
  4. Navigate to the Mapping tab.
  5. From Mapping types select CRM Users to PSA Users.
  6. Click the Copy and Associate button to create the user-defined fields in PSA and associate them to the PSA Users profile.

    Note: When the Copy and Associate icon is gray, the field exists in the PSA User profile and is already mapped. When the Copy and Associate icon is blue, the entry does not exist in the PSA User profile and is not mapped. If a user-defined field with the same name and type already exists in PSA, then the system automatically maps the imported Salesforce field to the existing user-defined field in PSA.

  7. Verify that the appropriate PSA Field has an assigned CRM Field.

    Note: By default User Defined Fields will be added to General tab of User Edit page. To access and move these UDFs to another tab, click the User Defined Fields button.

  8. Click the User Defined Fields button to move or reposition the mapped Fields created as UDFs within the required tab.
  9. Click Save and then Back to save your changes and return to the previous page.

    Note: For all mapping, please refer to your designated PSA consultant to confirm what the most appropriate mapping are for your organization's PSA and Salesforce integration.

  12. Click Save and then Back to save your changes and return to the previous page.

Mapping the PSA KPIs to the Salesforce Fields

PSA provides Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to help companies monitor the efficiency of their projects and employees against operational targets. The PSA KPIs track and transfer specific project-related information from PSA to Salesforce using a set of KPI fields.

Note: Since all updates to the KPI fields originate in PSA, PSAis the primary application (master). The information between Salesforce and PSA is synchronized through the Automation Processing.

To map the PSA KPIs to the Salesforce fields:

  1. Login to PSA.
  2. From the Icon Bar click Integrations .
  3. From the Navigation Menu click CRM.
  4. Ensure the CRM System selected is Salesforce.
  5. Navigate to the Mapping tab.
  6. Click PSA Kpis to CRM Project.
  7. Select the corresponding Salesforce field from the CRM Fields list for each of the PSA KPI fields that you want to map.

    Note: For all mapping, please refer to your designated PSA consultant to confirm what the most appropriate mapping are for your organization's PSA and Salesforce integration.

  8. Click Save to apply your changes.

    Note: After the fields are mapped, the information is transferred to Salesforce projects when the Automation Processing options are scheduled to run.

  9. Click Back to return to the previous page.

Default Out-Of-The-Box mapped objects

After the Salesforce connection is set up, the system automatically maps certain imported objects from Salesforce to objects existing in PSA by default. This mapping ensures that the information is transferred properly and reliably during the import and export processes. The tables below illustrate Default Out-Of-The-Box mapped objects.

Advanced Options

The Advanced Options page is used to define the conditions for importing, updating and deleting the objects, as well as setting the pre- and post-processes to trigger the successful import, update or deletion of objects. For more information, see the following

Defining the Custom Integration Settings

From the Advanced Options page, users can:

  • Define the custom filters to apply conditions to the filter queries for the Salesforce objects that are imported, updated or deleted in PSA
  • Define the custom operations when importing, updating or deleting Salesforce objects
  • Define the project fields that need to be imported from Salesforce.com into PSA but cannot be mapped through PSA; the fields are used to customize functionality
To define the conditions for the custom filters:
  1. Login to PSA.
  2. From the Icon Bar click Integrations .
  3. From the Navigation Menu click CRM.
  4. Ensure the CRM System selected is Salesforce.
  5. Navigate to the Advanced Options tab to add or edit the user-defined queries in the system defined statement boxes. A system defined statement is available for each filter.
    1. Import filter logic: allows you to specify which objects are imported.
    2. Update filter logic: allows you to specify which objects are updated.
    3. Delete filter logic: allows you to specify which objects are deleted.

      Note:

      • The system defined statement is followed by a user-defined query that is used to filter the list of projects that are imported, updated or deleted in PSA.
      • The format of a user-defined query is set as an SQL statement. The user-defined query is used only with the Automation Service since objects manually pushed from Salesforce do not need to meet the filter conditions to be successfully imported into PSA.
  6. Click the Validate query button to run the query on Salesforce.
    1. If the query syntax is valid, the query returns the number of records for the import and update filters.
    2. If the query syntax is not valid, the query is not processed and an error message is displayed for the import and update filters.
    3. If no query is defined for the delete filter, no projects are deleted and an error message is displayed.

      Note: When a project is deleted, the project, case or opportunity is set to TenroxUniqueId = “” and since the default condition of the Import filter logic is to import any projects, cases or opportunities with TenroxUniqueId = “”, a user-defined condition needs is defined for the Import filter logic to prevent deleted projects from being re-imported.

  7. Click the Copy to clipboard to copy the query to the clipboard and paste it into an editor, such as Apex Explorer, to correct syntax errors.
  8. Under the Pre/post processing define the stored procedures that trigger the custom functions performed before or after the Salesforce objects are imported, updated or deleted in PSA.
    1. Execute before delete: defines the stored procedure that is triggered before a deletion occurs; it runs on every project marked for deletion.
    2. Execute after create: defines the stored procedure that is triggered after a creation occurs; it runs on every newly imported project.
    3. Execute before update: defines the stored procedure that is triggered before the actual updates occur to the project; occurs before the Execute after update procedure.
    4. Execute after update: defines the stored procedure that is triggered after an update successfully completes.

      Note:

      • The pre- and post-processing run the stored procedures when an action is carried out by the Automation Service; for example, creating a task for a specific work type after a project is imported. The stored procedures only affect objects that are imported, updated or deleted through the automation service in PSA or pushed out of Salesforce.
      • All stored procedures must be setup to accept the following input parameters (as defined below):
        • USERUID
        • TenroxObjectType
        • TenroxObjectID
        • IntegrationObjectType
        • IntegrationObjectID
  9. Enter a list of project fields, separated by a comma, that should be imported from Salesforce to PSAbut cannot be mapped through PSA in the Use this area to add fields to the returned query (separate fields by comma) box.
  10. Click Save save the changes.

    Note: When the filter logic statements are saved, the syntax of the queries is validated. If an error is encountered for a given filter, a message displays that the syntax of the filter is invalid and to validate the syntax for proper integration.

  11. Click Import Status to view the status of the imported objects; for more information, see Verifying the Status of Imports.
Verifying the Status of Imports
  1. From the Advanced Options tab, click Import Status to verify the synchronization status of a specific object or objects.
  2. Select the required search criteria from the following available options:
    1. Status: Status of last update, options include Success or Failure.
    2. CRM Object: Name of the Salesforce object that was updated.
    3. Name: Name of Salesforce object that is synchronized.
    4. Date: Date and time of the last update.
    5. CRM Object Id: ID of Salesforce.com object that was updated.
    6. Message: Error message describing an encountered failure condition.
    7. Updated by: Name of user who performed the last update; if the update is performed by the automation service, Automation Service is displayed.
  3. Enter the required search term then click the Search button.
  4. Click Back to exit the Import Status page.

Importing Users into PSA

This section details how to import a User from Salesforce to PSA to allow the user to be recognized in both environments.

Note: There may be many users in Salesforce not needed to be imported to PSA. For example, there may be many users who will never need to publish a project or track time in PSA.
