Frequently Asked Questions

Immediately upon installation, you can build a competition around any of the following objects:

• Leads
• Accounts
• Contacts
• Tasks
• Events
• Opportunities
• Chatter
• Cases

Yes. Upon installation, our app will automatically allow you to access any field – standard or custom. We have an abundance of comparators you can use against those fields to motivate just about any behavior you can imagine.

Yes. You will need to setup a custom trigger to connect our app to your custom object. We can share the instructions and “cut and paste” code to help you through the process. After you apply the custom Trigger, you can make it available within our builder wizard.

No. Our app was built 100% on Force.com and is completely native to Salesforce. Everything was built using Apex code and Visual Force pages. This helps support our easy install process.

Enterprise and Unlimited only. We would love to work with Professional Edition, however Professional Edition does not allow you to have user-level security based on profiles. Our app is built to allow certain users to build competitions (e.g., a sales manager), and other users to participate in a competition (a salesperson). Professional Edition would not allow you to do this. We are planning to have a version available for Professional Edition. Email us if you are interested.

Yes. You can run up to 20 contests at the same time. You need different things out of different people, so this allows you to focus your competitions accordingly.

No! Many clients don’t offer prizes at all. We’ve learned that salespeople are mostly motivated by the competition versus the prize itself. A prize is a nice way to make things interesting for the team though. Our real time leaderboard and automatic contest updates keeps everyone motivated more than anything else.

You will only need a license for people who will be interacting with our app. The brunt of this will be your sales team. You will also want additional licenses for your Salesforce admin and any managers who will want to build contests or be able to see the contest leaderboards. License pricing is the same for all users.

No. Salesforce does not count our objects or the use of our app against the limits within your org.

To get started, go to our AppExchange listing and click on the Get It Now button. This will walk you through the standard prompts to install an app into your Salesforce org. You must be a Salesforce Administrator in order to install. About 10-15 minutes after you click the Install button, you will receive an email from Salesforce to let you know that your install was successful, as well as an email from us with instructions on how to get started. Our 5-step install wizard will walk you through the process of identifying the users you want to have access to the app. This most commonly includes Salesforce admins, sales managers who may want to build competitions for their own team, as well as the end salespeople who would participate and be tracked on a leaderboard.

Yes. To get started, go to our AppExchange listing and click on the Get It Now button. This will automatically give you a 14-day free trial for up to 25 users. Clients typically start seeing value within a few days and are ready to get started. We will soon be coming out with a month-to-month option that will allow you to use the application for longer with less financial risk. Contact us if you would like to learn more.

Yes. You just won’t benefit from the Chatter features but everything else will work fine. Upon install, our app will detect if you have Chatter enabled. If it is not, the Chatter options will be greyed out. We highly recommend you start using Chatter – it’s very powerful!
