| Field | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| External Record Share Connection: Connection Name |
The vendor or partner connection that pertains to each transaction. Adding this field to your Partner Connect status report is helpful if you maintain connections with multiple companies, so you can narrow down which connection configuration is causing issues. Connection Name is a field from the External Record Share Connection object, but you can add this related field to your External Record Share Record Mapping report type to incorporate it into your reports. |
| Internal Record: Full Name |
The name of the internal lead in your org that your company uses to track lead data, which Partner Connect has either exported or imported. To see the name of a lead in the external org that’s connected to your internal lead, open the internal lead and check the record name or names shown on the Connected External Leads related list. |
| Internal Record: Opportunity Name |
The name of the internal opportunity in your org that your company uses to track opportunity data, which Partner Connect has either exported or imported. To see the name of an opportunity in the external org that’s connected to your internal opportunity, open the internal opportunity and check the record name or names shown on the Connected External Opportunities related list. |
| Outbound Status |
The status of the most recent outbound transaction that your org sent. Outbound statuses are always either exports or outbound updates that your org sent to the external org. Because partner orgs don’t export data, export transactions don’t show in a partner’s report. The inbound status that correlates with each of your outbound statuses occurred in the external org. If you want to track the end-to-end journey of an export or outbound update, ask your peer admin to build their own version of the Partner Connect status report and share the findings. |
| Inbound Status |
The status of the most recent inbound transaction that your org received. Inbound statuses are always either imports or inbound updates that your org received from the external org. Because vendor orgs don’t import data, import transactions don’t show in a vendor’s report. The outbound status that correlates with each of your inbound statuses occurred in the external org. If you want to track the end-to-end journey of an import or inbound update, ask your peer admin to build their own version of the Partner Connect status report and share the findings. |
| Last Modified Sent | The data and time of the most recent outbound transaction that your org sent to the external org. |

No further action is necessary. |
| Exported: Connected Record Create Error | The record was successfully exported, but the corresponding connected external record failed to be created in the partner’s org. |
If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, the connected external record is eventually created in the partner org and updated accordingly when a vendor user edits an integrated field on the corresponding vendor record, realigning the connected records. If the issue occurs repeatedly, it indicates a configuration issue. Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect. If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Exporting | The record is in the processing of exporting. |
Wait for the export to complete or fail to discern if any further action is necessary. Exports that remain in progress for more than 60 seconds are no longer attempted, and the export is attempted again if a partner user manually retries from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site. If the same record continues to fail to move beyond the Exporting status, contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Not Exported: Connection Error | The export failed due to a connection authentication issue between the vendor and partner orgs. | Vendor and partner admins must delete their connections and step through the initial setup again. See Delete Connections and Turn Off Legacy Partner Connect. |
| Not Exported: External Error | The export failed because of an opportunity or lead save error in the partner’s org. |
The vendor admin must contact the partner admin and ask them to check their email for any import issues around the date and time listed in the Last Modified Sent field for this transaction. The partner admin can rely on their IT professional for help with interpreting any technical descriptions in the csv file attached to the email. If additional help is needed, the partner admin must contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Not Exported: External Export Error | The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the partner’s ability to receive the transaction data from the vendor org. |
If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, the vendor admin must contact the partner admin and ask them to check their email for any import issues around the date and time listed in the Last Modified Sent field for this transaction. The partner admin can rely on their IT professional for help with interpreting any technical descriptions in the csv file attached to the email. If additional help is needed, the partner admin must contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Not Exported: External Field Mapping Error | The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the partner’s field mappings for this connection. |
Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect. If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Not Exported: Internal Error | The export failed because of an unknown error in the vendor org. | If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that the vendor org contacts Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Not Exported: Internal Field Mapping Error | The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the vendor’s field mappings for this connection. |
Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect. If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Update Not Sent: Can’t Find External Record | Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect can’t find the parent lead or opportunity record in the external org. | You must contact the admin at the external org and ask them to check that the corresponding parent lead or opportunity record exists, and either admin can contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Update Not Sent: Connection Error | Your org can’t send this update due to a connection authentication issue occurring in your org. | If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, vendor and partner admins must delete their connections and step through the initial setup again. Delete Connections and Turn Off Legacy Partner Connect. |
| Update Not Sent: External Delivery Error | Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the external org’s ability to receive the transaction data you’re sending. |
If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, you must alert the admin at the external org. Recommend that they check that the PRM External Integration User has Create, Read, Update, and Delete access to the platform event External Record Share Event (ExtlRecShrEvent). The admin at the external org can rely on their IT professional for help. If the PRM External Integration User has the necessary access, we recommend that the admin at the external org contacts Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Update Not Sent: External Field Mapping Error | Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect identified an issue with the field mappings for this object in the external org. |
Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect. If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Update Not Sent: Internal Field Mapping Error | Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect identified an issue with your field mappings for this object. |

After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Update Not Sent: Internal Unknown Error | Your org can’t send this update because of an unknown error in your org. | If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Update Sending | Your org is in the process of sending an update. |
Wait for the update to complete or fail to discern if any further action is necessary. Most updates that remain in the Update Sending status eventually resolve the next time one of your users edits an integrated field on the same record, and both the missed and new updates are saved to the corresponding connected record in the external org at the same time. You or another user in your org can check whether the issue resolves automatically by attempting another update on the record and running the report again. |
| Update Sent | Your org sent a record update to the external org. For the update to be successfully delivered to the external org, the external org must see a corresponding inbound transaction status of Update Received. | No further action is necessary. |
| Status | What It Means | Action for Admin to Take |
|---|---|---|
| Imported |
The record was successfully imported. If the vendor admin has elected to send and receive record updates between orgs, a connected external record was also created in the partner’s org. |
No further action is necessary. |
| Imported: Save Error on Connected External Record | The record was successfully imported, but the corresponding connected external record failed to be saved in the partner’s org. |
If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, the connected external record is eventually created in the partner org and updated accordingly when a vendor user edits an integrated field on the corresponding vendor record, realigning the connected records. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Update Not Received: Field Mapping Error | Your org can’t receive this update because Partner Connect can’t map the external org’s field mappings to your field mappings. |
Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect. If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields. |
| Update Not Received: Save Error on Connected External Record | Your org can’t receive this update because the corresponding connected external record failed to save the changes. |
If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, updates that were missed are sent the next time a user in the external org updates an integrated field on the same record. Both the missed and new updates are saved to the corresponding connected record in your org at the same time. If the issue occurs repeatedly, compare the connected external object for this record and verify that you configured each field to exactly match the corresponding field on the parent object (lead or opportunity). You could also get more information by having a partner user attempt to export a different but similar record as a test. If you’re able to trigger the same issue, the resulting import notification email sent to the partner admin includes a detailed error message in the attached csv file. |
| Update Not Received: Unknown Error | Your org can’t send this update because of an unknown error. | If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support. |
| Update Received | Your org received a record update sent from the external org and saved it to the corresponding connected external record. | No further action is necessary. |

| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Vendors | Your company and its representatives are known collectively as a vendor of the goods or services that you provide. |
| Partners |
Individuals who don’t work for your company, but with whom your company collaborates with to achieve business goals. You can collaborate and communicate with partners by building a partner site using Experience Cloud and adopting the PRM for Slack app. Through these interfaces, partners can track opportunities, get lead and fund approvals, learn insights into deal progress, coordinate marketing campaigns, and manage customer service cases. |
| Channel managers |
Also known as channel account managers. The person or persons at your company who work directly with partners and manages the channels in which partners interact. Channel managers monitor deal progress, create partner incentives, and coordinate partner enablement. At some companies channel managers are also responsible for creating business accounts for partnering companies, or for creating partner users. |
| Salesforce admin |
The person who can access Setup and customize Salesforce for your company. To get your company started with Partner Relationship Management and PRM for Slack, a Salesforce admin must give channel managers and partners access to PRM features. Salesforce admins also assign user roles to the channel managers, create partner accounts, and determine record security levels. Salesforce admins introduce features that help channel managers oversee partner activity and performance, such as productivity metrics. Salesforce admins also enable products and features in Salesforce that help partners be more productive in partner sites, such as sales, service, and marketing features. |
| Site developer |
The person who uses Digital Experiences to build the Experience Cloud sites where partners complete their daily tasks. Site developers work with Salesforce admins and channel managers to customize workflows that support partner goals, activities, and needs. Sometimes site developers are also responsible for adding key documentation or collateral to partner sites. At some companies, Salesforce admins hold the role of site developer. |
| Slack admin or Enterprise grid admin |
The person who can access Slack setup and customize PRM for Slack for your company. Slack admins manage permissions and workspaces in Slack and enable the app for installation on all Channel Manager workspaces. Enterprise Grid admins manage permissions and settings for the Slack Enterprise Grid licensed workspaces. Sometimes, the Slack admin, Enterprise Grid admin, and Salesforce admin are the same person. |
| Enablement team | The people at your company who design and run enablement programs. Channel managers should collaborate with this team if you are using Partner Enablement. |

| Why and when to create a sales channel |
Decide why your teams need sales channels and let that decision determine when to create them. For example:
|
| How many sales channels to create | The number of sales channels that you need depends on your deal volume and your sales team. If you cover a couple accounts that have multiple opportunities, or you work with the same sales team across all your opportunities, a single sales channel can make sense. If you have 20 opportunities or your sales team changes across opportunities, it makes more sense to set up multiple sales channels. |
| Who to invite to the sales channel | When you set up the sales channel, add your core sales team members to the channel. As deals progress through the sales cycle, add other cross-functional team members that have roles in the later stages. For example, your Legal counsel or contract approver isn’t included in the demo stages of your deal. Add those team members as the deal reaches phases that include contract discussions. Also consider whether to create a public or private channel. Any stakeholder can join public channels. To join a private channel, an existing channel member must invite the stakeholder. You can't set a private channel to public later. |
| What to name a sales channel | Establish a common naming convention to make it easy for your sales teams to find sales channels and prevent team members from creating duplicate channels. For example, #oppty-opportunity-name, #acct-account-name, or #sales-acct-name-oppty-name is a convention you can use that’s based on which records are in the channel. You can also establish conventions based on the purpose of the channel, as described in the Why and when to create a sales channel section. |

| Result | Description |
|---|---|
| Average Prediction Score |
The overall predicted likelihood to reach the outcome defined in the model, across the first 2000 records in the report. In Einstein Discovery, a prediction is a derived value, produced by a model, that represents a possible future outcome. You can think of a prediction as the output of a predictive model that is based on the inputs of predictor variables that the model accepts. |
| Top Predictors | The conditions that most significantly drive the predicted outcome, in decreasing order of magnitude. A condition is a data value associated with a column. In Einstein Discovery, a predictor consists of one or two conditions. |
| How to Improve this Outcome |
Suggested action, based on prescriptive analytics, that a user can take to improve the likelihood of a desired outcome. Improvements are associated with actionable variables, which are explanatory variables that people can control. Taking a suggested action can improve the predicted outcome. An improvement is analogous to a prescription in prescriptive analytics. Improvements are shown based on the model's actionable variables. Actionable variables are optional. If no actionable variables are configured, improvements aren’t shown in results. |
| Records Least Likely to Reach a Successful Outcome |
The records in the report with the strongest predicted likelihood to be unsuccessful, among the first 2000 records in the report. Success is based on the goal defined in the model. Requires binary classification model. |
