Installation and initial setup

We recommend installing MonetizeNow Managed Package App into a Salesforce Sandbox to start testing with.

Your Sandbox instance can be of any type – Developer, Developer Pro, Partial Copy or Full. If you have existing data in Salesforce that you want to test with, the “Partial Copy” usually works best.

1. Ask your MonetizeNow representative for the latest package ID and the installation password
2. Create a URL using the prefix of your Salesforce sandbox domain as follows
   1. https://your-salesforce-domain.my.salesforce.com/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=package-id
3. We recommend installing just for Administrators - you will need to assign provided permission sets to any users that need access to MonetizeNow
   1. Wait for the package to be installed (you will get an email once finished)

Connect MonetizeNow Tenant to the MonetizeNow Managed Package App in Salesforce

In order for data to be synchronized from MonetizeNow to Salesforce, you now need to connect your MonetizeNow tenant to your Salesforce instance

2. Click the gear on the sidebar and choose CRM under the Integrations section
3. Click the Connect button

Important Note

If your Salesforce org restricts the login domain to your custom Salesforce domain, then choose Use Custom Domain before attempting to login

In production, we recommend that you create an integration user for this purpose.
