Instead of documenting visits and calls with the standard activity record of Salesforce we have added a Visit Report feature: Send visit reports to your business partners after a meeting from ADvendio.com. Add a record to your media campaign and send out the email. There are two types of visit reports:

  1. The simple version for online advertising under the media campaign's related lists offers enough space to quickly create a report and add it to the campaign to keep track of past activities. 
  2. The more complex visit report for print advertising displayed as the button "Visit Reports" in the media campaign's details, allows you to write complete emails and send them to multiple recipients. Stored as separate objects, you can create pdf reports to evaluate your visit reports.


1 Create New Visit Report for Online Media

Open a media campaign and scroll down to its related list Visit Reports. Click New Visit Report. As Record Type for the Visit Report choose Sent as this has already happened and been sent to the customer. You're just trying to document the activity directly at the Media Campaign.

1.1 Enter Visit Report Information

Now enter information on the meeting.

  1. Select the involved account using the look-up function and add the contact you have visited.
  2. The field Date requires both information on date and time.

You will then find the visit report as a record of the related list Visit Reports.

A visit report for print media contains a lot of information.

  3. Click into the field Recipient Names to select the persons you would like to send this report to. A new window opens, displaying contacts and mailing lists. Click on one of these to add them to the recipients. Click them a second time to remove them from the list of recipients.
  4. Under Additional Information, you can provide information on the next steps you plan to take.
  5. If have predefined templates for your visit reports you can choose one here and the information of the template will automatically be used in your visit report. For more information see also 2.3.4 Create VisitReportTemplates
