These instructions are for administrators to install the Pathfactory for Revenue Intelligence package within Salesforce. You will be enabling a tab for PathFactory for Revenue Intelligence (PFRI) within your Salesforce app navigation, and then connecting PFRI dashboards to Account, Opportunity and Contact pages for Salesforce users to access.
The PathFactory for Revenue Intelligence package allows your sales team to see first-party buying signals directly in Salesforce. They can see true engagement with content to prioritize outreach and send experiences to their buyers to drive the velocity of their deal and ultimately close more revenue.
Note: Only Salesforce users that are also Revenue Team users in the PathFactory application will have access to the PFRI dashboards in the above mentioned Salesforce pages. For more information on user roles within PathFactory, read What are the different user roles?
