An administrator at an enterprise technology firm is setting up a Salesforce Campaign for a global virtual summit. The marketing team requires that when prospective leads register and attend the summit, their engagement is accurately counted as a response in Campaign hierarchy statistics and reporting. Additionally, the team needs existing campaign history to remain associated when these leads are converted into contacts. Which configuration step should the administrator take to ensure campaign responses are accurately tracked?
- Edit the Campaign Member Statuses for the campaign to ensure the 'Attended' status value has the 'Responded' checkbox selected.Answer
- BCreate a custom lead field for 'Attended Status' and map it to a custom Contact field using Lead Conversion Field Mapping.
- CAdd 'Attended' as a custom picklist value on the Campaign object and set it as the default campaign type.
- DCreate a custom roll-up summary field on the Campaign object to count members with the text status 'Attended'.
Answer
Edit the Campaign Member Statuses for the campaign to ensure the 'Attended' status value has the 'Responded' checkbox selected.
In Salesforce Campaign Management, responses are tracked by setting the 'Responded' checkbox on specific Campaign Member Status values (e.g., 'Attended'). When a member's status is changed to a status flagged as 'Responded', Salesforce updates campaign metrics such as Total Responses. Furthermore, when a lead is converted, Salesforce automatically links all existing Campaign Member history to the newly created Contact record without requiring custom lead field mapping.
