Putting Our Customers Front & Center

At Passage Technology, we put our customers at the center of everything we do. One way we’re doing this is by making it easy to choose the support style you prefer. On our new support page, you can choose from email/logging a support case, reading Knowledge Articles, or having a live chat, to reaching out to the Trailblazer community for each of our apps.

“Our support staff are all dedicated team members, and are not outsourced, which allows us to provide faster turnaround times and communication,” explains Passage Technology’s Operations Manager, Jacob Blair. Go to Support to check it out.

Lookup Helper Goes Next Level With New Child Filters

Now users have the ability to add child filters to Lookup Helper Settings and apply additional matching criteria to the child Object. This helps narrow down the amount of matching children, giving users more control. While creating or editing a setting, users can either create a new child filter, or assign a previously created child filter. For a complete list of updates, check out Lookup Helper Release Notes v10.3. 

The image below shows how you can get started by selecting Add a Child Filter.

Ask PT About Using Automation to Assign Leads to Accounts in Salesforce 

Ask PT InstagramDear PT, 

Like many Salesforce® users, we have to manually assign Leads to their related Account. Of course, this opens up the potential for errors. It would be nice if we could automate this process and then notify the correct salesperson about the new Lead. Any thoughts on how we could easily do this?
