I’m seeking best practices for implementing and tracking multi-threading in Salesloft for BDR/SDR team. The parent cadence will have steps the team member doesn’t need to complete on a multi-thread. I’m not certain I want the BDR skipping steps, so I’m considering adding separate cadences that are “linked” to the parent cadence so we can track the implementation and activity of additional people at a company. One of the workspace cadence groupings is by account, so the BDR will have an efficient way to see all steps for an account. Any feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated!

When creating meeting in Salesloft I want the meeting to be created in Salesforce as well.   The issue is I need the meeting to be assigned to the AE but its created by the SDR.  If I make the meeting owner the AE is both the Assigned To in Salesforce (which is good) but the AE also shows as the Created By in Salesforce (which is bad)  I  can use the booked by field but then my reporting in Salesforce get messed up.  I need to for the SDR to be able to create the meeting in Salesloft for the AE, then in Salesforce I need the meeting to be Assigned To the AE and created by the SDR. I’ve tried everything I can think of, any suggestions? 

Contact attributes in Drift have two names- the display name seen within the Drift app and the API name used by Drift systems and the Drift developer API.  Sometimes, you may need to refer to a Contact attribute via the API name, such as when using personalization tokens within a Drift playbook. How do I find the API name of a Drift contact attribute?There are several ways to find the API name of a Drift Contact attribute but first it’s important to understand that Drift will automatically convert the display name of an attribute to snake_case. In other words, if you create a custom contact attribute with a display name of “My Awesome Attribute”, Drift will record the API name as “my_awesome_attribute”. Special characters are ignored during this conversion to snake_case, so that a display name of “Dave’s Awesome Attribute!” would be given an API name of “daves_awesome_attribute”.  And finally, Drift will also convert other case styles to snake_case. Some examples include: Display Name

Hi all, I have a question about the email layout in cadences. As soon as I try to add mutable pictures, I struggle to get a nice layout as I would get in Outlook direct. Has anybody ideas how I can import, add nice email layouts to cadences in SalesLoft? Thanks

I tend to start off outbound cadences with text emails and then during the cadence steps add links. I Get good views but wanted to get feedback from others on what works best for them with building out cadences targeting new prospects. 

Hi all, I am new to Drift, and I am struggling to get the best out of it. We are divided by federal State, but I don’t see a filter option in Drift. Thus, I see many accounts and contacts that are not relevant to me.  Can somebody help? Thanks,Esther 

Did you know that you can build dynamic links within a playbook by inserting a contact attribute as a personalization token into the URL?  This let’s you do things like build a unique link to a resource depending on the site visitor or direct a site visitor to a knowledge base search page with the search query pre-populated.Setting this up is fairly easy, you just need two things:The Drift contact attribute holding the value you’d like to add to the dynamic URL.  In the demo shared below, I use a custom field called “search_term” which holds the site visitor’s input from a previous question node in the playbook. The URL to which you’d like to append or insert the dynamic value.  In the demo I use the Salesloft help page search URL which looks like: https://help.salesloft.com/s/global-search/With these two pieces of information you can build your dynamic URL. In the editor of the playbook node where the dynamic link will be displayed, use the create a link button to populate the visible

Have you used the Salesloft AI Assistant? If you look on the lower-right corner of your screen, you’ll see it represented by a small icon that looks like a speech balloon (click on the icon to launch it). Better yet, you can also find it in the Salesloft platform - go to your Profile, then click on ‘Ask a Question.’ I’d love your feedback on two questions -Have you used the Assistant? How can we continue to improve it? ‘Salesloft AI Assistant’ can be a mouthful. Should we name it to something more personal (for example, like ‘Siri’ on your iPhone)?

Is there a way to identify specific emails within a cadence where the BDR has personalized the content? Is it possible to determine which step in the cadence has been personalized the most? How does the snippets reporting work? e.g. if we want snippets to be factored as personalization, is there a way to show that usage by individual user?

Personalization increases success, without a doubt.Where I’ve had issues in the past is being able to enforce it or draw rep’s attention to the fact that they should be personalizing in their cadences or templates. The lovely team at Salesloft informed me that a great and quick way to do this is by creating a custom field called Personalize Here, not mapping it to anything, and then adding to emails where you want reps to personalize.When they attempt to send the email without personalizing, they’ll get an error because the variable isn’t pulling anything in.Definitely not foolproof, as they could remove it, but at least they get the automated guidance that they should be personalizing in-app in real time.

We are evaluating AI Parallel Dialers to increase the number of live conversations. Any tips?

A user cannot import leads from Salesforce to Salesloft. All CRM connections, Chrome ext.., etc., have been checked, re-installed, etc. He clicks on leads and it seems to start moving to the Salesloft screen as if the import will complete, and then the Salesloft screen view just disappears. The leads do not import.Any suggestions?

I recently logged a support case because several coworkers were having trouble importing a Salesforce report into Salesloft. The import would get stuck on the 100% screen and wouldn’t finish. Salesloft support confirmed it was a bug that their engineering team was investigating.I noticed that a new version of the Salesloft Chrome extension (v1.4.0) was released on 11/14/24, according to the release notes. I went ahead and updated the extension, but I didn’t see anything in the notes mentioning a fix for the import issue. Will the release notes be updated to reflect whether this bug was addressed?Here’s the link for reference:Salesloft Chrome Extension Release Notes

Has anyone implemented a single team cadence for a post-webinar follow up for both registered and actual attendees? We’d like to provide different messaging to each group on the first step. I was looking at leaving the email step blank and offering two templates for our reps to insert, depending on the lead. Any other ideas?

My coworkers and I have noticed the Salesloft Chrome extension banner appearing more frequently today. I checked the Salesloft Chrome extension release notes, and it looks like a bug fix was released on 11/5/24 to roll back to version 1.3.12 due to reported issues with the "Loft It" button.After reloading the browser, the banner still appears sporadically throughout the day. Do you know when this issue will be fully resolved?  

Will the articles from community.drift.com migrate over to this hub? A coworker wanted to share a discussion post with me related to "IntegrationRequest failed and no fallback available" failures in Drift that she found last week, but I get redirected to the Champions Hub homepage when I click the link and nothing pops up when I search "IntegrationRequest”. I’m not in desperate need of the info in the discussion, but it did bring up this point that I’m curious about.

Our team recently observed the appearance of a new “Loft It” button within Google Calendar (GCal) events, seemingly replacing the standard “Save” button. When users update a Google Calendar event and select the “Loft It” button, both a new GCal and Salesforce event are created, which also triggers an additional meeting notification for external participants.Key ConcernsDuplicate Notifications and Records: When the "Loft It" button is used, external recipients receive another notification for the meeting, which can lead to confusion. Additionally, multiple entries in GCal and Salesforce may appear as duplicate records, potentially cluttering calendars and systems. Documentation Gap: There’s currently no official Salesloft documentation that outlines the function and expected behavior of this feature. The existing knowledge article, last updated on November 21, 2023, still refers to the previous Chrome extension. The features between the two different extensions are different.  Saleslo
