Salesforce connects through an External Client App with no package key, payouts reach partners earlier and nudge them only when they can act, and the review of a form submission no longer stops at Return. Most of this release is the second pass on September: money that moves, partners who have to set themselves up to receive it, and reviews that have to end in a decision. Setting up Salesforce in minutes is the [time to value](/why/time-to-value) bet, and everything else here is the same bet applied to the weeks after go-live. ### Salesforce connects through an External Client App in the package Introw now connects to Salesforce through an **External Client App** that ships inside the Introw package, replacing the connected app. Install the package, then choose **Connect to Introw** in the Introw Setup app in Salesforce. There is no OAuth app to approve first, no card key to connect, and Introw refuses an authorization from the wrong Salesforce org. An org on the older connected app moves in place with the same two steps, mappings kept, and you can rotate the package key yourself. Admins connect in minutes, which is the [time to value](/why/time-to-value) bet. See [Connect Salesforce](/features/integrations/crm/guides/connect-salesforce), [Embed Introw in Salesforce](/features/integrations/crm/guides/embed-introw-in-salesforce) and [Salesforce permissions and scopes](/features/integrations/crm/guides/salesforce-permissions-and-scopes). ### Partners see a payout as soon as it leaves Draft Only **Draft** stays internal now. A payout in **Pending approval**, **Approved** or **Blocked** shows in the partner's Commissions section, and your team's comments on it show too unless you mark them internal. Partners stop asking where their money is, which keeps the portal and your internal stages on the same page, the [CRM-native](/why/crm-native) bet applied to payouts. See [Payouts](/features/commissions/payouts/technical#the-stages-a-payout-moves-through). ### Payout reminders check the partner's portal first **Remind partner** goes out only when the partner can act on it. If the portal has no **Payout setup** section, or the champion cannot open its tab, the payout offers **Add payout setup** or **Manage tab access** and **Change champion** instead of sending an email that leads nowhere. The email opens the right tab with setup open, which is the [work-where-you-are](/why/work-where-you-are) bet. See [Get partners ready to be paid](/features/commissions/introw-pay/guides/get-partners-ready-to-be-paid). Payout setup now starts with **Business details**, then the method, then the payout terms. The details prefill Stripe and print in a **From** block on the statement. Bank transfer via Stripe is marked **Recommended**, and PayPal shows **Coming soon**. ### Revert a commission import in one step **Revert** on the **Imports** tab voids every line a file created, frees its row IDs and keeps the import as **Reverted**. A corrected file can then book the same rows again, instead of skipping rows one by one, which is the [low total cost of ownership](/why/low-tco) bet. See [Import commissions from a file](/features/commissions/commission-plans/guides/import-commissions-from-a-file). ### Fix a submission in place and finish the review On a form without an approval gate, saving an edited submission resubmits it as **Auto accepted** and sends the corrected values to your CRM. With a gate, the **Accept** dialog opens for the approvers of the current step, and **Accept**, **Decline** and **Return** show only to them. A typo no longer bounces through **Return**, which is the [low total cost of ownership](/why/low-tco) bet. See [Submissions and approvals](/features/forms/submissions-approvals/technical#editing-a-submission). ### Links in workflow emails and chat messages The variable list has a new **Links** group: the portal link, a collaboration link, a task link, and the form or course links you pick. On a form or course trigger, **Current form** and **Current course** point at the one the run is about. A message sends the partner straight to the right place, which is the [work-where-you-are](/why/work-where-you-are) bet. See [Workflows](/features/automation/workflows/technical#variables). ### A rebuilt view for shared deals A shared deal opens in one view with a new header: breadcrumbs, **Previous** and **Next** arrows between the rows of the list you came from, and **View in** your CRM. Partners and reps keep their place in a long pipeline, which is the [work-where-you-are](/why/work-where-you-are) bet. See [Collaborate on a shared deal](/features/co-selling/shared-pipelines/guides/collaborate-on-a-shared-deal). ### Also in this release **Commissions and Introw Pay** * **The Pay now invoice is in US dollars, paid by US bank transfer**, also for EUR companies.
