About Legacy Salesforce App Installation

Attention: We’ve introduced a new version of the app with an improved installation process. See The New Salesforce App Experience for more details.

This guide is intended to help Salesforce administrators install and properly configure the Qualtrics App on the Salesforce AppExchange. While we do provide step-by-step instructions to complete the installation and configuration, this guide assumes some prior familiarity with Salesforce administration, including editing user profiles, permission sets, object layouts, and search layouts.

Qtip: While most of the functionality is the same for both versions, several sections of this page will split into separate steps for Salesforce Classic and Salesforce Lightning Experience to account for user interface differences. For more on Salesforce Lightning vs. Classic, see Salesforce’s support documentation.
Attention: The app requires access to the Qualtrics v3 API and the Qualtrics Salesforce Extension. If you don’t have access to these features, reach out to your Qualtrics Account Executive for more information.

Contents of the App

The app comes pre-packaged with a number of custom features meant to help with the usage and administration of the app. The purpose of each of these features is briefly summarized below.

CUSTOM PROFILES SETTINGS AND PERMISSION SETS

Custom profiles settings come in two forms: Qualtrics Admin and Qualtrics User. These settings are applied to profiles during the installation process and give different levels of access to features within the app.

  • Qualtrics Admin: Provides access to administrative tools within the app. In addition to distributing surveys, administrators can create and edit them. Administrators can also read and edit Survey records and Survey Response records.
  • Qualtrics User: Provides access to send surveys via the app. Users can distribute existing surveys but are not able to edit or create new ones. In addition, Users are granted read (but not create) permissions on Survey Responses and both read and create permissions on Surveys.

Permission sets is another feature that mirrors the functionality of the profile settings described above, but can be applied at any time and will update with new releases to the app. If a user is given a permission set but is not granted a profile setting during the installation process, they will need to be given permission to view the Qualtrics Surveys tab manually.

CUSTOM OBJECTS

  • Survey Responses: This object is a pre-built warehouse for survey responses. It stores each response to a Qualtrics survey and relates that response back to the record of the survey taker. This object comes with many fields, and these can be hidden, deleted, or added to as desired by a Salesforce Administrator.
  • Surveys: This object tracks surveys that have been distributed through the Qualtrics app. Each time a survey is sent out via the app, a new record is created in the Survey object. Survey responses can be related back to the Survey record when responses are mapped back to Salesforce, making it easier to track survey responses for each distribution sent with the app.

CUSTOM BUTTONS

  • List view buttons: These buttons allow users to generate a List View of Contacts, Leads, or Campaigns and then send a survey to each record in the list view.
  • Campaign layout button: This button allows users to view an individual Campaign record and, from the record view, distribute a survey to the entire Campaign.

CUSTOM TABS

  • Qualtrics Surveys: This tab allows users to view Survey records for surveys that have been sent using the app. It also allows app administrators to specify message settings.
  • Qualtrics Vocalize: If your license currently has CX Dashboards enabled, this tab allows you to view any dashboards that you have access to.

Installing the App

The legacy Salesforce app is no longer widely available. Please use the updated app instead. If you require access to the legacy Salesforce app, please contact Qualtrics Support. Note that not all Qualtrics features may be compatible with the legacy app.

After the initialization process is complete, you’ll be presented with a page asking who you’d like to install the app for. This page is used to apply the custom profile settings mentioned in the prior section. Look at each of the options below to find which setting sounds best for you and follow the instructions for that option.

Qtip: Our recommended method is to install the app for Specific Profiles.

There are 3 installation options to choose from:

  • Install for Admins Only: This option installs the app only for users with the System Admin profile and grants full administrative access to all System Admins.
  • Install for All Users: This option installs the app for all users in your Salesforce org and grants all users full administrative access to the Qualtrics App.
  • Install for Specific Profiles: This option installs the app for specific profiles and grants varying access levels according to your specifications. Before clicking Install, scroll down and select for each profile what level of access to grant users with that profile: No Access, Full (administrative) Access, or Qualtrics Standard user.

When the installation process is complete, apply the Qualtrics Admin and Qualtrics User permission sets as needed to users you would like to be able to use the app. This will ensure that future app updates will grant these users necessary permissions.
