Visit Accounts Updates

Sales reps can now add accounts to a visit in Salesforce from the list of existing accounts they have access to. An account can be added to a visit regardless of its status. The "Recently Viewed" accounts will appear at the top of the "Visit Accounts" lookup, while other existing accounts can be searched for as needed.

Accounts can also be removed from a visit, regardless of its status, by clicking the "More" menu and selecting the "Remove" button next to the specific account. Additionally, users can review all accounts assigned to the visit by clicking the "View All" button, as only up to three accounts are displayed on the Visit Overview page.

Upon adding/removing an account to the visit, it will be immediately reflected in the Engagement Hub.



Engagement Hub side

When adding an account into the Engagement Hub directly, if the account has a valid Account ID from Salesforce, when that account is synchronized from Nexus to Salesforce, the associated standard Salesforce account will be linked to the visit. If a valid Account ID is not found, a ‘Nexus Visit Account’ will be created and added to the visit. The Account Icon used for ‘Nexus Visit Account’ objects uses a different color pattern so it can be differentiated from a standard Salesforce Account.
