Transitioning from Courier to a Composer and Batch Solution
To transition from a Courier to a Composer and Batch solution, take the following steps:
- Convert Data Gathering Reports to Conga Queries.
- Build a Conga Global Merge Solution.
-
Add the query you created from Step 1 to the solution and
use the template builder to build a template.
Note:
We recommend using an Excel template for this step.
- Create a Conga email template to use with Global Merge.
- Determine from the Courier schedule who the recipients are and add those email addresses to the Global Merge Solution using the EmailAdditionalTo parameter.
-
Add the Template and Email Template to Global Merge
along with any additional desired behavior parameters (for example: defaultpdf, field
update, activity logging, etc).
The final solution should look similar to the following screenshot:
- Create a Conga Batch Record and use the Record Id from your Global Merge as the Master Object Source.
- Convert your Global Merge Solution to a formula field using the Formula Builder and set Qmode to Send Email.
-
Go to Salesforce Setup > Conga Global Merge to find the field you created and set Field Level Security to visible
as shown in the screenshot below.
Warning:
This step is required. Not setting Field Level Security to visible results in an error when Batch runs.
- Enable the Conga Batch Master Switch and create a Salesforce token through Conga Batch setup and then return to the Batch record to set the schedule.
