SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
You may need to add InsideSales IP addresses to the list of trusted IP addresses
within Salesforce. Some companies enable security settings within Salesforce that
require a user accessing Salesforce from an unknown IP address to first
authenticate to be able to gain access.
InsideSales connects to the Salesforce instance using the individual marked as the
Access User in InsideSales. Within Salesforce, the InsideSales IP addresses must be
added to the trusted IP ranges for the access user to perform actions.
1. Go to Setup in Salesforce
2. Click Security Controls
3. Click Network Access
PowerDialer for Salesforce Specifications
14 © 2016 InsideSales.com
4. Click the New button to create a new trusted IP range
5. Configure Trusted IP Address Range
6. Save changes
NOTE – There are two different IP address ranges that InsideSales uses. You
must add both ranges individually. Failing to add both ranges will cause the
application to fail.
CONFIGURE RANGE 1
Setting Description
Start IP Address Specifies the starting IP address for the range. This value
should be entered as: 64.90.204.227
End IP Address Specifies the ending IP address for the range. This value
should be entered as: 64.90.204.235
Description This value should be entered as “InsideSales Range 1”
for easy identification purposes.
CONFIGURE RANGE 2
Setting Description
Start IP Address Specifies the starting IP address for the range. This value
should be entered as: 67.214.247.0
End IP Address Specifies the ending IP address for the range. This value

Phone System Requirement
PHONE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The InsideSales product suite requires a DID (Direct Inward Dialing, also known as a
Direct Inbound Number). DIDs connect directly to the sales rep instead of requiring
an extension or phone menu. InsideSales.com does not provide DIDs. Direct SIP
integrations are not available.
Configuration Supported
On-premise PBX with DID ✔
On-premise PBX with no DID X
Cell Phone* ✔
Soft Phone / Virtual PBX with dedicated network connection for SIP Calls* ✔
Soft Phone / Virtual PBX without dedicated network connection for SIP Calls* X
Direct SIP Integrations X
*Some phone providers experience call quality issues that InsideSales.com cannot troubleshoot. Customers
experiencing call quality problems are encouraged to use an on-premise PBX.
NOTE – When reps place calls using InsideSales, the InsideSales system calls the
rep first (called connecting the agent leg) and then when the rep answers the
InsideSales system calls out to the prospect. This means that to a PBX system,
all call traffic is considered inbound calls. It is essential that your inbound call
concurrency level can support an open inbound call connection for all reps.
PowerDialer for Salesforce Specifications

PHONE NUMBER FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS
InsideSales’ telephony tools allow reps to place calls from virtually anywhere in the
world. You must format your numbers correctly and consistently before placing
calls, otherwise the InsideSales system will be unable to place calls. Strict adherence
to the E.164 phone number format standard must be followed.
NOTE – Salesforce does not enforce phone number format standards.
Salesforce administrators are strongly encouraged to create validation rules
that enforce E.164 standards.
E.164 STANDARD
All phone numbers saved in Salesforce for both the reps’ phone number and
prospect phone numbers must adhere to the E.164 standard. This standard allows
numbers to be formatted for all calling scenarios, including local and international
calls placed to and from any country. There are two components to E.164
formatted numbers:
Plus Symbol: The E.164 standard simply replaces the country-specific Exit
Code with the plus symbol (+). The InsideSales system will add the exit code
(for example, the US exit code is 011) if it encounters an international
entrance code.
Country Code & Local Number: Add the rest of the number, including the
Country Code.
For example, if a record or rep is located in the United Kingdom, the phone number
entered into the system would be: +44-481958104
TRUNK CODES
Trunk codes should not be saved with any phone number. If a phone number has a
trunk code in it, the phone call will not be successfully placed.
NOTE – The PowerDialer application will not dial emergency numbers. If an
agent attempts to dial an emergency number, the system returns an error
stating that the number is not valid.

Network Requirements
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
InsideSales services are delivered as a Software-as-a-service model, requiring an
active internet connection. Due to the need for quick interactions, InsideSales
utilizes web socket technology. You must allow InsideSales connections through
network firewall systems.
Item Notes
Websocket Ports
Websocket traffic requires port 80 enabled.
NOTE – We do SSL on port 80. You must enable
the SSL protocol for port 80 on any firewalls
that perform deep packet inspections (for
example, Cisco or Palo Alto firewalls).
Outbound TCP Traffic Requires ports 9900-9999 opened.
PowerDialer for Salesforce Specifications
20 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Supported Locales
The InsideSales Salesforce PowerDialer integration supports reps located within the
United States and Europe. All calls will originate from either the U.S. or EU
telephony centers depending on the sales rep location.
The InsideSales product is only available in U.S. English, and it is not localized for
any other languages or locations.

support Open CTI (see
below).
LIGHTNING UI LIMITATION
The initial release of the Lightning Experience does not support any telephony tools
from any vendor. Implementing the optional Lightning Experience will make the
InsideSales PowerDialer application unusable. Therefore, at this time we do not
recommend implementing the Lightning Experience. In the meantime, we
recommend continuing to use the current user experience.
LIGHTNING TELEPHONY SUPPORT COMING SOON
The InsideSales application uses Salesforce Open CTI telephony technology (the
telephone technology we use to connect reps to customers). Salesforce plans on
adding Open CTI support to the Lightning Experience in the Summer '16 release.
TURNING OFF LIGHTNING
If you have implemented the new Lightning Experience, you can easily disable it.
Please see this comprehensive information on the Lightning Experience, including
how to enable and disable it: Enabling Lightning Experience.

Inbound Call Paths
CALL PATH OVERVIEW
Call Path technology manages inbound calls coming
into the InsideSales system. Call Paths define how
inbound calls are routed and handled, from playing
messages to inbound callers, to routing the inbound
calls to reps waiting to take inbound calls.
System administrators can assign multiple inbound
numbers and LocalPresence buckets to a Call Path.
Anytime a prospect calls an inbound number assigned
to a Call Path, the Call Path routes the call.

LIMITATIONS
US Only
CREATING CALL PATHS
Call Paths are typically only available to managers or administrators of the
InsideSales system.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Manage Call Paths.
3. Click Edit next to the desired Call Path or click Create New Call Path.
4. Save the Call Path.
CALL PATH CANVAS
The Call Path editor uses a grid-canvas to generate the easy-to-use visual flow of
how inbound calls are routed. Inbound Routing Objects are dragged from the
available options bar and released on the Canvas.
1. Edit or Create a Call Path.
2. Drag an Inbound Routing Object to the canvas and release.
Inbound Call Configuration

3. Save the Call Path.
NOTE – InsideSales only supports 10 Inbound Routing Objects per Call Path.
Inbound Call Configuration
29 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Connecting Objects
To connect one inbound routing object to another, place your mouse over an object
on the canvas and look for the Connect box to appear. Once the Connect box
appears, click and drag from the Connect box to another object on the canvas, then
release.
To remove the connection between two objects on the Call Path canvas, click on the
blue connecting arrow and verify the action.
NOTE – InsideSales does not support creating Call Paths that are circular –
where an inbound call returns to earlier points in the Call Path. Each Call Path is
limited to a total of 4 branches.
SAVING CALL PATHS
When you are ready to save a Call Path, click the Save button and leave the
editor.
Alternatively, pressing Quick Save saves the current changes but keeps you
in the editor- allowing you to continue to make changes.
Use the Save As function to clone a Call Path.
To discard all unsaved changes, click the Cancel button.

Call Path Terminators
CALL PATH TERMINATORS OVERVIEW
In the event that an inbound call is not answered by a
rep, the call must go somewhere. The InsideSales
system is not designed to allow a call to remain in a
Call Path indefinitely. Each branch within a Call Path
must end in a terminator. A terminator is a routing
object that causes the inbound call to leave the
InsideSales system. The following routing objects are
considered terminators:
Disconnect
Forward
Path Bridge
SEE ALSO
Disconnect
Forward
Path Bridge
NOTE – If a Call Path branch does not end in a terminator, the InsideSales
system will automatically disconnect an inbound call when it reaches the end of
the branch. As a best practice, we recommend always placing a terminator at
the end of your branches.
CONFIGURE CALL PATHS
Call Paths are configured using a drag-and-drop interface, making it easy to create
and visualize how inbound calls are going to be handled. To create a Call Path, click
Create Call Path and then simply drag routing objects onto the Call Path canvas.
Connect each routing object together by clicking and dragging the arrow from one
object to another.
To assign inbound numbers to a Call Path, click on the Properties button while
editing a Call Path.

CALL PATH PROPERTIES:
Setting Description
Call Path Name Uniquely identifies the Call Path for reporting
purposes.
Inbound Number
All selected inbound numbers or
LocalPresence buckets are displayed in this
field. To add a new inbound number, search
for the number and select the number. Only
numbers that are not assigned to other Call
Paths or directly to reps are displayed in this
field.
DELETING CALL PATHS
A Call Path can be deleted from the system by navigating to the Manage Call Paths
page and clicking Delete next to the desired Call Path.
1. Navigate to the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Manage Call Paths.
3. Click Delete next to a Call Path.
4. Verify the delete action.
NOTE – When you delete a Call Path, all inbound numbers become unassigned
from Call Paths. This means that if a prospect calls one of these numbers, the
call won’t be routed to reps. We strongly recommend you immediately assign
unassigned numbers when a Call Path is deleted.

Call Logging - Inbound
INBOUND CALL LOGGING OVERVIEW
The moment an inbound call reaches a Call Path,
InsideSales starts recording information about that call.
All call data that InsideSales captures is made available
directly within Salesforce using the standard Salesforce
Task Object.
Using the call details provided by InsideSales, you can
report on how many inbound calls are your team is
taking, how many inbound calls are being missed, and
more. All reports can be run using the native Salesforce
reporting tool or brought into Salesforce Analytics
Cloud.

CONFIGURE INBOUND CALL LOGGING
When an inbound call comes into the system, InsideSales automatically starts
logging the call data. There are no configurations that you need to make to be able
to log inbound calls.
INBOUND CALL LOGGING PROCESS
When an inbound call reaches a Call Path, InsideSales begins recording call data
about the call. 15 to 30 minutes after an inbound call ends, InsideSales creates a
task within Salesforce that contains information about the call.
If an inbound call is answered by a rep, the task that is
created is assigned to that individual rep. In the event
that a call is not answered by a rep, the owner of the call

Rep Queues

task is the individual set as the default owner on the
Rep Queue within the Call Path.
NOTE – If a call is answered or missed, InsideSales creates a call task within
Salesforce. Any call that is sent to a terminator such as Call Forward, but is
actually answered by a rep, will still be marked as a missed call.
INBOUND CALL TASK DATA
InsideSales provides a number of different data points around each inbound call
that reaches the system. All fields outlined below are populated when inbound calls
reach InsideSales. InsideSales utilizes managed custom fields included with the
package along with standard Salesforce fields to record call data.

Rep Queue – Inbound Option
REP QUEUE OVERVIEW
The Rep Queue is the inbound routing option that is
used to route inbound calls or ResponsePops to reps to
be answered. A Rep Queue is analogous to the
frequently used term Automated Call Distributor (ACD),
in that it uses defined logic to find available reps and
route calls to them in a specific order.
Rep Queues are a routing option contained within a
Call Path. All calls that enter a rep queue are logged
into Salesforce as call tasks for reporting purposes.

Setting Description
Pop-Screen Type
Determines which objects to search for a
record match when an inbound call is received.
For example, if Lead is selected, InsideSales
will search the Lead object for inbound call
recorded matches based on the primary
phone field. Leads, Accounts, Contacts are
available. The more objects added, the slower
the call will route as InsideSales must first look
up the record prior to routing.
Answer Time (sec)
Sets the maximum amount of time a rep will
have to answer an inbound call that has been
routed to them before being routed to a
different rep in the rep queue. Set in seconds.
Attendees

Setting Longest Available Group Ring Round Robin Most Ready
Fairness ✔ X ✔ X
Speed ✔ ✔ X ✔
Availability on
Missed Calls Unavailable Available Unavailable Unavailable
Inbound Call Configuration
45 © 2016 InsideSales.com
LONGEST AVAILABLE
Longest Available routing looks at the length of time reps have been marked as
Available in the inbound system. The inbound call or ResponsePop then routes to
the rep with the highest available time.
If an inbound call is routed to a rep, and they take no action to accept or ignore the
inbound call, the call is then routed to the rep with the next highest available time.
The rep who did not take an action is then set to unavailable for inbound
automatically. If a call is routed to a rep, and they manually click the Ignore button,
the inbound call is routed to the next rep but the rep keeps their inbound status.
Longest Available rewards reps who diligently maintain their available status and
remain at their desks ready to take inbound calls. Longest Available is the most
commonly used, and recommended routing option used by InsideSales clients.
GROUP RING
When an inbound call reaches a Rep Queue set to Group Ring, the call is routed to
all reps currently marked as available who are invited to the rep queue. When the
call is routed, each rep will see an option to Accept or Ignore the call. The first rep
to click Accept is given the call, and all other reps are given a notification that
someone else answered.
When a call is routed to a rep part of a Group Ring Rep Queue, and the rep missed
the call, they are not set to unavailable. If a rep takes an inbound call, then they will
be set to Unavailable.
Group Ring is focused on speed, and disregards all fairness with routing calls. Each
rep has an equal chance at taking the inbound call, regardless of how many other
inbound calls they have taken or the last time that they took a call.
NOTE – Group Ring only answers reps who are currently available. If an
inbound call is ringing all reps and a new rep becomes available, the call will not
be presented to them.
Inbound Call Configuration
46 © 2016 InsideSales.com
MOST READY
Most Ready routing is useful if outbound calls are substantially less important than
inbound calls and routing fairness is not a major concern. When an inbound call
reaches the rep queue, calls are routed in the following order:
1. The rep who has been available the longest AND has the agent leg
connected gets priority so long as they are not on an active call.
2. Reps who are not connected to any phone calls
3. Reps who are connected on active phone calls.
NOTE – If a rep misses an inbound call that was routed to them via Most Ready,
they will be set to unavailable.
ROUND ROBIN
We recommend Round Robin when fairness is the primary concern, and speed to
answer is not as important. When a call reaches a rep queue set to Round Robin,
the system routes the inbound call to the rep marked as available who has not
taken an inbound call from the Rep Queue for the longest amount of time.
Admins can clear out the length of time a rep has not taken an inbound call, for
example: a rep who goes on vacation for two weeks is not put at the top of the
queue when they return from vacation. The Last Call Time is cleared out based on
the Round Robin Reset Interval. On this interval, the Last Call Time is cleared out for
all reps to establish a fair reset. SEE ALSO Routing Types Video

Play Message - Inbound Option
PLAY MESSAGE OVERVIEW
The Play Message action within a Call Path is
specifically used when a message needs to be played in
its entirety to the caller prior to the call routing to any
reps, without giving the caller any other interactivity
options.
Many companies choose to use the Play Message
option in a Call Path to play a message that informs
inbound callers that their call may be recorded or
monitored, or give other specific information a caller
needs to hear prior to proceeding in the Call Path.

2, the call is sent to the Support Call Path. Rather than
re-create the Support Call Path, simply use the Path
Bridge to send the caller to the Support Call Path.
Alternatively, if a call reaches the end of the Sales Call
Path, you can put a Path Bridge at the end that
bridges the call to support. That way when an inbound
call is not answered by Sales, it can be answered by
someone in Support.

Setting Description
No Answer Failover
If a rep does not answer within the specified
Agent Answer Timeout, the inbound call will be
routed according to the No Answer Failover.
Rep’s Station Phone:
Routes the inbound call to the rep’s station
phone. When a call is sent to the station
phone, the call leaves the InsideSales system.
Continue in Call Path:
Causes the inbound call to continue in the Call
Path, sending the call to the next object in the
current Call Path.
Call Path:
Sends the inbound call to a different Call Path,
as selected by the administrator.
Call Forward: Sends the inbound call to a 10-
digit US phone number outside of the
InsideSales system, such as a main company
phone number.
Record Owner
Sets which Owner field InsideSales searches to
determine what rep to route the inbound call
to. Available options are Record Owner, Last
Modified By, and Created By.
NOTE - If there are multiple records in Salesforce with the same phone number,
and the call reaches the Route to Record Owner, the system will use the
duplicate record that was created most recently.

Disconnect – Inbound Option
DISCONNECT OVERVIEW
The disconnect Call Path object disconnects the
inbound call. When an inbound call is disconnected
through the Disconnect object, any call recordings will
also immediately end.
If a branch within a Call Path does not have a
terminator connected to it, the branch will default to
the disconnect object – meaning that any incomplete
branch will disconnect an inbound caller when the
caller reaches the end of a branch

CONFIGURE DISCONNECT
To end an inbound call, add the Disconnect object to the Call Path canvas. When an
inbound call reaches this object, the call will immediately end. Because the
Disconnect object ends the current call, no additional routing options can be
connected to the disconnect object. If a Call Path is configured without an ending
object, calls will automatically disconnect.

Schedule - Inbound Option
SCHEDULE OVERVIEW
The schedule object is used to route inbound calls
differently based on time of day. For example,
inbound calls can be routed differently during
business hours than during hours where the business
is closed.
Alternatively, some clients choose to route inbound
calls differently based on peak inbound call times. All
times are based on company time set within
Salesforce.

Area Code Groups
AREA CODE GROUP OVERVIEW
Area code groups are manually created groups of US
phone number area codes. These area code groups can
be assigned to reps, and are then applied to inbound
calls. When enabled on a rep queue, reps can only take
inbound calls from callers who have an area code
assigned to a group the rep is a part of.
Area code groups are frequently used when a company
has a single nation-wide inbound number, but reps are
only licensed to take inbound calls from callers located
from specific states.

Seek Lists
SEEK LIST OVERVIEW
Seek Lists are dynamic dialing lists that present reps
records for dialing according to business rules set by
administrators and managers. Seek Lists refresh each
hour, pulling in the appropriate records and removing
records that are no longer qualified to be in the list.
Administrators and managers can create Seek Lists and
invite reps to the lists. Reps are then able to login to the
lists and have the records presented to them to be
dialed.

CREATING SEEK LISTS
Administrators or Managers are typically the users who create Seek Lists for their
reps. Creating a Seek List is broken into two parts – The main Seek List settings and
the individual dialing rules. Each Seek List contains multiple dialing rules. Each
dialing rule contains the filters and criteria for which records are pulled into a
dialing rule. Dialing rules are then prioritized within the Seek List so that reps are
always working on eligible records from the most important dialing rules first.
NOTE – There are several different versions of the Seek List setup. Documented
here is the supported Seek List setup process.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Seek Lists.
3. Click New Seek List or edit an existing Seek List.
4. Configure Seek List main settings.
5. Click Save on Seek List.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists

CONFIGURING MAIN SEEK LIST SETTINGS
There are two parts to each Seek List – the basic Seek List settings and the dialing
rules.
Setting Description
Name
The name of the Seek List. This should be a
descriptive name as it will be seen by reps
when they are choosing which dialer list to use
and is also used in reports.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists
123 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Caller ID
Sets the default Caller-ID that will be used for
all outbound calls that are placed through this
Seek List.
NOTE – This setting only applies to reps
using the PowerDialer. The Caller-ID for
Click-to-Call is set on the edit user page.
There are four different options:
Company Phone:
Sets the Caller-ID to the company-wide phone
number, found in the Company Settings page
within Salesforce. Allows for international and
Domestic US phone numbers. If this option is
selected, but there is no company phone, the
system will default to using the rep’s station
phone.
Custom Number:
Sets the Caller-ID to a specific number entered
by the administrator. When selected, a
secondary field appears where a number can
be added. Allows for international and
Domestic US phone numbers.
LocalPresence:
Uses LocalPresence for all outbound calls. If no
LocalPresence number is available when an
outbound call is placed, the rep’s station
phone will be displayed. LocalPresence is only
available within the US. If there are multiple
LocalPresence buckets, a drop-down will
appear prompting you to select the bucket that
PowerDialer Dialing Lists

will be used. Only available on Elevate and
above.
Station Phone:
Sets the Caller-ID to the rep’s station phone.
Limit Calling Times
Limits calls to only take place to prospects in
specific allowable calling times at the
prospects time. The prospects time is based on
the area code of the phone number recorded
in Salesforce.
Business Hours:
Ensures that calls are not placed to prospect
where the dialed phone number is outside of
the hours of 8AM to 6PM.
Consumer Hours:
Ensures that calls are not placed to prospect
where the dialed phone number is outside of
the hours of 8AM to 8PM.
None:
Places no restriction around the time in which
a prospect can be called.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists
125 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Time Between Calls
Time Between Calls blocks the same record
from coming back into the dialer list
repeatedly in a short period of time. For
example, if a record does not change
sufficiently from one hour to the next, the
dialing rule may cause the record to be pulled
in again because it still meets the dialing rule
criteria.
This setting ensures that even if a record
technically meets the filter criteria for a dialing
rule that the record is not pulled back into the
list until the time between calls expires.
Use Salesforce Email Templates
Assigns specific Salesforce email template
folders to the specific Seek List. When a rep
presses the Send Email button from within the
PowerDialer, they will only be able to send
emails from the templates selected in this
field.
NOTE – This setting only applies to reps
using the PowerDialer.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists
126 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Grant List Access
Sets the reps who that will have access to use
the Seek List.
Visible to only me:
Sets the list to only be seen and accessible to
the current rep.
Visible to all users:
Allows a list to be accessible to all reps who
have access to the InsideSales product suite.
Visible to certain groups of users:
Allows a list to be accessible to specific reps,
user roles, or subordinates.
NOTE – Be very selective of who is invited
to a Seek List. As more reps are selected,
the slower the Seek Lists will refresh.
Show agents query names
Displays the name of the dialing rule that a
record qualified for to the rep as they load
records. This setting only applies to the
PowerDialer, it does not apply to Click-to-Call.
CREATING DIALING RULES
The Dialing Rules are the filters and criteria that add or remove records from the
list. Each Dialing Rule has a maximum of 7,000 records that can be pulled in at any
given hour. Each dialing rule runs during the time specified on the Seek List page:
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Seek Lists.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists
127 © 2016 InsideSales.com
3. Click New Seek List or Edit an existing Seek List.
4. Click Add New Rule.
5. Configure Dialing Rule.
6. Click Save on Dialing Rule.
NOTE – If a dialing rule is created that has greater than 7,000 eligible records,
all records beyond 7,000 will be excluded. To determine which 7,000 records
will be pulled in, adjust the sort criteria on the dialing rule.
CONFIGURING DIALING RULES
Each dialing rule is completely configurable by managers. Typically, end-user sales
reps are not the individuals creating and editing dialing rules.
Setting Description
Query Name
The name of the dialing rule. This name should
be descriptive as it may be displayed to reps as
they place calls and is used for reporting on
dialing rule effectiveness.

user requests the next record, a lead record
will be loaded.
Contact:
Will pull contacts into the dialing rule. When a
user requests the next record, a contact record
will be loaded.
Account:
Will pull accounts into the dialing rule. When a
user requests the next record, an account
record will be loaded.
Opportunity:
Will present a rep with a contact or an account
related to the opportunity that meets the
dialing rule criteria. When the opportunity
object is selected, a secondary drop-down
appears where contact or account can be
selected.

Setting Description
Limit Calls To
Determines when a rep loads the next record
in the list if the rep is allowed or not allowed to
see the next record. If a rep is unable to see a
record, the record is skipped for that rep and
the next record is loaded.
No Limit:
Applies no limit to the Seek List – meaning that
as reps move through the list they can see
records that they are not the owner of. For
example, Rep A can load records owned by
Rep B.
Record Owner:
Limits records to only those who are marked
as the actual owner of a record. This restricts
the ability for one rep to see the records
owned by another rep.
Account Team:
Limits records to only those who own accounts
or are listed as a member of the account team.
This option only appears if the selected object
on the dialer list is Accounts.

Sets the minimum and maximum for the
amount of times that an individual has been
called to be eligible for the specific dialing rule.

NOTE – Before you are able to create dialing rules on a new Seek List you must
first save the Seek List.
SEEK LIST REFRESH
Each hour each dialing rule in a Seek List refreshes, pulling in all records that meet
the criteria and removing all records that no longer meet the dialing rule criteria.
REMOVAL OF RECORDS
Although a record may match the filter criteria, there may be other reasons why the
record does not appear in the Seek List.
Reason Details
Pending Callback
If there is a pending callback set on a record
the record will be ineligible to be pulled into a
Seek List until the callback has been resolved.
To determine if a record has a callback, view
the open tasks related to the record and look
for the term Callback in the subject field.
Recently Called
If a record was called too recently as per the
Time Between Calls field, the record will be
ineligible for the Seek List.
Do-Not-Call Leads and Contacts flagged as do-not-call are
automatically excluded from all Seek Lists.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists
136 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Reason Details
Blank Phone Number
Only records with phone numbers in the
primary phone number field are included in
Seek Lists. Records without phone numbers
cannot be pulled into a Seek List to be dialed.
Invalid Phone Number
If an invalid number is saved on the record,
InsideSales will not be able to reliably present
it to reps.
NOTE – If you are filtering by time zone,
invalid numbers frequently don’t have a
valid time zone. If there is no valid time
zone, then the Seek List will not pull in the
record.
Already Dialed
A single record can be pulled into multiple
Seek Lists during the same hour timeframe,
however it can only be dialed from one Seek
List within a single hour. As such, if a record
was dialed in one Seek List, it will be removed
from the other Seek List to ensure it isn’t called
twice.
Invalid Time
Seek Lists rely on time to determine when a
record should and should not be pulled in. A
record may meet all of the filter criteria, but be
disqualified because it is not the appropriate
time to call a record.
PowerDialer Dialing Lists

from a pre-defined list that does not change. Once a
record has been presented to a rep, the record is
removed from the list and will not be presented again.
Domino Lists do not refresh – once a record is added it
stays in the list regardless of if the record changes and
is technically no longer eligible for the list.
Domino Lists are primarily used when there is a specific
number of records that need to be immediately dialed.

CREATING DOMINO LIST
Administrators or Managers are typically the users who create Domino Lists for
their reps. Each Domino List contains the filters and criteria for which records are
pulled into the list.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Seek Lists.
3. Click New Seek List or Edit an existing Seek List.
4. Click Add New Rule.
5. Configure Dialing Rule.
6. Click Save on Dialing Rule.
CONFIGURING DOMINO LISTS
Each dialing rule is completely configurable by managers. Typically, end-user sales
reps are not the individuals creating and editing dialing rules.

Billing
BILLING OVERVIEW
The InsideSales billing system enables billing
administrators to make changes to the billing account,
including increasing licenses, buying new products,
purchasing additional dialer minutes, download
transactions and more.
The billing system also allows administrators and
managers to view future statements, downloading
previously paid invoices, and view storage limitations.

ACCESSING BILLING
Access to the billing is typically restricted to only senior administrators and
managers. Once on the billing summary page, there are a number of different
actions that can be performed.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Billing Summary.
PURCHASING DIALER MINUTES
Pre-purchased dialer minutes are used each time a sales rep receives or places a
call. When a dialer minute balance reaches zero, reps will be unable to place
outbound calls or receive inbound calls. Dialer minutes can be quickly purchased to
ensure that a positive balance is kept.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Billing Summary.
Account Management
148 © 2016 InsideSales.com
3. Click Purchase Minutes.
4. Enter Purchase Amount.
5. Verify with first name & last Name.
6. Read master terms and conditions.
7. Click I Accept.
On the purchase screen, enter the U.S dollar amount of minutes that you intend to
purchase. As a minimum, all dialer minute purchases must be equal to or greater
than $100 USD.
AUTOMATIC DIALER MINUTE RECHARGE
Many organizations find manually purchasing dialer minutes to be inconvenient.
Automatic purchase of dialer minutes can be enabled, eliminating the need to
manually purchase dialer minutes.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Billing Summary.
3. Click Purchase Minutes.
4. Check the automatic recharge checkbox.
5. Select a funding source to use for all automatic recharges for dialer minutes.
6. Verify with first name and last name.
7. Read master terms and conditions.
8. Click I Accept.
The minimum reserve amount and recharge amount are mathematically calculated
based on the dialer minutes used over the last two weeks of using InsideSales.
When the minimum reserve amount is reached, the InsideSales will immediately bill
Account Management
149 © 2016 InsideSales.com
the selected funding source the amount of money that will replenish the minute
balance for two weeks.
NOTE – It is not recommended that automatic recharge is enabled if you have
not used InsideSales for at least one month so that InsideSales can better
calculate the average two-week usage of minutes.
If automatic recharge is enabled without a month worth of analysis, multiple
charges will be made in a short amount of time as InsideSales determines the
average use of your reps.
NOTE – Because ACH (bank transfers) take 3-5 business, we do not recommend
using them for automatic recharge. You will not be credited the additional
minutes until your transfer is completely processed.
CONFIGURING BILLING PREFERENCES
Billing settings can be configured by adding funding sources, setting the individual
who can perform billing transactions, and more.
FUNDING SOURCES
InsideSales allows multiple funding sources to be added to the system to pay
invoices and transactions. InsideSales accepts two methods of payments – credit
card and ACH. Only Billing Administrators can add or remove funding sources.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Billing Summary.
3. Click Billing Preferences.
4. Click Add Funding Source.
Account Management
150 © 2016 InsideSales.com

6. Fill out require fields for the payment source.
7. Click Agree and Submit.
The funding source flagged as the primary funding source is used each time a
purchase of new licenses is made or when billing is run depending on your
contract. If a primary funding source is declined, backup payment sources will be
used in the order they are in on the funding source page. The order of backup
payment sources can be altered by using the priority arrows.
CONFIGURING BILLING ADMINISTRATOR
The user marked as the Billing Administrator is the only individual who is
authorized to make changes to billing items such as funding sources, and
purchasing additional licenses. The Billing Administrator can be configured through
the Billing Summary.
1. Click the InsideSales tab.
2. Click Billing Summary.
3. Click Billing Preferences.
4. Under Billing Administrator, click Edit.
5. Enter the name of the Billing Administrator.
6. Click Save.
There can only be one billing administrator. The Email CC field allows multiple email
addresses to be added – all emails about account status will be sent to all email
addresses entered in the Email CC field.
NOTE – Only users who have an active InsideSales license can be the billing
administrator. If while editing a billing administrator a certain user does not
appear, check to ensure they have an InsideSales license.

Immediate Response Setup
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE OVERVIEW
InsideSales provides the ability for administrators to
create rules that cause high priority records to be sent to
reps immediately to be dialed – frequently called
immediate response.
Immediate response is commonly used with web leads.
When a new web prospect is created in Salesforce,
utilizing immediate response reps can reach out to that
prospect within seconds of the record being created.

Manage Users
TYPES OF IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
There are two different kinds of immediate response.
NOTE – InsideSales recommends careful consideration while choosing which
type of immediate response is appropriate for your business.
CALL NOWS
A Call Now sends a prospect record to the top of the dialer list, so that the next time
a rep requests the next record in the list the record that is presented to the rep is
the call now prospect. Call Nows are recommended if reps are in an environment
where they are expected to do a high volume of outbound calls and managers want
to encourage them to continue moving through a list.
RESPONSEPOP
A ResponsePop immediate response causes an inbound call to be placed to a Rep
Queue. The inbound call is then routed to the next available rep based on the rep
queue routing configurations. When a rep accepts the call, the InsideSales system
Account Management
154 © 2016 InsideSales.com
then immediately dials out to the prospect connecting the rep and prospect
together. ResponsePop is recommended when reps are not placing a high volume
of outbound calls, since they are not frequently moving to the next record in the
list.
NOTE – Because ResponsePop mimics an inbound call, when a ResponsePop is
routed to a rep the rep will be marked as Not Ready for Inbound. Once the call
is completed, the rep will need to manually mark themselves as ready for
inbound again to be eligible for additional ResponsePops or inbound calls.
CONFIGURING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Configuring immediate response requires a number of manual steps and creating
custom code that exists within Salesforce.
NOTE – Configuring immediate response requires high proficiency with
Salesforce coding language. This should only be done by Salesforce
administrators or trained Salesforce managers. The sections below are
provided only as an example, provided for your information.
1. CREATE APEX CLASS
The first thing that is required is creating a new Salesforce Apex class. The code
required for this class is provided below. No adjustments to the class code needs to
be made, simply add it to the apex class.
1. Go to User Name and click Setup.
2. Click Develop in the sidebar.
3. Click Manage Your Apex Classes.
4. Click New.
5. Copy and paste apex class code.
6. Click Save.
Account Management
155 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Apex Class Code
[START CODE]
global class HTTPRequestSender{
@future (callout=true)
Public static void sendHTTPRequest(String url, String body){
Http http = new Http();
HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(url);
req.setBody(body);
req.setMethod('POST');
try {
res = http.send(req);
} catch(System.CalloutException e) {
System.debug('CalloutException: '+ e);
System.debug(res.toString());
}
}
}
[END CODE]
2. CREATE APEX TRIGGER
The Apex Trigger itself determines the method for immediate response –
ResponsePop or Call Nows. The Trigger also determines when to cause immediate
Account Management
156 © 2016 InsideSales.com
response to happen. For example, when a new lead enters Salesforce with the Lead
Source of Web, the Apex Trigger can run and cause immediate response to occur.
1. Go to User Name and click Setup.
2. Click Customize in the sidebar.
3. Click Leads (Leads, Accounts, and Contacts are supported).
4. Click Triggers.
5. Click New.
6. Enter Apex code.
7. Click Save.
Sample Apex Trigger code is provided below. The red and blue text will need to be
specifically altered.
Apex Trigger Code Sample
[START CODE]
trigger ImmediateResponse on Lead (after insert) {
ID[] ids = new List<ID>();
String url = 'https://subdomain.insidesales.com/do=noauth/immediate_response';
String body;
for (Lead l : Trigger.new) {
if (l.LeadSource == 'Web') {
ids.add(l.Id);
}
}
if (!ids.isEmpty()) {
Account Management
157 © 2016 InsideSales.com
body =
'method=responsepop&inbound_initiative_id=1&ids='+EncodingUtil.urlEncode(JSON.serialize(ids),
'ISO-8859-1');
HTTPRequestSender.sendHTTPRequest(url, body);
}
}
[END CODE]
RED TEXT:
To work properly, the red code shown in the example also needs to be updated. It
is contained in this line:
body = 'method=responsepop&inbound_initiative_id=1
This section of code determines what kind of immediate response is given. Several
options exist for you to put into the code. Potential Options:
Option Code
ResponsePop responsepop&inbound_initiative_id=1
Call Now (Specific List) call_now&dialer_initiative_id=1
Call Now (No List) call_now
BLUE TEXT:
The trigger code needs to have the unique InsideSales subdomain entered into it so
InsideSales knows which company is requesting immediate response. The trigger
code requires the subdomain to be entered. It is contained in this code line:
String url =
'https://subdomain.insidesales.com/do=noauth/immediate_response';
Account Management
158 © 2016 InsideSales.com
3. ALLOW REMOTE SITE
This is not part of the Apex Trigger code, but in order to work, the trigger itself
references an InsideSales.com domain site. This is the same domain used to alter
the blue section of the code. This site needs to be added to Salesforce as an
allowed remote site for immediate response to function.
1. Go to User Name and click Setup.
2. Click Security Controls.
3. Click Remote Site Settings.
4. Click New Remote Site.
5. Enter blue section into the URL field.
6. Enter a remote site name – this can contain any value.
7. Click Save.
NOTE – With immediate response, responding quickly is essential. It is possible
to do immediate response using Workflow rules instead of an Apex Trigger.
InsideSales does not recommend using Workflow rules as they frequently run
slow.

and designating Team Managers.
STANDINGS BAR
The standings bar is a convenient way for reps to see their performance against Key
Performance Indicators. The Standings bar is displayed on the sidebar within
Salesforce, typically below the InsideSales Click-to-Call Panel. SEE ALSO Standings
Bar.
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
170 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Each widget shows the KPI being tracked, how many times the rep has performed
the KPI (labeled You), how many times the rep just ahead of them on the team has
performed the KPI (labeled Next), and the rep’s rank on the team for meeting that
KPI. If a rep is in first place, it will show the rep just behind them instead.
To add a new widget, click on a blank option. The order of widgets can be adjusted
by dragging widgets to a new position. To Edit an existing widget, hover over the
widget itself and then click on the wrench icon in the upper right hand corner once
it appears.
STANDINGS BAR WIDGET OPTIONS:
Setting Description
KPI
Shows reps their current ranking for the
identified KPI, within a specific time frame. The
Rank and Next numbers update as reps work.
Once you select KPI, two additional options
will become available for you to select the KPI
you want measured and the Date Range you
want measured.
Challenge
When you select this option, the system will
automatically display the current standings for
ALL Challenges in which the rep is actively
engaged. Although the standings only show
one challenge at a time, reps can cycle through
all of the active challenges by clicking on the
widget in their display panel.
TIP: If you regularly use Challenges, we
recommend using a widget to display those
Challenges as they do not show up in the
PowerStandings side panel unless you
navigate to the Challenges section.
Adaptive These widgets will soon be deprecated.

Target KPIs
These are aspects of Adaptive widgets which
are being phased out so you can disregard this
setting. As the field is required, it is
recommend to leave the field in its default
selection of Dials.
Points View
Reps will view the results of the Points View
Setting in their Sidebars / Standings Bars. For
example, if a rep's team has a Points View
Setting defined as This Month, that rep may
only see 1 Point even though the rep has
earned more points in previous months. In
essence, the Points View Setting determines
the cadence when points will "recycle" or
"reset" themselves. This is useful so reps with
shorter tenures can still compete on points in
the Points View Settings' smaller time ranges.
Also, the points total in the sidebar based on
the Points View Setting will determine how
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
172 © 2016 InsideSales.com
many points a rep has available to use on
Throwdowns.
TEAM MEMBERS
The Team Members section defines which reps are members of the specific team.
Team membership is essential, as it controls when a rep is eligible for a Challenge,
Achievement, or appears on a Leaderboard.
Reps can be added to teams by Salesforce Role or by Salesforce Manager. To
configure team membership by Salesforce Manager contact InsideSales support.
NOTE: Roles are recommended when creating teams. If you prefer to group
PowerStandings teams by Salesforce.com’s standard Manager field, contact
InsideSales.com support to enable the option. Reps can only be part of one
team at a time.
TEAM MANAGERS
Team managers are designated Salesforce users who can manage team Challenges,
widgets, and notification settings without having to be a Salesforce administrator.
Once a team manager is selected, they will have access to the Manage Teams link
on the InsideSales tab.
Managers selected in this area will only see Challenges which are associated with
his or her respective team(s). So, if Jim is selected as a Team Manager for a team,
Jim will not see Challenges from Susie's team when he clicks on Challenges.
NOTIFICATION SETTINGS
By default, PowerStandings will display periodic notices across reps’screens
throughout the day based on activity. For example, if a rep takes the lead in a
Challenge or daily KPI metric, the notification system would display a congratulatory
message.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
OVERVIEW
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the metrics that
are tracked around rep behavior and utilized by the
PowerStandings system. For example, a KPI may be
Dials, Appointments Set, etc.
KPIs are used to track Challenges, Achievements,
Leaderboards, and Throwdowns. Before using
PowerStandings it is essential that the KPIs are
completely configured. There are two kinds of KPIs that
InsideSales provides – automatically configured KPIs
and manually configured KPIs.

CONFIGURING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Each KPI can be adjusted to meet business needs. Custom KPIs are not available at
this time.
SETTINGS
Setting Description
KPI Name
This field indicates the name of the KPI. You
can rename this KPI label to align with your
business terminology.
Points
Points are a way of creating a weighted value
for different KPIs in calculating
effectiveness. For example, in many
organizations setting an appointment with a
prospect would be seen as more valuable than
simply making a lot of phone calls. In this case
you might want to weight the value of a set
appointment as 25 times more important than
a single phone call. Point values for each KPI
are set individually in the KPI settings.
For Talk Time and Revenue KPIs, you may
assign Points as a ratio of either Talk Time or
Revenue. Those KPIs will have an additional
field next to Points labeled Minutes or Dollars.
The Dollars field is limited to U.S. dollars only.
BEST PRACTICE: make Dials worth 1 point.
With Dials as a 1 point baseline, consider other
metrics relative to Dials. For example, if it takes
approximately 25 Dials to set an Appointment,
the Appointments Set KPI might be worth 25
points.
Description A brief description of what the KPI measures.
This field cannot be edited.
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
181 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Post URL
This provides the post URL you will need to
copy and use for Manual KPIs to properly set
up the workflow rules. This process will be
outlined below.
NOTE - KPI's can be deactivated. If you choose not to use a KPI, deactivate the
KPI by unchecking the Active box and by zeroing out the points. This will
remove the options from setup menus for Leaderboards,
Dashboards, Challenges, Throwdowns etc.
CREATING CUSTOM KPI WORKFLOWS
Manual KPIs such as Opportunities Won or Appointments Set must have a
Workflow Rule setup to indicate to the system when they have been achieved. As
such, custom Workflows within Salesforce must be created that inform InsideSales
when one of these KPIs are achieved.
1. Click on Setup within Salesforce
2. Use Salesforce Settings Search to search for Workflow Rules
3. Click Workflow Rules
4. Click New Rule
5. Configure Workflow Rule
6. Save Workflow Rule
NOTE: Only KPIs flagged as Manual KPIs require that workflows be
configured. Automatic KPIs are handled by InsideSales and do not require
Workflows to be created.
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
182 © 2016 InsideSales.com
CONFIGURING WORKFLOW RULES
The workflow rule defines when to trigger the automated workflow.
Step Setting Description
1 Object Specifies which object the workflow rule applies
to.
2 Rule Name
Enter a name in the Rule Name Field. It is
recommended that this name is the same name
as the KPI you are configuring.
Since Salesforce sorts Workflow Rules
alphabetically, name the KPIs with a naming
convention such as “KPI_Appointments” or
“ISDC_Appt_Set” so that all KPI workflows are
grouped together.
3 Evaluation Criteria
Select “Created, and any time it’s edited to
subsequently meet criteria”. Salesforce provides
additional information about this under the “How
Do I Choose?” link.
4 Rule Criteria
Select “Criteria Are Met”. Enter the Rule Criteria –
rules should match the desired behavior for
triggering the KPI. At this point you may want to
refer back to the KPI page within InsideSales for
KPI descriptions.
CONFIGURING OUTBOUND MESSAGE
Once the workflow is added, you will need to create an outbound message. This is
the action that informs InsideSales that a manual KPI has been achieved. Copy the
POST URL from the InsideSales Key Performance Indicator Page. Click New
Workflow action, select Outbound Message, and insert the POST URL into the
EndPoint URL. Select an employee ID field to send over.

shows up to the top 10 reps in a given KPI
metric. You can select up to 10 Leaderlists to
display different KPI metrics on a rotating
basis.
Events Feed Located on the right side of the Leaderboard, it
lists the 3 most recent PowerStandings events
LEADERBOARD SETTINGS:
Setting Description
Leaderboard Name
Typically a team name. Keep the name shorter
than the text box so the name won't truncate
on the Leaderboard.
Transition Time
Determines how long the current Leaderlist
will remain displayed before transitioning to
the next. Recommended setting is 30 seconds.
Custom Sounds
You can set this to Enabled or Disabled. If
enabled, reps can also select, within their
personal profiles, a custom sound or song to
play during their Leaderboard events. For the
custom sound to play, the Event must have the
Fullscreen option selected (see Events below).
Keep Alive
Best setting is enabled. This setting allows the
Leaderboard to keep its session alive with the
ISDC backend services. Managers may choose
to disable this feature if they do not want
sessions to stay alive. When Keep Alive is
disabled, your Leaderboard will time out based
on your Salesforce.com timeout settings.
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
192 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Keep Alive Interval Best setting is either 5 or 10 minutes
depending on your timeout settings.
LEADERLIST SETTINGS:
Setting Description
Active Make sure this box is checked for the
Leaderlist to appear on your Leaderboard.
Title
This determines the title that will appear on
the top of the Leaderboard. We recommend
including the KPI and time range in the title, i.e.
“Daily Dials”. Titles are limited to 45
characters.
Content
From this dropdown you select the active KPI
you wish the Leaderlist to reflect. If a KPI is not
active, it will not show in this dropdown. Do
not select a non-KPI option as they will not
display and will shortly be removed from this
list.
Date Range
Select the range of time you wish reflected on
the Leaderlist. We recommend monthly or
less. For KPIs that occur more frequently, such
as Dials, consider Daily or Weekly.
Color
This determines the color scheme and
background color of your Leaderlist. If you are
using multiple Leaderlists, consider using
different background colors to help distinguish
each list.
Teams This determines the agents who are eligible to
be displayed on your Leaderlist. You can select
more than one team, though the Leaderlist
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
193 © 2016 InsideSales.com
does not display individual agents’ team
names.
The last section of the Leaderboard Settings page is Events. Clicking on Edit will
open the list of Events you can select from. Next to each Event are two checkboxes.
EVENT SETTINGS:
Setting Description
Event Feed
Checking this box determines whether the
Leaderboard will display that particular event
on the Events section. This box must be
checked to enable the Fullscreen option to be
selected.
Fullscreen
This allows the event to trigger a fullscreen
event. To enable Fullscreen events you must
also check Event Feed. Custom Sounds will
only play for Events that are enabled for
Fullscreen.
BEST PRACTICES:
o Do not configure more than 3-5 fullscreen events or the team will get
annoyed with too many events. Keep in mind, the more teams / users
assigned to a Leaderboard / Leaderlists, the more the events will be
triggered.
o Encourage reps to upload their theme songs via their Personal Profiles
to get the most out of the Leaderboards events.
Leaderboards are designed to run in a browser window, full screen. To access a

agent. A list will display of the KPIs the agent
met and the amount of points rewarded for
the KPI. From the dropdown options, agents
can look at an individual KPI by selecting it.
They can also change the time range
dropdown to pinpoint a certain time period
and the points earned during that period.
PROFILE PICTURE & CUSTOM SOUND
Agents can customize the photo and sound on their profile. This is where they
determine what photo will be displayed on Leaderboards and to other agents. This
is where they also upload their custom sound or song that will play for their Events
on the Leaderboard. Choose A Sound
1. Click on the profile icon in the PowerStandings sidebar.
2. Click the Sound option to upload a file.
UPLOAD A PHOTO
1. Click on the profile icon in the PowerStandings sidebar.
2. Click the Pic option to upload a file.
PowerStandings Configuration Guide
204 © 2016 InsideSales.com
Agents are given the option of using an existing Salesforce Chatter picture, but we
recommend against this due to poor resolution. This photo will potentially be
displayed on larger screens, including TVs, and in order to achieve the best
resolution of your profile picture, it is recommended you have a 1:1 ratio (1000 x
1000 pixels) and a size of at least 1MB.
Also, crop your photo ahead of time as the display shape is always square and
uncropped images will be distorted to fit the default shape.

NeuralView seek list (NeuralSort)
NEURALVIEW SEEK LIST OVERVIEW
NeuralView provides scores relating to contactability
and close, but the seek list is where the scores become
prescriptive action. Properly configuring a seek list with
NeuralView in mind is what will determine the success
of reps as well as ease the workload on sales
management.
NeuralView seek lists are much more inclusive of
records than the typical Seek List. Therefore, a slightly
different approach is necessary when setting them up.
All scored records will be included in the list, with
known criteria used to opt certain records out.
NeuralSort will work within the dialing rules set up by
the user in order to sort records in order of likelihood
to contact.

Neuralview iframe
NEURALVIEW IFRAME
The purpose of the NeuralView is to inform the rep of
the scores of a record in an easily readable way, as well
as the score history of that particular record. In
addition, when floating over the scores, the top 5
reasons for the score will be displayed.
This asset is designed for use with lower volume reps
such as ISRs or low volume Generalists. SDRs or those
working in high volume calling situations often get
confused when using this asset, and should have all
scores hidden from view. This will allow them to get
prioritization from the machine learning.

Vision Overview
The Vision email engagement tracking application has three basic components. SEE
ALSO Vision Configurations
Vision Servers: The Vision servers help track all interactions, send
notifications, host the Vision WebApp, and (if users’ email is configured for
server-side routing) the Vision email servers route and apply tracking to all
Vision emails.
Vision WebApp: Used for managing and configuring Vision Settings.
Vision Plugins: Give users easy access to Vision templates and attachments
and (in the absence of server-side routing) apply tracking to all Vision emails.
