Box and Salesforce, read together

Salesforce holds the pipeline: leads, accounts, opportunities and the activity logged against each. Box holds the files: folders per client or deal, versioned, with external sharing. The deal record in Salesforce says "proposal sent"; the proposal itself, and its three revisions, live in a Box folder named by whoever made it.

Liaison reads Salesforce and Box together, ties each deal to its documents, and answers questions from the documents themselves: what was proposed, what changed between versions, what the contract actually says.

Where Box and Salesforce disagree

  • Deals in Salesforce at proposal or contract stage with no matching document in Box.
  • Documents in Box for accounts that have no deal, or a deal that was closed months ago.
  • Three versions of the same proposal with no record in Salesforce of which one the customer saw.
  • Contract terms, renewal dates and pricing that live only in a PDF in Box.
  • Folders named by person, deals named by company, and nothing linking the two.

Questions it answers across both

  • “Which open deals have no proposal or contract in Box?”
  • “What did we propose to this account, and what changed between the first and last version?”
  • “Which contracts in Box renew in the next ninety days, and what does Salesforce say about each account?”
  • “What are the payment terms in the signed contract for this customer?”

What Liaison does with Box and Salesforce

  • Matches Box documents to Salesforce deals by account and lists the deals with nothing attached and the documents with no deal.
  • Reads the contracts in Box and drafts the renewal dates, terms and amounts onto the Salesforce account for you to confirm.
  • Answers questions about a deal from its documents, with the file and the page it came from.
  • Writes the renewal calendar from the contracts and the pipeline together.

Questions

Does Liaison move or edit files in Box?

It reads them. Creating or changing a document waits for your yes, and it never deletes.

Will it write to Salesforce?

It drafts the fields it found in the documents, such as renewal date and contract value, and waits for your confirmation on the first batch.

Can it read scanned contracts?

Yes, where the scan is legible. It tells you when it could not read a page rather than guessing.

What does it cost?

Liaison starts at $149 a month. Professional is $629 a month and Team is $2,950 a month for up to five seats. Every plan works with the tools you connect.
