Setting Up JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries

Info

JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries requires at least the Salesforce Enterprise Edition.

Credit rating by SCHUFA is a paid service. Before you can use JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries, you must close a corresponding contract with SCHUFA. The contract must specify, among others, the user name and password for accessing the SCHUFA API.

Setting up JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries involves the following tasks:

Basic Setup

Installing JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries

Info

JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries requires at least the Salesforce Enterprise Edition.

To install JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries in your org:

  1. Open the app listing in Salesforce AppExchange to get JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries.
  2. Click Get It Now to invoke the installation procedure.

  3. Follow the instructions and provide the required information as necessary.

    When prompted

    1. Choose the option Install for Admins Only.

      Why installing for admins only?

      For installing JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries, we strongly recommend to choose the option Install for Admins Only. This requires to set the appropriate permissions for the users in your org manually, using the permission sets shipped with the JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries package.

      This approach, however, has important advantages:

      • Permission sets allow accessing objects and object fields, that is, they control which data users can see and edit. This way, users can do their job without seeing data they do not need to see, which helps to minimize the risk of abuse and loss of data.
      • Using the permission sets makes sure that JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries works consistently as intended. Since the permission sets are included with the JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries package, they are upgraded as new objects or fields, Visualforce pages etc. are added with new JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries releases.

    2. Allow access to third-party websites.

      Why allowing access to third-party websites?

      Upon installing JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries, you are prompted to allow communication with a number of third-party websites. This is because the package contains remote site settings for the listed SCHUFA web services, which are required for JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries to operate.

Configuring Inquiry Monitoring

Your business may require to continuously monitor the relevant information on your accounts. To this end, your users can request follow-up reports for B2B-type requests. With monitoring enabled, JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries writes a new inquiry record for an account once new data is available.

The configuration options include:

Setting Default Monitoring Options

Depending on your organization's requirements, you can define a default status for the monitoring service (Active or Inactive), as well as the number and interval for the retry attempts.

    Start current date
    End future date
    Preferred Start Time intended execution time
    This is an approximate time. Salesforce starts the job when resources are available. Select an appropriate time for your business, for example, when Schufa is expected to provide new data, when you have the chance to review the new data, or when there is little network activity. The early morning hours (05:00 or 06:00) may make a reasonable choice.

  4. Click Save.

    This sets up the import of follow-up reports to be executed at the specified time. After creating the scheduled job, you can access it for modifications by navigating to Environments > Jobs > Scheduled Jobs > Manage.

For new Salesforce records or if the Schufa ID field is not set yet, JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries will first execute a company search when requesting a B2B-type inquiry. For recently founded companies or individual businesses, however, the company search may not return a result. To address that, JustOn SCHUFA Inquiries can extend the company search to the SCHUFA person database using the fields Owner First Name and Owner Last Name on the lead, account, contact or opportunity – depending on your approach.

To make the fields Owner First Name and Owner Last Name available to users on the relevant object's detail view::

  1. Navigate to the object management settings of the relevant object.

    Click to open the Setup menu and select Setup, then open Objects and Fields > Object Manager > Object.

  2. Click Page Layouts.

  3. Click Edit in the row of the layout you intend to modify.

  1. Click to enter Setup, then navigate to User Interface > Translation Workbench > Translation Language Settings.

  2. Click Enable.

    For more details, see Enable and Disable the Translation Workbench in the Salesforce Help.

Specific Use Cases
