Session automation can activate new or existing sessions and add eSigns, payments, document requests or automated workflows that are pre-defined using the Process Builder.

This article explains the actions that are available when you create a Salesforce Process using Lightico actions. For complete instructions for creating a Process in the Salesforce Process Builder, see Salesforce documentation.

  • Managed Package (Aut) - Boolean variable: "True" = process builder is initiating from a custom object that ships with a managed package in your org (And therefore contains a namespace).

  • Salesforce Record ID / Record ID (Aut, Adh) - Identifies the record that the Lightico Session and Files will be related to in Salesforce.
  • Role (Adh) - What the customer will be doing with a document in the session: SIGNER or APPROVER.
  • Salesforce Standard Object (Aut) - Boolean variable: "True" = process builder initiates from a Salesforce standard object (Account, Contact, Quote etc).
  • Send you own invite? (Aut) - Boolean variable: "True" = disables the Lightico session invitation and enables you to send your own custom invitation. "False" = Lightico sends a session invitation according to Lightico account settings. 
  • Session ID (Exist) - Identifies a specific Lightico session. Find this ID # in the Lightico Session record in Salesforce. If no session ID is entered as a variable, then the last session that was created in context of the running process is activated.
  • Update Session Data (Exist) - Boolean variable: "True" = Use existing data to complete customer forms.

Go to Lightico Session from Salesforce

Once criteria is met and the Process Builder action executes, a Lightico Session record is created in context of the record that initiated the process. 

So even though the session was initiated automatically without an agent, an agent can navigate at any time to this record and connect to the session through the Go to Session button.
