Salesforce-like Workflow/Templates

Mike Rini

Hi All -

I'm pretty well versed in SmartSeehts, but trying to help my company implement a Salesforce-like SmartSheets approach - to save cost. To be clear, I know there is a integration available with Salesforce, but we do not work with them as partner.

I'm simply interested in creating a very scaled back, yet similar workflow within SmartSheets. I've found a few templates which are proving to be helpful, but since Salesforce isn't in my background, I thought I'd ask the community for some additional guidance on connecting sheets, workflows and automation.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

@Andrée Starå Sure! So I've never worked in Salesforce before, but in essence, I'm looking to replicate as many of it's features as possible via SmartSheets - actual sheets, workflows, reports and automation. For an example, I know that in the Salesforce world, there are Leads, Opportunities, Accounts and Contacts. All of those interact with each other in some way (i.e. - Leads become opportunities, Opportunities become Accounts, Accounts have Contacts, etc.) - and there are lots of other interactions.

I guess really all I was wondering is - has anyone setup CRM templates/workflows that I can leverage?? If not, no big deal, I'll just need to think through it a bit more.

I've created CRM solutions in Smartsheet for clients.

Here is an excellent starting point.
