Setting Field-Level Security
After creating the custom fields, go to Set Field-Level Security and ensure that the fields are visible for the necessary profiles. This ensures users with specific profiles have access to these fields.
API Access to Account and Opportunity Object
The Fibbler integration requires API access to the Account and Opportunity objects to get information about the account and opportunities.
CRM Sync Requirements
For the CRM sync to function properly, you must have the following permissions enabled for the authenticated user:
- Modify Metadata Through Metadata API
- View All Data
These permissions can be set by navigating to Setup > User > Profiles, then selecting the appropriate profile and enabling these specific permissions.
