Sciences Cloud, Life Sciences Cloud for Customer Engagement Add-on license, and the
Life Sciences Customer Engagement managed package.
You use your own Microsoft Teams tenant and licenses for remote engagement to keep governance
and security policies under your control. From Setup, configure named and external credentials
so that field users can connect Microsoft Teams and Life Sciences Customer Engagement. In the
Admin Console, manage access to Microsoft Teams for remote engagement and define how HCPs
receive email invitations.
To conduct remote visits, field users download the Microsoft Teams mobile app and
authenticate to Microsoft Teams. Starting a session from the Visit Engagement page opens the
meeting directly in Microsoft Teams.
During remote sessions, field users can share their screens in Microsoft Teams and then
return to Life Sciences Customer Engagement to present approved content from the presentation
player. Life Sciences Customer Engagement captures account-level visit details and
presentation metrics about the content shared. System logs help you troubleshoot issues with
link generation, authentication, and so on.
Configure Credentials for Remote Engagement with Microsoft Teams The Life Sciences Customer Engagement managed package includes the named and external credentials that support remote engagement with Microsoft Teams. To complete the setup, register an application in Microsoft Azure. Then, use the Microsoft Azure app details to update the named credential configuration in your Salesforce org. The named credential configuration enables secure authentication between Salesforce and Microsoft Teams and allows Life Sciences Customer Engagement to create and start Microsoft Teams meetings on behalf of users.
Configure Remote Engagement Settings for Microsoft Teams To enable field users to conduct remote engagement sessions with Microsoft Teams, configure settings in the Admin Console. Remote visit settings define how users schedule sessions. Invitation settings control how healthcare professionals (HCPs) receive meeting invitations and calendar events.
