- Opportunity scores are available in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience, but you have to turn on Einstein in Lightning Experience.
- When you don’t have any Sales Cloud Einstein licenses, Einstein Opportunity Scoring isn’t available in sandbox or for Salesforce Government Cloud customers.
- If you’re missing the option to enable Einstein Opportunity Scoring, contact Salesforce Customer Support.
- To get started with Einstein, follow the in-app prompts. Or, from Setup in Lightning Experience, enter Assisted Setup in the Quick Find. Then, select Assisted Setup under Einstein Sales.
- Confirm that you understand what happens when you turn on Einstein.
-
Click Turn It On. If needed, review and accept the terms.
Here’s what happens next.
- We analyze your teams’ past opportunities to build a scoring model. Building a model can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on how much data you have. The model, which is refreshed at regular intervals, is used to generate scores.
- We add the Score field to your standard and custom opportunity page layouts. If you use full view as your default record view, scores don’t always appear in the layout’s first section.
- We add the Opportunity Score field to the Recently Viewed list view. Add the field to public opportunity list views and ask your sales teams to add it to their own opportunity list views.
- We assign the Sales Cloud Einstein For Everyone permission set to all users who have a Salesforce user license. Users see scores after they’re generated. You can remove access for individual users through the permission set.
- We create a Sales Insights Integration user and assign it to a user profile of the same name. Although you see the user and profile listed in your org, they’re used only behind the scenes.
Tip If you don’t see scores a few days after turning on Einstein, review information about how Einstein scores your opportunities. If you still need help, contact Salesforce Customer Support for assistance. -
