Admin & Settings Ideas

There are requests from customers that the functionality to resend notifications is needed. e.g. there are cases where email address is not correct and notifications could not be sent. And after the email address is corrected, the notifications need to be resent. One idea would be to implement "Resend button" in "Notification History" screen.

We send our customers notifications about upcoming renewal dates and other changes to their account (late payment notices, etc.) Currently there is no easy way to sync these email notifications to our CRM (Salesforce). This is vital information that our sales team should have access to when having conversations with their customers. Because they don't have access to Zuora, they have no way to know that there may be other communications with the customer around their subscriptions. We looked into building this out with a webhook, where authentication needs to be handled when calling the exposed apex endpoint. However, this can not be done with the Zuora callout functionality. What probably needs to happen is a new billing endpoint needs to be created, and that endpoint will do a callout to salesforce to create the note. TL;DR - we need engineers to help us implement this. We would like this to be a built out feature of Zuora's 360 sync or some other way to handle the communications through a configuration. Surely this is something that other businesses want to have available for teams that aren't in Zuora's interface?

In Spring 16 Salesforce introduced the ability to run Apex after a Sandbox refresh https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/spring16/release-notes/rn_deployment_sandbox_postcopy_script.htm At this time it is not possible to programmatically update Zuora api settings in Salesforce so you cannot update the settings post refresh using the above functionality. Allowing access to the settings that control the API access would allow users to have their sandboxes automatically update themselves to point at a non production Zuora instance on refresh rather than needing it to be a manual step.

One of the pain points we have right now is monitoring Zuora for failures. Periodically, we query https://rest.eu.zuora.com/v1/notification-history for failure notifications for both callouts and emails. What would be great is if we could receive a callout when a notification is entered in to the history. For example, for emails, I could use a custom event trigger of { "active": true, "baseObject": "EmailNotification", "condition": "changeType == 'INSERT' && EmailNotification.result != 'OK'", "description": "Trigger an event when a new email notification is added for an email which did not send successfully", "eventType": { "description": "An email failed to be sent", "displayName": "Email sending failed", "name": "EmailSendingFailed" } } And for callout failures I could use { "active": true, "baseObject": "CalloutNotification", "condition": "changeType == 'INSERT' && CalloutNotification.responseCode != '200'", "description": "Trigger an event when a new notification is added for a callout which did not complete successfully", "eventType": { "description": "A callout failed to be made", "displayName": "Callout failed", "name": "CalloutFailed" } }

(See https://community.zuora.com/t5/Release-Notifications/Zuora-Application-Release-230-August-2018/ba-p/24651 for context) Currently releases are given to happen over a range of datas. There's no easy way to tell which release an instance is on please. Please could a field be added to the Tenant Profile in Admin setup that gives the currently running version - that way we'll know when the release has happened, and can tell the difference from sandbox and production environments.

We are working with our ops team to reduce the number of manual account updates that their team has to perform, particularly related to editing Contacts or adding e-mails to the 'Additional E-mails' text box. Our hope was to create a specific profile for our Collections team to allow them to make changes to these fields. After looking at potential options, it seems that both Contact edits and 'Additional Email' edits are both grouped under the 'Modify Account' permission that also give access to ANY other field on an account level. Some of the custom Account fields we have created have end user provisioning impact, so from an audit perspective we cannot grant access to these users to edit all fields. I would like to request added functionality to be able to separate the permissions to edit contacts/addtl e-mail text box from the full 'Modify Account' permission set. This would be a big help to the efficiency of their team.

Feature Request: Require Audit Trail Status: under evaluation Reference Number: DE5826/PMT-876 Business Need: There are business requirements that are looking for the ability to have an audit trail for all fields and records. The requirement is to have an audit trail on all - Account fields (including all custom fields) - Subscription Fields (including all custom fields) - Contact Address Fields (including all custom fields) - Settings changes - Users' actions

Currently on the User account level we see the creation date only. For tracking and audit purposses would be great to have user account modification and deactivation dates.

I would like to suggest that the API be extended to handle setting up the Connection Settings in SFDC for Zuora and Zuora 360 -- currently only available via UI. This is the current process. https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/CA_Commerce/C_Zuora_Quotes/CB_Zuora_Quotes_Configuration_Settings/A_Zuora_Connection_Settings This would be highly useful in general, but particularly for SandboxPostCopy - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_interface_System_SandboxPostCopy.htm

The Zuora Quotes managed Salesforce package currently does not expose programatic access to the API URL/username/password. This means that when we create a fresh dev sandbox in Salesforce from production instance, the live API credentials make it to the dev sandbox. This is not cool. Salesforce provides a mechanism for automatically running an APEX class after sandbox creation where these API connection details could be changed. But at the moment these connection details cannot be changed from within APEX. I suggest you allow for setting these three values (but never getting them) via few new methods in the NamespaceUtil class. We already have setters like setPackageInstallStatus() in there. That way we can add this to our RunAfterSandboxCreation APEX class which would point our fresh dev Salesforce sandboxes to our dev sandbox in Zuora.

In the Notification Framework, an Event Trigger can compare old and new values on a given field (e.g. Invoice.Status and Invoice.Status_old). We would like for the subsequent callout built on the trigger to be able to reference this information This would allow an external system to hold the business logic of determining actions based on the combination of the old/new values

It would be most helpful to be able to export a tenant configuration to a file, like meta-data or similar, and have the ability to import it into a tenant. There are 2 use cases for this: first, to back up and archive configurations to satisfy auditor requests to validate no unapproved configurations have changed. Second, in ensuring environment integrity in API Sandboxes or Services tenants to your source/production tenant.

Hi, we configure SSO. It is working for the login and logout but not for the session expiration. Therefore, when Zuora session expires we are redirected to the Zuora standard login page and not to the SSO login page. Our users are lost and not happy about this. They are expecting to be redirected to the page where they can login again.

Use Case: When creating Notification Definition, we can only set one CommunicationProfileID at a time. it is a bit of task to create definition individually when a tenant has several Communication Profiles to manage and can this also result in a profile being accidentally missed.

We have hundreds of Zuora users and it can be a real pain finding a user on the user list, especially if their first and last names are in the middle of the alphabet. Would love the ability to: Search for a user by name Sort the list by other columns like role Filter the list (build list views like in Salesforce) so I could easily pull up a list of all Active users or all FinOps users for example. Be able to export any of the results of the above (so export only active users for example). This is a huge pain point for me as an admin. Thanks in advance!

We would like the ability to pass parameters into the Callout Notification BaseURL. The URL is currently static. For example, instead of a hard coded URL like this: https://mywebsite.com/zuora/account We would like something like this: https://mywebsite.com/zuora/{AccountId} This is useful for REST APIs that expect specific information in the URL. We would like the parameter options to include custom fields as well.

We got a request that the function to get notification history by Customer Account or Billing Batch is needed. Following improvements have to be made. In "Email History"("Setup Profiles, Notifications and Email Templates" > "Notification History" > "Email History"), it is needed to have filters "Customer Account" and "Billing Batch" so users can know which "Customer Account" or which "Billing Batch" of a "Customer Account" the notification was sent to. Also it is need to have a filter "Result" to get only "Failed" ones or "OK" ones. In Notification History API in the link below, it is needed to have "Customer Account" and "Billing Batch" in the Response. https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/DC_Developers/C_REST_API/B_REST_API_reference/Notification_History/Get_Email_Notification_Histories

I have credentials associated with Zuora: Community Connect Support Subscribed University This is kind of a pain; how about a unified auth system?

S_Mizu · ‎02-03-2016

The custom fields are currently displayed in the order in which the custom field was created. If I want to add a new custom field that is related to existing custom field, I would like to position it around the related custom field, but the new custom field is displayed at the bottom of the custom fields. I would like to control the display order of each custom field.

I typically have multiple tabs open to the UI. All the tabs have the same, not helpful, name. I really want these tabs to be named with the record that is displayed (a product, an account, an invoice, etc).
