Automate free trial extension alerts and updates in your CRM

Step 2:

Import account data from Snowflake (or data warehouse) 

The table template you copy to your workspace won’t come with data in it. To import account data from Snowflake, just click on the “+” icon in the first column, log in to your Snowflake account, select your Snowflake database, and submit. Once imported, map each respective data point to its own column in the table. 

For us, we’re importing the following from accounts that just got a free trial extension: email and company URL, their Clay workspace ID, their account executives information, and their opportunity ID that we’ll use to lookup their record in Salesforce. 

Not using Snowflake? You can delete this column and import account data from any other data warehouse or source.

Step 3:

Lookup account and AE in Salesforce (or CRM) 

Next, we’re going to use the opportunity ID we just pulled in from Snowflake to lookup the account’s record in Salesforce and import that data into the table. Then we’re going to use the owner ID attached to the account’s record to import the account executives' Slack user ID so we can automate trial extension alerts. 

Customize the “Get Owner” and “Get Opp” CRM lookups to do the same.

Step 4:

Customize your Slack message

Next, using data we pulled in from Snowflake and Salesforce, we’re going to automate a Slack message to our account executives every time a new trial extension gets added to one of their accounts. Customize the Slack message to fit your style and preferences.

Step 5:

Create a free trial record in Salesforce (or CRM) 

Last, we’re going to close the loop by creating a new record in Salesforce that details the account’s recent free trial extension. Now, moving forward, every time a new trial extension gets triggered in Snowflake, each account’s respective AE will get a Slack alert and Salesforce will get updated with a new record.
