Identify Rate Code Attributes\n- Ensure that rate codes have a field or flag indicating whether they belong to a group.\n- This could be a custom checkbox or picklist field in Salesforce or Thynk.cloud.\n\n### 2. Configure Filters in Thynk.cloud\n- Use Thynk.cloud’s filtering capabilities to exclude non-group rates from rate selection lists.\n- Example: Apply a filter where `Is_Group_Rate__c = TRUE`.\n\n### 3.

This article explains how to configure Thynk.cloud and Salesforce to hide non-group rates effectively. ## Understanding Rate Codes in Thynk.cloud - **Group Rates:** Rates associated with specific customer groups or contracts. - **Non-Group Rates:** General rates not tied to any group. ## Why Hide Non-Group Rates? - To simplify user experience by showing only relevant rates. - To prevent selection errors during order or case processing. ## Implementation Guide ### 1. Identify Rate Code Attributes - Ensure that rate codes have a field or flag indicating whether they belong to a group. - This could be a custom checkbox or picklist field in Salesforce or Thynk.cloud. ### 2. Configure Filters in Thynk.cloud - Use Thynk.cloud’s filtering capabilities to exclude non-group rates from rate selection lists. - Example: Apply a filter where `Is_Group_Rate__c = TRUE`. ### 3. Update Salesforce Integration - If rate codes are fetched via Salesforce objects, update SOQL queries or Apex code to filter out non-group rates. - Example SOQL snippet: ``` SELECT Id, Name FROM Rate_Code__c WHERE Is_Group_Rate__c = TRUE ``` ### 4. UI Customization - Modify Lightning Components or Visualforce pages to respect the filtering logic. - Ensure dropdowns or lookup fields only display group rates. ### 5. Testing - Validate that non-group rates are no longer visible in the relevant UI components. - Test with different user profiles to confirm consistent behavior. ## Best Practices - Maintain clear documentation of rate code attributes. - Use consistent naming conventions for rate codes. - Regularly review rate code data quality post-migration. ## Troubleshooting - **Issue:** Non-group rates still appear. - Verify filter criteria in Thynk.cloud and Salesforce. - Check for caching issues; clear cache if necessary. - Confirm user permissions do not override filters. - **Issue:** No rates appear after filtering. - Ensure group rate flags are correctly set on rate codes. - Review integration logs for errors. ## Additional Resources - Thynk.cloud Filtering Documentation - Salesforce SOQL Query Guide - Custom Lightning Component Development --- For further assistance, contact Thynk.cloud support or your Salesforce administrator.", "category": "Best Practices", "tags": [ "Thynk.cloud", "Salesforce", "Rate Codes", "Filtering", "Migration", "UI Customization", "Integration" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-a7896e59-ce1c-41f8-9740-e4bebabe2f38", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000r8jT4YAI" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T09:21:43.379949+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 362 }, { "id": "c1e820c8-189c-4ea1-b13c-8b543a78bc7d", "faq_id": "kn-514", "question": "How to: How to Hide Non-Group Rates in Thynk.cloud After Migration", "answer_summary": "## Overview After migrating to the new system, users may notice an extensive list of rate codes, including non-group rates that can clutter the interface.

Update Salesforce Picklist - Navigate to **Setup > Object Manager > Contact > Fields & Relationships > Source__c**. - Add **\"MEWS\"** as a new picklist value if it does not exist. ### 2. Modify Thynk.cloud Sliced Bread Rules - Access the Sliced Bread Rules configuration within Thynk.cloud. - Locate the rule that processes Guest Records from MEWS. - Add or update logic to: - Set **Sync Flag (SFMC)** to **TRUE** on the Contact record. - Append or set the **Source__c** field to include **\"MEWS\"**. ### 3. Testing - Create or update a Guest Record in MEWS. - Verify that the corresponding Contact record in Salesforce has: - **Sync Flag (SFMC)** set to **TRUE**. - **Source__c** includes **\"MEWS\"**. ### 4. Deployment - After successful testing in a sandbox or development environment, deploy changes to production. --- ## Best Practices - Ensure picklist value additions are communicated to Salesforce admins to avoid conflicts. - Use Thynk.cloud’s version control features to track changes to Sliced Bread Rules. - Implement error handling to log any failures during the sync process. --- ## Troubleshooting - **Issue:** Sync Flag not updating. - Verify that the Sliced Bread Rule is correctly triggered on Guest Record creation/update. - Check API logs for errors. - **Issue:** \"MEWS\" not appearing in Source__c field. - Confirm the picklist value was added and deployed. - Check field-level security and page layouts. - **Issue:** Contact record not updating. - Confirm integration connectivity between MEWS and Salesforce via Thynk.cloud. - Review Thynk.cloud logs for processing errors. --- ## Additional Resources - [Thynk.cloud Sliced Bread Rules Documentation](https://docs.thynk.cloud/sliced-bread-rules) - [Salesforce Picklist Management Guide](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=fields_defining_picklist_values.htm) - Contact Ryan Creek (rcreek@staypineapple.com) or Jordan Laycock for further context. --- ## Contact For further assistance, reach out to the Thynk.cloud support team or Staypineapple CRM administrators.", "category": "Salesforce Integration", "tags": [ "Thynk.cloud", "Sliced Bread Rules", "MEWS Integration", "Salesforce Contact", "Sync Flag", "Source__c", "Picklist", "CRM", "Staypineapple" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-52bb88c9-89f2-4684-ade0-6676d470a9eb", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000qSf0gYAC" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T09:45:51.608447+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 420 }, { "id": "53507ac5-9305-458c-b79e-1cb39e15113f", "faq_id": "kn-246", "question": "How to: Managing Account and Task Information in Thynk.cloud: Best Practices and Configuration Options", "answer_summary": "## Overview This article addresses common questions and best practices related to managing account and task information within the Thynk.cloud platform integrated with Salesforce.

Data Preparation\n- Maintain a mapping of properties to currencies. This can be done via:\n - A Custom Metadata Type or Custom Object in Salesforce that stores Property-to-Currency mappings.\n - Alternatively, hardcoded values within the Flow if mappings are static and limited.\n\n### 2. Salesforce Flow Configuration\n- Create a Record-Triggered Flow on the Account object that triggers on creation.\n- Add a decision element to evaluate the 'Property' field value.\n- Based on the property, assign the corresponding currency ISO code to the Account's Currency field.\n\n### 3.

This automation enhances data consistency and streamlines account creation processes. --- ## Business Requirement - When creating a new Account, the currency field should default based on the property selected. - Example mappings: - GBP: Marylebone, Kensington, Bloomsbury, Bristol - USD: Dupont - Euro: Westbury, River Lee, Croke Park --- ## Technical Implementation Guide ### 1. Data Preparation - Maintain a mapping of properties to currencies. This can be done via: - A Custom Metadata Type or Custom Object in Salesforce that stores Property-to-Currency mappings. - Alternatively, hardcoded values within the Flow if mappings are static and limited. ### 2. Salesforce Flow Configuration - Create a Record-Triggered Flow on the Account object that triggers on creation. - Add a decision element to evaluate the 'Property' field value. - Based on the property, assign the corresponding currency ISO code to the Account's Currency field. ### 3. Integration with Thynk.cloud - If property data or currency mappings are managed externally in Thynk.cloud: - Use Thynk.cloud APIs or integration connectors to fetch the currency mapping dynamically. - Implement an Apex action or external service call within the Flow to retrieve currency based on property. ### 4. Testing - Create test Accounts with different property values. - Verify that the currency field is correctly assigned as per the mapping. --- ## Best Practices - Use Custom Metadata Types for easy maintenance of property-currency mappings without code changes. - Ensure the Flow handles cases where the property is not mapped (default currency or error handling). - Document the mapping clearly for future updates. - Consider user permissions and field-level security for currency and property fields. --- ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Currency not assigned:** Check if the Flow is activated and the trigger criteria are correct. - **Incorrect currency assigned:** Verify the property values match exactly with the mapping keys. - **Integration failures:** Review API connectivity and authentication between Salesforce and Thynk.cloud. --- ## Summary By implementing a Salesforce Flow integrated with Thynk.cloud, organizations can automate currency assignment on new Account creation based on the selected property. This approach improves data accuracy and operational efficiency in multi-currency environments. --- ## References - Salesforce Flow Builder Documentation - Thynk.cloud Integration Guides - Custom Metadata Types in Salesforce", "category": "Salesforce Integration", "tags": [ "Salesforce Flow", "Currency Assignment", "Account Creation", "Thynk.cloud Integration", "Multi-currency", "Custom Metadata", "Automation" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-f38ef8b8-cd56-4d02-81b0-e073ad0189bd", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000rOv6iYAC" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T08:45:31.119565+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 402 }, { "id": "713721e7-7a55-45ce-a5b5-ba6c07fad2ed", "faq_id": "kn-296", "question": "How to: Managing Security and Data Access in Salesforce Outlook Integration with Einstein Activity Capture", "answer_summary": "## Overview This article addresses common security concerns related to the Salesforce Outlook integration, specifically focusing on data access differences when using the standard Outlook add-in versu...", "answer_html": "## Overview\nThis article addresses common security concerns related to the Salesforce Outlook integration, specifically focusing on data access differences when using the standard Outlook add-in versus Einstein Activity Capture (EAC).

Rollout to Other Sales Managers - Once confirmed, replicate the calendar addition process for other Sales Managers as needed. --- ## Best Practices - Maintain centralized control over shared calendars to avoid discrepancies. - Use Salesforce roles and permission sets to manage calendar visibility efficiently. - Document calendar configurations and share with the team to streamline onboarding. --- ## Troubleshooting Tips - If events still do not appear: - Clear browser cache and refresh the calendar view. - Confirm that event records are assigned or visible to Sales Manager users. - Check for any Salesforce sharing rules or Apex sharing that might restrict access. - Review Thynk.cloud integration logs for errors related to calendar synchronization. --- ## Additional Resources - [Thynk.cloud Calendar Integration Guide](https://docs.thynk.cloud/calendar-integration) - [Salesforce Calendar Sharing Best Practices](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=calendar_sharing.htm) - [Thynk.cloud User Permissions and Roles](https://docs.thynk.cloud/user-permissions) --- ## Summary To resolve visibility issues with the My Calendar\\DS Events calendar for Sales Managers, ensure proper sharing settings and permissions are configured in both Salesforce and Thynk.cloud.

It covers the typical workflow, integration points, and best practices to ensure smooth handling of such cases.\n\n---\n\n## Scenario Description\nA common scenario arises when a booking exists in Salesforce (e.g., a MYCE Quote record) but lacks a linked reservation or guest record. In such cases, a new paymaster entity must be created in the external property management system (e.g., Mews) via Thynk.cloud to facilitate billing and payment processing.\n\n---\n\n## Technical Workflow\n\n1. **Case Creation in Salesforce:**\n - A support or operations user creates a case in Salesforce to request a new paymaster for a booking without reservations.\n - The case includes details such as booking reference, guest information, and any relevant notes.\n\n2. **Thynk.cloud Integration:**\n - Thynk.cloud listens for such cases or is manually triggered to process the request.\n - Using Salesforce APIs, Thynk.cloud retrieves the booking details (e.g., MYCE Quote record).\n\n3. **Paymaster Creation in Mews:**\n - Thynk.cloud calls the Mews API to create a new paymaster entity linked to the booking.\n - The paymaster includes billing information necessary for invoicing and payment.\n\n4. **Status Update and Confirmation:**\n - Upon successful creation, Thynk.cloud updates the Salesforce case status to 'Closed' and adds confirmation notes.\n - Notifications may be sent to the requester confirming the setup.\n\n---\n\n## Salesforce Configuration and Customization\n\n- **Custom Objects:**\n - `thn__MYCE_Quote__c` represents booking quotes.\n - Cases are used to track support requests related to bookings.\n\n- **Automation:**\n - Workflow rules or Process Builder flows can be configured to notify Thynk.cloud or trigger API calls when a new paymaster request case is created.\n\n- **Linking Records:**\n - Ensure that the booking record URL is included in the case description for easy reference.\n\n---\n\n## Best Practices\n\n- Always verify booking details before creating a paymaster to avoid duplicates.\n- Maintain clear communication with the requester via case comments or email.\n- Log all API interactions for audit and troubleshooting purposes.\n- Use standardized naming conventions for paymasters to ensure consistency.\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting Common Issues\n\n- **Paymaster Creation Fails:**\n - Check API credentials and connectivity between Thynk.cloud and Mews.\n - Validate booking data completeness.\n\n- **Case Not Updated:**\n - Verify that the integration process has permissions to update Salesforce cases.\n - Review error logs for failed updates.\n\n- **Duplicate Paymasters:**\n - Implement checks in the integration logic to detect existing paymasters before creation.\n\n---\n\n## API Usage and Development Patterns\n\n- Use RESTful API calls to interact with Mews for paymaster creation.\n- Authenticate using OAuth or API keys as per Mews API documentation.\n- Handle asynchronous responses and implement retry logic for transient failures.\n- Log request and response payloads securely for debugging.\n\n---\n\n## Summary\nThis guide outlines the process and technical considerations for handling new paymaster requests for bookings without reservations using Thynk.cloud integrated with Salesforce and Mews.

In such cases, a new paymaster entity must be created in the external property management system (e.g., Mews) via Thynk.cloud to facilitate billing and payment processing. --- ## Technical Workflow 1. **Case Creation in Salesforce:** - A support or operations user creates a case in Salesforce to request a new paymaster for a booking without reservations. - The case includes details such as booking reference, guest information, and any relevant notes. 2. **Thynk.cloud Integration:** - Thynk.cloud listens for such cases or is manually triggered to process the request. - Using Salesforce APIs, Thynk.cloud retrieves the booking details (e.g., MYCE Quote record). 3. **Paymaster Creation in Mews:** - Thynk.cloud calls the Mews API to create a new paymaster entity linked to the booking. - The paymaster includes billing information necessary for invoicing and payment. 4. **Status Update and Confirmation:** - Upon successful creation, Thynk.cloud updates the Salesforce case status to 'Closed' and adds confirmation notes. - Notifications may be sent to the requester confirming the setup. --- ## Salesforce Configuration and Customization - **Custom Objects:** - `thn__MYCE_Quote__c` represents booking quotes. - Cases are used to track support requests related to bookings. - **Automation:** - Workflow rules or Process Builder flows can be configured to notify Thynk.cloud or trigger API calls when a new paymaster request case is created. - **Linking Records:** - Ensure that the booking record URL is included in the case description for easy reference. --- ## Best Practices - Always verify booking details before creating a paymaster to avoid duplicates. - Maintain clear communication with the requester via case comments or email. - Log all API interactions for audit and troubleshooting purposes. - Use standardized naming conventions for paymasters to ensure consistency. --- ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Paymaster Creation Fails:** - Check API credentials and connectivity between Thynk.cloud and Mews. - Validate booking data completeness. - **Case Not Updated:** - Verify that the integration process has permissions to update Salesforce cases. - Review error logs for failed updates. - **Duplicate Paymasters:** - Implement checks in the integration logic to detect existing paymasters before creation. --- ## API Usage and Development Patterns - Use RESTful API calls to interact with Mews for paymaster creation. - Authenticate using OAuth or API keys as per Mews API documentation. - Handle asynchronous responses and implement retry logic for transient failures. - Log request and response payloads securely for debugging. --- ## Summary This guide outlines the process and technical considerations for handling new paymaster requests for bookings without reservations using Thynk.cloud integrated with Salesforce and Mews.

Previously, the ThynkMEWS integration factored these adjustments automatically by leveraging a MEWS configuration setting within the 6 Group Base Rates. ## Issue Description - After a recent system upgrade, the functionality that allowed blocks created in Thynk to inherit the \"additional occupancy adjustment\" from MEWS base rates stopped working. - This causes blocks sent from Thynk to MEWS to omit the extra charges for triple or quad occupancy. - The issue primarily affects groups with more than two occupants per room, such as student or collegiate groups. ## Impact - Revenue loss due to uncharged additional occupancy fees (e.g., $20-$40 per room). - Particularly significant for properties like The Watertown Hotel and The University Inn, which host groups with 3-4 occupants per room. ## Root Cause - A recent system upgrade disabled the inheritance of occupancy adjustments from MEWS base rates to blocks created in Thynk. - Thynk plans to implement native functionality to handle pricing adjustments based on the number of occupants directly within the platform, replacing the previous MEWS-based method. ## Recommended Actions 1. **Short-Term Workaround:** - Manually verify and adjust block rates in MEWS to include additional occupancy fees until the new Thynk functionality is deployed. 2. **Long-Term Solution:** - Await and implement the upcoming Thynk feature that supports differentiated pricing based on occupancy count within Thynk itself. - Update integration configurations to leverage this new functionality once available. 3. **Monitoring & Validation:** - Regularly audit blocks created from Thynk to MEWS to ensure occupancy adjustments are applied correctly. - Communicate with affected properties and groups to mitigate revenue impact. ## Best Practices - Maintain clear documentation of rate structures and occupancy adjustments within both Thynk and MEWS. - Coordinate system upgrades with integration teams to prevent disruption of critical pricing logic. - Use test blocks to validate occupancy adjustment inheritance after any platform updates. ## Troubleshooting Tips - If occupancy adjustments are missing: - Check if the MEWS base rate configuration still includes the additional occupancy fees. - Confirm if the integration settings between Thynk and MEWS have changed post-upgrade. - Review logs or audit trails for errors during block creation or synchronization. ## Contact & Support For further assistance, contact Thynk Support or your CRM Systems Analyst.

It provides guidance on hiding fields, adding dropdowns, removing fields, managing dependencies, record cross-referencing, and editable list views.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Hiding the 'Event Stage' Field\n- **Requirement:** Hide the 'Event Stage' field on the New DS Event form and DS Event record page without removing it entirely.\n- **Salesforce Limitation:** Standard Lightning Record Pages do not support hiding fields conditionally; fields can only be removed from the layout.\n- **Workaround:**\n - Use **Dynamic Forms** (Lightning App Builder) if available for the DS Event object to conditionally hide fields.\n - If Dynamic Forms are not enabled or supported, consider:\n - Creating a custom Lightning Component or Lightning Web Component (LWC) to render the form with conditional visibility.\n - Using record types or page layouts to control field visibility.\n- **Note:** If hiding is not possible, communicate the need to remove the field entirely before actioning.\n\n## 2. Adding a Currency Dropdown Field\n- **Requirement:** Add a dropdown field with options (EUR, USD) to both the New DS Event form and the DS Event record page.\n- **Implementation Steps:**\n - Create a new **Picklist** custom field on the DS Event object with the required currency options.\n - Add this field to the appropriate page layouts.\n - For the New DS Event form (Quick Action or Lightning Record Page), ensure the field is included in the layout or form configuration.\n- **Troubleshooting:**\n - If the field does not appear on the New form, verify the Quick Action layout or Dynamic Forms configuration.\n - Refresh metadata cache or clear browser cache if changes do not reflect.\n\n## 3. Removing 'Inquiries' and 'Bookings' Fields\n- **Issue:** Errors occur when attempting to remove these fields.\n- **Possible Causes:**\n - Field dependencies or validation rules referencing these fields.\n - Apex triggers or automation (Flows, Process Builder) that require these fields.\n- **Recommended Actions:**\n - Review field dependencies and automation.\n - Temporarily deactivate related automation to test removal.\n - Consult Salesforce Setup > Object Manager > DS Event > Fields & Relationships for dependencies.\n\n## 4.

It provides guidance on hiding fields, adding dropdowns, removing fields, managing dependencies, record cross-referencing, and editable list views. --- ## 1. Hiding the 'Event Stage' Field - **Requirement:** Hide the 'Event Stage' field on the New DS Event form and DS Event record page without removing it entirely. - **Salesforce Limitation:** Standard Lightning Record Pages do not support hiding fields conditionally; fields can only be removed from the layout. - **Workaround:** - Use **Dynamic Forms** (Lightning App Builder) if available for the DS Event object to conditionally hide fields. - If Dynamic Forms are not enabled or supported, consider: - Creating a custom Lightning Component or Lightning Web Component (LWC) to render the form with conditional visibility. - Using record types or page layouts to control field visibility. - **Note:** If hiding is not possible, communicate the need to remove the field entirely before actioning. ## 2. Adding a Currency Dropdown Field - **Requirement:** Add a dropdown field with options (EUR, USD) to both the New DS Event form and the DS Event record page. - **Implementation Steps:** - Create a new **Picklist** custom field on the DS Event object with the required currency options. - Add this field to the appropriate page layouts. - For the New DS Event form (Quick Action or Lightning Record Page), ensure the field is included in the layout or form configuration. - **Troubleshooting:** - If the field does not appear on the New form, verify the Quick Action layout or Dynamic Forms configuration. - Refresh metadata cache or clear browser cache if changes do not reflect. ## 3. Removing 'Inquiries' and 'Bookings' Fields - **Issue:** Errors occur when attempting to remove these fields. - **Possible Causes:** - Field dependencies or validation rules referencing these fields. - Apex triggers or automation (Flows, Process Builder) that require these fields. - **Recommended Actions:** - Review field dependencies and automation. - Temporarily deactivate related automation to test removal. - Consult Salesforce Setup > Object Manager > DS Event > Fields & Relationships for dependencies. ## 4. Field Dependencies and Conditional Visibility - **Exploratory Questions:** - Hide 'DS Employee' search bar when Invitee Type = Hotelier or Client/Travel Agent. - Hide all right-side fields except 'Attended' when Invitee Type = DS Employee. - **Salesforce Capabilities:** - Use **Dynamic Forms** with visibility filters based on field values. - Alternatively, use **Record Types** and page layouts to simulate conditional visibility. - For complex UI logic, consider custom Lightning Components. ## 5. Record Cross-Referencing and Data Synchronization - **Allergies / Food Restrictions:** - Show dependent free text field when 'Yes' is selected. - Save this information to the Contact record. - Implementation: - Use dependent picklist or checkbox with a conditional field. - Use automation (Flow or Process Builder) to update Contact record when Invitee form is saved. - **Attendance Tag for Clients / Travel Agents:** - Display a checkbox indicating prior attendance. - Implementation: - Create a roll-up summary or use Flow to check related DS Event Invitations with 'Attended' = TRUE. - Display this as a formula or checkbox field on the Contact or Invitee record. ## 6. Editable Sales Program Invitations List - **Requirement:** Enable inline editing of specific fields (checkboxes, etc.) directly from the related list. - **Salesforce Options:** - Use **Enhanced Related Lists** with inline editing enabled. - Use **Lightning Data Table** in a custom Lightning Component for advanced inline editing. - Add pencil icons or double-click editing via custom components. ## 7. Implementation Plan and Mass Data Updates - Provide templates for: - New DS Event fields. - Sales Program Invitations fields. - Use these templates to adapt existing Excel databases for bulk import. - Use Salesforce Data Loader or third-party ETL tools for mass updates. --- ## Best Practices Summary - Leverage Salesforce Dynamic Forms for conditional field visibility. - Validate dependencies before removing fields to avoid errors. - Use automation tools (Flows, Process Builder) for cross-object data synchronization. - Consider custom Lightning Components for complex UI requirements. - Maintain clear communication with stakeholders before making irreversible changes. --- ## Troubleshooting Tips - If fields cannot be hidden, verify if Dynamic Forms are enabled. - Check for validation rules or triggers causing errors on field removal. - Use Salesforce Setup audit tools to identify dependencies. - Test changes in a sandbox environment before production deployment. --- ## References - Salesforce Dynamic Forms Documentation - Thynk.cloud Salesforce Integration Guides - Salesforce Lightning App Builder Best Practices - Salesforce Flow Automation Tutorials For further assistance, contact the Thynk.cloud support team or your Salesforce administrator.", "category": "Salesforce Integration", "tags": [ "DS Sales Events", "Salesforce", "Thynk.cloud", "Dynamic Forms", "Field Visibility", "Picklist", "Automation", "Flow", "Record Cross-referencing", "Inline Editing", "Data Import", "Troubleshooting" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-71c412e7-b9a6-44c9-ad0a-3d3f1d2a3835", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000qKnZlYAK" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T08:42:50.733709+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 787 }, { "id": "1c01075c-ad77-4773-bac9-78dfe9af26f2", "faq_id": "kn-158", "question": "How to: How to Change the Status of a Quote in Thynk.cloud Integrated with Salesforce", "answer_summary": "## Overview This article explains how to change the status of a quote within the Thynk.cloud platform integrated with Salesforce, addressing common scenarios such as accidental status changes. ## Unde...", "answer_html": "## Overview\nThis article explains how to change the status of a quote within the Thynk.cloud platform integrated with Salesforce, addressing common scenarios such as accidental status changes.\n\n## Understanding Quote Statuses\n- **Option**: Indicates a provisional booking status.\n- **Tentative**: Indicates a tentative booking, often used when confirmation is pending.\n\n## Changing Quote Status\n1. **Access the Quote Record**\n - Navigate to the Salesforce Lightning record page for the quote.\n - Example URL format: `https://.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/thn__MYCE_Quote__c//view`\n\n2. **Edit the Status Field**\n - Locate the status field on the quote record page.\n - Click the field to edit and select the desired status (e.g., change from \"tentative\" back to \"option\").\n\n3. **Save Changes**\n - Confirm and save the updated status.\n\n## Best Practices\n- **Avoid Accidental Changes**: Implement confirmation dialogs or restrict status changes to authorized users.\n- **Audit Trail**: Use Salesforce field history tracking to monitor status changes.\n- **User Training**: Educate users on the meaning of each status to reduce errors.\n\n## Troubleshooting Common Issues\n- **Status Field Not Editable**: Check user permissions and field-level security in Salesforce.\n- **Status Reverts Automatically**: Verify if any automation (e.g., workflows, process builder, or Apex triggers) is overriding manual changes.\n- **Unable to Find Quote Record**: Confirm the correct Salesforce record ID and user access rights.\n\n## Salesforce-Specific Configurations\n- The quote status field is typically a picklist on the custom object `thn__MYCE_Quote__c`.\n- Ensure that the picklist values include all necessary statuses such as \"option\" and \"tentative\".\n- Use Salesforce validation rules to enforce business logic around status transitions.\n\n## API Usage\n- To programmatically update the quote status, use Salesforce REST or SOAP APIs targeting the `thn__MYCE_Quote__c` object.\n- Example PATCH request payload:\n ```json\n {\n \"Status__c\": \"option\"\n }\n ```\n- Ensure API user has appropriate permissions.\n\n## Summary\nChanging the status of a quote in Thynk.cloud integrated with Salesforce involves editing the status field on the quote record.

**Module:** Guest Room Control (GRC) in Salesforce Lightning - **Current Behavior:** ADR values are displayed as whole numbers without decimals. - **Requested Behavior:** ADR values should display two decimal places. ## Implementation Guide 1. **Identify ADR Field Configuration:** - Locate the ADR field in the GRC Salesforce object (likely a custom or standard currency/number field). 2. **Modify Field Decimal Places:** - Navigate to Salesforce Setup > Object Manager > [GRC Object] > Fields & Relationships. - Find the ADR field. - Edit the field properties to set the number of decimal places to 2. 3. **Update Lightning Page or Component (if applicable):** - If ADR is displayed via a Lightning component or custom UI, ensure the formatting supports two decimals. - Use Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) or JavaScript formatting functions to enforce two decimal places. 4. **Validate Changes:** - Test the display on the Guest Room Control Log page: https://pentahotels.lightning.force.com/lightning/n/Guest_Room_Control_Log - Confirm ADR values show with two decimals. ## Best Practices - Always back up current field configurations before making changes. - Coordinate with the revenue team to confirm formatting meets their requirements. - Test changes in a sandbox environment prior to production deployment. ## Troubleshooting - **Issue:** ADR still shows without decimals after configuration. - Verify field type supports decimals (Number or Currency). - Check if any Apex code or triggers override the display format. - Confirm Lightning components or Visualforce pages are updated accordingly. - **Issue:** Rounding errors or incorrect decimal values. - Ensure data input and calculations maintain decimal precision. - Review any integrations or data transformations affecting ADR values. ## References - Salesforce Object Manager Documentation: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about.htm -

Data Integration and Mapping - Verify that the data feed from Salesforce includes split reservation details. - Update the data mapping configuration in Thynk.cloud to correctly populate the new fields in the PDF. ### 4. Testing - Use a Salesforce Sandbox environment to test the updated PDF form. - Generate rooming lists with split reservations and validate the output. ## Best Practices - Maintain version control of PDF templates. - Document changes clearly for future maintenance. - Coordinate with Salesforce admins to ensure data consistency. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **PDF does not display split reservations:** Check data mappings and ensure the data feed includes all split reservation records. - **Formatting issues in PDF:** Review template layout and dynamic field configurations. - **Data mismatch between Salesforce and PDF:** Validate Salesforce data integrity and API responses. ## Related Resources - Thynk.cloud PDF Form Customization Guide - Salesforce Data Model for Reservations - API Reference for Data Integration --- For further assistance, please contact Thynk.cloud support or consult the Salesforce integration team.", "category": "Technical Documentation", "tags": [ "Thynk.cloud", "PDF forms", "reservation split", "Salesforce integration", "rooming list", "PDF template", "data mapping" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-13f9c740-b05d-4ce8-9745-d22d870242f5", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000mkw7BYAQ" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T08:56:17.501303+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 338 }, { "id": "7ebd4073-8915-41f9-bb18-f7cc8fab75e1", "faq_id": "kn-240", "question": "How to: Implementing the Destination Fee Clause in Group Agreement Merge Documents", "answer_summary": "## Overview This article provides guidance on incorporating the Destination Fee clause into group agreement merge documents within the Thynk.cloud platform integrated with Salesforce.

Master records like Reservations and Room Blocks will not be deleted but moved to a Cancelled status. - **Partial Completion Risk**: Managed by Sliced Bread, ensuring that deletion steps only run after successful completion of all import recipes. ## Proposed Jira Changes 1. **Add Last Import Run Number Field**: Introduce the Last Import Run Number field to all relevant objects. 2. **Implement Deletion Logic**: Update existing recipes to include the new Last Import Run Number field and apply consistent deletion logic. 3. **Test and Deploy**: Ensure all updates are tested and deployed to the respective orgs. ## Conclusion This ETL Data Deletion Design provides a structured approach to maintaining data integrity between source files and Salesforce, ensuring that deletions are accurately reflected in the system.", "category": "Technical Documentation", "tags": [ "ETL", "Salesforce", "Data Deletion", "Sliced Bread", "Integration" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-fd0a83b0-1209-4644-836b-d0f39a5adc08", "score": 100, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "confluence", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THYN/pages/2070872069/ETL+Data+Deletion+Design" ], "last_updated": "2025-11-10T09:06:27.632125+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 557 }, { "id": "9e90015b-cca0-4bca-967f-8849fb8c2d6a", "faq_id": "kn-aabe18c6", "question": "How to: Data Cleanup for SNT Reservations in Thynk.cloud During Mint House Migration", "answer_summary": "## Overview This article addresses the data cleanup process for SNT reservations in Thynk.cloud as Mint House transitions to the Mews platform.

Problem & Context When the custom metadata type `DAV.PMS Integration Is Read Only` is set to true, the Enhanced RBM (Room Block Manager) must operate...", "answer_html": "# RBM Read-Only PMS Integration Enhancements\n\n## 1. Problem & Context\nWhen the custom metadata type `DAV.PMS Integration Is Read Only` is set to true, the Enhanced RBM (Room Block Manager) must operate in a read-only integration mode. This mode restricts PMS synchronization to read operations only, preventing users from modifying or pushing data to PMS. The current behavior allows editing, syncing, and rooming list operations even when PMS is read-only, leading to data inconsistencies and potential overwriting of PMS-controlled information. This enhancement ensures that the RBM UI and integration logic respect the PMS read-only setting.\n\n### Key Enhancements:\n- Introduces new metadata fields: `External Id`, `Last Fetch Date`.\n- Provides user guidance when PMS data is missing or outdated.\n\n## 2. Functional Requirements\n### 2.1 In-Scope Behavior (when PMS Integration Is Read Only = true)\n- **UI Adjustments (Enhanced RBM UI)**:\n - Hide “Sync” and “Rooming List” buttons.\n - Set the Blocked quantity to read-only on the room type rows.\n - Only display the “Save” button.\n - Display an editable field `External Id` (Text, 255) on Block Edit.\n - Display contextual warnings under specific data conditions.\n\n- **PMSs in Scope**:\n - MDW\n - Mews\n - StayNTouch\n - MDW OHIP\n - Protel on Premise\n - HotelKey\n\n- **Out of Scope**:\n - Opera OXI\n - Hconnect\n - Protel Air\n - Sihot\n\n- **Disable Auto Save & Sync**:\n - When the Booking moves to another status, auto save & sync for Room Blocks related to a read-only PMS should be disabled.\n\n### Integration Logic\n- During PMS “Read” operations (SB recipes):\n - Match Room Block using the field `External Id`:\n - If PMS Block Code or PMS Block Id equals `External Id` and same property, the record is matched.\n - Update Room Block → `Last Fetch Date` with the current timestamp (NOW()).\n\n### UI Warning Rules\n- If the Room Block Status is not `Inquired` and not null:\n - When `Last Fetch Date` is null and `External Id` is not null, display warning: “Please ensure the External ID assigned is correct.”\n - When `External Id` is null, display warning: “Please add the missing External ID to this Room Block.”\n\n## 3.

Problem & Context When the custom metadata type `DAV.PMS Integration Is Read Only` is set to true, the Enhanced RBM (Room Block Manager) must operate in a read-only integration mode. This mode restricts PMS synchronization to read operations only, preventing users from modifying or pushing data to PMS. The current behavior allows editing, syncing, and rooming list operations even when PMS is read-only, leading to data inconsistencies and potential overwriting of PMS-controlled information. This enhancement ensures that the RBM UI and integration logic respect the PMS read-only setting. ### Key Enhancements: - Introduces new metadata fields: `External Id`, `Last Fetch Date`. - Provides user guidance when PMS data is missing or outdated. ## 2. Functional Requirements ### 2.1 In-Scope Behavior (when PMS Integration Is Read Only = true) - **UI Adjustments (Enhanced RBM UI)**: - Hide “Sync” and “Rooming List” buttons. - Set the Blocked quantity to read-only on the room type rows. - Only display the “Save” button. - Display an editable field `External Id` (Text, 255) on Block Edit. - Display contextual warnings under specific data conditions. - **PMSs in Scope**: - MDW - Mews - StayNTouch - MDW OHIP - Protel on Premise - HotelKey - **Out of Scope**: - Opera OXI - Hconnect - Protel Air - Sihot - **Disable Auto Save & Sync**: - When the Booking moves to another status, auto save & sync for Room Blocks related to a read-only PMS should be disabled. ### Integration Logic - During PMS “Read” operations (SB recipes): - Match Room Block using the field `External Id`: - If PMS Block Code or PMS Block Id equals `External Id` and same property, the record is matched. - Update Room Block → `Last Fetch Date` with the current timestamp (NOW()). ### UI Warning Rules - If the Room Block Status is not `Inquired` and not null: - When `Last Fetch Date` is null and `External Id` is not null, display warning: “Please ensure the External ID assigned is correct.” - When `External Id` is null, display warning: “Please add the missing External ID to this Room Block.” ## 3. Technical Solution ### 3.1 Data Model - **Reference Object Fields**: - `Room Block`: - `External Id`: Text (255) - PMS Block identifier (Block Code or Block PMS Id) - `Last Fetch Date`: DateTime - Timestamp of last successful PMS read integration. ### 3.2 System Components - **UI Layer**: - Conditionally hides UI actions and displays warnings based on metadata and field state. - Exposes editable `External Id` input on Room Block edit view. - **Read Enhanced Handler**: - Finds Room Block where PMS record ID or Block Code matches `External Id` for the same Property. - If found, update `Last Fetch Date` = NOW(). ### 3.3 Integration Flow Sequence 1. RBM UI displays `External Id` if the PMS integration is Read only. 2. Handle Read receives request and finds a block match by `External Id`. 3. If Block Found, set `Last Fetch Date` to current timestamp. 4. UI displays `External Id` field and any relevant warnings. 5. If PMS Read Only == true, hide Sync & Rooming List buttons. ### 3.4 Configuration & Performance Notes - Ensure `Last Fetch Date` is stored in UTC. - Updates to `Last Fetch Date` should occur only when a valid PMS record is matched. ## 4.

These rules ensure accurate and automated pricing calculations, improving operational efficiency. ## Key Features - **Flexible Rule Definitions:** Set pricing based on time slots, peak/off-peak periods, or special event categories. - **Automated Calculations:** Pricing updates automatically when booking details change. - **Integration with Salesforce:** Pricing rules can be synchronized with Salesforce objects for seamless CRM and billing workflows. ## Implementation Guide 1. **Access Pricing Rules Module:** Navigate to the Function Spaces section in the Thynk Admin interface. 2. **Create New Pricing Rule:** Define criteria such as date ranges, time periods, and applicable function spaces. 3. **Set Pricing Parameters:** Input base prices, discounts, or surcharges as needed. 4. **Test Pricing Logic:** Use sample bookings to verify that pricing rules apply correctly. 5. **Activate Rules:** Publish the pricing rules to make them effective for live bookings. ## Best Practices - Regularly review and update pricing rules to reflect market changes. - Use descriptive naming conventions for rules to simplify management. - Leverage Salesforce integration to automate billing and reporting. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Pricing Not Applying Correctly:** Verify rule criteria and ensure no conflicting rules exist. - **Integration Sync Failures:** Check API connectivity between Thynk.cloud and Salesforce. - **Unexpected Discounts or Surcharges:** Review rule priority and overlapping conditions. ## API Usage Thynk.cloud APIs support CRUD operations on pricing rules, enabling programmatic management and integration with external systems. Use REST endpoints to create, update, retrieve, or delete pricing rules as part of your automation workflows. ## Summary Function space pricing rules in Thynk.cloud empower property admins to automate and customize pricing strategies effectively.

When switching devices, the app must be reconfigured or reset on the server side to re-establish the connection. ## Recommended Resolution Steps 1. **User Attempts Re-Adding Authenticator:** - User tries to re-add the Thynk account in the authenticator app. - If unsuccessful, proceed to next step. 2. **System Administrator Intervention:** - The system administrator must remove the existing authenticator association for the user within the Thynk platform or Salesforce integration settings. - Reset the user's multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup. 3. **User Reconfigures Authenticator:** - After reset, the user sets up the authenticator app again using the new QR code or secret key provided. ## Salesforce Integration Notes - Salesforce support typically cannot reset Thynk-specific MFA settings. - The system administrator managing Thynk user accounts must perform the reset. - Ensure that the administrator has appropriate permissions to manage MFA settings within Thynk and Salesforce. ## Best Practices - Document MFA reset procedures for quick reference. - Communicate clearly with users about MFA reset timelines. - Encourage users to backup authenticator keys when possible. ## Troubleshooting Tips - Verify that the user is using the correct authenticator app compatible with Thynk. - Confirm that the system time on the user's device is accurate, as time drift can cause sync failures. - Check for any platform-wide MFA issues or outages. ## Summary Authenticator app sync issues after device changes require administrator intervention to reset MFA settings in Thynk.

Following best practices in integration design and thorough troubleshooting can prevent and resolve such discrepancies effectively. --- ## References - [Thynk.cloud Salesforce Integration Guide] - [Mews API Documentation] - [Salesforce Custom Object Configuration] --- For further assistance, contact the Thynk support or development team with detailed logs and affected record IDs.", "category": "Troubleshooting", "tags": [ "Thynk.cloud", "Mews", "Salesforce Integration", "Order Items", "Data Synchronization", "API", "Troubleshooting", "Guest Count", "Booking Date" ], "difficulty": "Intermediate", "url": "https://faq.thynk.cloud/faq/comprehensive#kb-791437bf-1cfd-480c-a48c-831ee6692492", "score": 150, "view_count": 0, "source_type": "knowledge", "source": "salesforce", "source_references": [ "https://thynk.my.salesforce.com/500SZ00000sQGIDYA4" ], "last_updated": "2025-10-02T08:46:53.404255+00:00", "applies_to": [], "version_context": null, "word_count": 474 }, { "id": "c90c261b-dd34-44c7-80d2-c8b4daccf2ed", "faq_id": "kn-311", "question": "How to: Resolving 'Browser Blocks Cross Domain Cookies' Error When Inviting Contacts to Sales Programme in Thynk.cloud", "answer_summary": "## Overview When selecting multiple contacts from a Salesforce contact list and inviting them to a sales programme via Thynk.cloud, users may encounter the error message: **'Browser blocks cross domai...", "answer_html": "## Overview\nWhen selecting multiple contacts from a Salesforce contact list and inviting them to a sales programme via Thynk.cloud, users may encounter the error message: **'Browser blocks cross domain cookies'** after completing the invite process.\n\n---\n\n## Issue Description\n- **Scenario:**\n - Navigate to Contacts > List view in Salesforce Lightning.\n - Select multiple contacts.\n - Use the \"Invite to Programme\" action to add contacts to a sales programme (e.g., IMEX Las Vegas).\n - Complete the wizard steps: Next > Successfully Created > Finish.\n - Upon finishing, the error appears.\n\n- **Expected Behavior:**\n - All selected contacts should be linked as invitees to the specified sales programme.\n - Individual activity records should be created on each contact reflecting the invitation.\n\n- **Actual Behavior:**\n - The invite process completes but the browser displays an error related to cross-domain cookie blocking.\n\n---\n\n## Root Cause Analysis\n- Modern browsers enforce strict cookie policies to enhance security and privacy.\n- Cross-domain cookies are often blocked unless proper configurations are in place.\n- Thynk.cloud integrates with Salesforce and may use multiple domains or subdomains for authentication and session management.\n- The error indicates that the browser is blocking cookies required for session persistence or data sharing between domains involved in the invite process.\n\n---\n\n## Technical Details\n- The invite flow likely involves:\n - Salesforce Lightning domain (e.g., `thedoylecollection.lightning.force.com`)\n - Thynk.cloud domain or subdomain handling the sales programme logic\n- Cookies set by one domain may not be accessible by the other due to browser SameSite cookie policies.\n- This can interrupt the flow, causing UI errors despite backend success.\n\n---\n\n## Recommended Solutions and Best Practices\n1. **Configure SameSite Cookie Attributes:**\n - Ensure cookies used for authentication and session management are set with `SameSite=None;

Verify if the block associated with the booking has zero rooms. 2. Check if the block dates encompass the guest room arrival and departure dates. 3.

This duplication causes synchronization failures due to conflicting availability and missing status codes. --- ## Symptoms - Duplicate roomblocks created for the same booking in Opera Cloud. - Synchronization errors with messages like \"Block Update Failed - Missing target block status code details from OHIP.\" - Inability to save or update the booking due to no availability. --- ## Root Cause - The synchronization process attempts to create or update multiple roomblocks for the same booking without proper status code mapping. - Missing or incorrect block status codes in OHIP (Opera Hospitality Integration Platform) cause the update to fail. - Lack of availability in Opera Cloud prevents acceptance of additional roomblocks. --- ## Best Practices for Integration - **Ensure Unique Roomblock Creation:** Implement logic in Thynk.cloud to prevent duplicate roomblocks for the same booking. - **Status Code Mapping:** Verify that all block status codes used in Thynk.cloud are correctly mapped to Opera Cloud's OHIP codes. - **Availability Checks:** Before synchronization, confirm availability in Opera Cloud to avoid refusals. - **Error Handling:** Implement robust error handling to capture and report synchronization failures promptly. --- ## Troubleshooting Steps 1. **Identify Duplicate Roomblocks:** Review the booking in Opera Cloud and Thynk.cloud to confirm duplicate roomblocks. 2. **Check Status Codes:** Validate that the block status codes exist and are correctly configured in OHIP. 3. **Review Synchronization Logs:** Analyze logs for errors related to block updates and missing status codes. 4. **Coordinate with Opera Cloud Support:** If necessary, engage Opera Cloud support to verify block status code configurations. 5. **Correct Data in Thynk.cloud:** Adjust booking or roomblock data to remove duplicates and align status codes. 6. **Resynchronize Booking:** Attempt synchronization again after corrections. --- ## Salesforce-Specific Considerations - Use Salesforce Lightning record links to quickly access affected bookings (e.g., MYCE Quote records). - Leverage Salesforce Chatter or Slack integrations for real-time communication between support and sales teams. - Maintain clear communication with stakeholders via email or Salesforce cases. --- ## Example Scenario A booking for Mercure Antwerp City South was synchronized from Thynk.cloud to Opera Cloud, resulting in two roomblocks: one LOS and one TEN. Due to no availability and missing OHIP status codes, the synchronization failed with the error \"Block Update Failed - Missing target block status code details from OHIP.\" The resolution involved identifying the duplicate blocks, correcting the status codes, and resynchronizing after confirming availability. --- ## Additional Resources - Thynk.cloud Integration Guide with Opera Cloud - OHIP Status Code Configuration Documentation - Salesforce MYCE Quote Object Reference --- ## Summary Double roomblock creation during synchronization between Thynk.cloud and Opera Cloud can cause update failures due to missing or incorrect block status codes and availability conflicts.

The error message: ``` Upsert failed. INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST, Cancellation Policy: bad value for restricted picklist field: 18.00: [thn__Cancellation_Policy__c] ``` occurs when attempting to change the status to \"received\" after selecting a property post-creation. --- ## Root Cause - The `thn__Cancellation_Policy__c` field is a restricted picklist in Salesforce. - The value `18.00` is not a valid option in the picklist values configured for this field. - When a property is selected after the initial creation (where properties were not chosen), the system attempts to upsert the record with an invalid picklist value. --- ## Impact - Sales managers receive an error preventing them from completing the status update. - The Multi-Property Negotiated Rate record cannot be saved or updated successfully. --- ## Resolution Steps 1. **Verify Picklist Values:** - Navigate to Salesforce Setup > Object Manager > Multi-Property Negotiated Rate (thn__Multi_Property_Negotiated_Rate__c) > Fields & Relationships. - Locate the `thn__Cancellation_Policy__c` field. - Review the picklist values and confirm if `18.00` or equivalent is included. 2. **Update Picklist Values:** - If `18.00` is a valid business value, add it to the picklist values. - If not, correct the source of the value to use an existing valid picklist option. 3. **Data Validation:** - Check existing records for invalid values in `thn__Cancellation_Policy__c`. - Cleanse data to conform to allowed picklist values. 4. **Process Adjustment:** - Ensure that when properties are added after initial creation, the cancellation policy value is set or mapped correctly. 5. **Testing:** - Reproduce the scenario after changes. - Confirm that status updates complete without errors. --- ## Best Practices - **Use Restricted Picklists Carefully:** Ensure all possible values used by integrations or user inputs are included in the picklist. - **Data Integrity Checks:** Implement validation rules or triggers to prevent invalid picklist values. - **Integration Mapping:** When integrating Thynk.cloud with Salesforce, map external values to Salesforce picklist values explicitly. - **User Training:** Educate users on valid picklist options to avoid manual entry errors. --- ## Troubleshooting Tips - Check Salesforce debug logs for detailed error messages. - Review API payloads sent from Thynk.cloud to Salesforce for invalid picklist values. -

This error typically indicates an unexpected issue during the OAuth authentication process. --- ## Issue Description Users may experience a failure to authenticate Salesforce within Gmail, receiving the error message: ``` OAUTH_APPROVAL_ERROR_GENERIC: An unexpected error has occurred during authentication. ``` This can prevent synchronization between Gmail and Salesforce, impacting productivity. --- ## Common Causes - **Browser Pop-up Blockers:** OAuth authentication often requires pop-up windows for user consent. If pop-ups are blocked, the authentication flow can fail. - **Browser Extensions or Security Settings:** Some extensions or strict security settings may interfere with OAuth flows. - **Salesforce Connected App Configuration:** Misconfigured OAuth scopes or callback URLs in Salesforce can cause authentication errors. - **Expired or Revoked OAuth Tokens:** Tokens may expire or be revoked, requiring re-authentication. --- ## Troubleshooting Steps ### 1. Verify Pop-up Blocker Settings - **Browser Settings:** - Ensure that pop-ups are allowed for Gmail and Salesforce domains. - In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects, and add exceptions. - **Gmail Settings:** - Gmail itself does not provide pop-up blocker settings; rely on browser settings. ### 2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies - Clear cache and cookies to remove any corrupted session data that might interfere with OAuth. ### 3. Disable Conflicting Browser Extensions - Temporarily disable extensions that block pop-ups, ads, or scripts. ### 4. Check Salesforce Connected App Configuration - Confirm that the OAuth scopes include required permissions (e.g., `full`, `refresh_token`, `openid`). - Verify the callback URL matches the URL used by the Thynk.cloud connector. ### 5. Re-authenticate the Salesforce Connector - Remove existing OAuth tokens or disconnect the connector. - Initiate a fresh login to trigger a new OAuth flow. ### 6. Review User Permissions - Ensure the Salesforce user has API access and permissions to use connected apps. --- ## Best Practices for Integration - Use supported browsers with updated versions. - Regularly review and update OAuth connected app settings in Salesforce. - Educate users on allowing pop-ups for authentication flows. - Monitor OAuth token expiration and refresh tokens proactively. --- ## Additional Resources - [Salesforce Connected Apps Documentation](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_connected_apps.htm) - [Thynk.cloud Salesforce Integration Guide](https://thynk.cloud/docs/salesforce-integration) --- ## Summary The `OAUTH_APPROVAL_ERROR_GENERIC` error during Salesforce login from Gmail via Thynk.cloud is commonly caused by blocked pop-ups or misconfigured OAuth settings.

It provides insights into the problem, potential solutions, and best practices for managing account statuses effectively.\n\n## Issue Summary\n- **Issue ID**: THSIN-2589\n- **Description**: Inactive accounts can still be linked to new bookings or inquiries despite being marked as inactive in the system.\n- **Example Account**: VICE MEDIA GROUP (Status: Inactive)\n\n## Problem Description\nSales managers at Barriere aim to maintain a clean database by utilizing the `thn_Status__c` field for accounts and the `thn_Is_Active__c` field for contacts. However, inactive records still appear in search results, allowing them to be linked to new inquiries and bookings. This undermines the integrity of the data management process.\n\n## Proposed Solution\nTo resolve this issue, it is recommended to implement filtering mechanisms in the search functionality to exclude inactive records.

It provides insights into the problem, potential solutions, and best practices for managing account statuses effectively. ## Issue Summary - **Issue ID**: THSIN-2589 - **Description**: Inactive accounts can still be linked to new bookings or inquiries despite being marked as inactive in the system. - **Example Account**: VICE MEDIA GROUP (Status: Inactive) ## Problem Description Sales managers at Barriere aim to maintain a clean database by utilizing the `thn_Status__c` field for accounts and the `thn_Is_Active__c` field for contacts. However, inactive records still appear in search results, allowing them to be linked to new inquiries and bookings. This undermines the integrity of the data management process. ## Proposed Solution To resolve this issue, it is recommended to implement filtering mechanisms in the search functionality to exclude inactive records. This can be achieved through: - **Custom Search Filters**: Modify the search queries to include conditions that check the `thn_Status__c` and `thn_Is_Active__c` fields. - **User Interface Adjustments**: Update the UI to reflect only active accounts and contacts in the search results. ## Best Practices - Regularly audit and clean the database to ensure that inactive records are appropriately flagged and managed. - Train sales managers on the importance of maintaining accurate account statuses and the implications of linking inactive records. - Implement automated processes to flag or archive inactive accounts after a certain period. ## Salesforce-Specific Configurations - **Field Configuration**: Ensure that the `thn_Status__c` and `thn_Is_Active__c` fields are correctly configured in Salesforce to reflect the current status of accounts and contacts. - **Search Customization**: Utilize Salesforce's search customization features to enhance the filtering of inactive records. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Inactive Records Still Appearing**: If inactive records continue to show up, verify that the search filters are correctly applied and that the fields are populated accurately. - **User Permissions**: Ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to view and manage account statuses. ## API Usage and Development Patterns - When developing integrations or custom applications, ensure that API calls respect the active status of accounts and contacts. Use the appropriate filters in API queries to exclude inactive records. ## Conclusion By implementing the recommended filtering solutions and adhering to best practices, organizations can maintain a cleaner database and prevent inactive accounts from being linked to new bookings or inquiries.

Users have reported that after manually editing the Cutoff Date, it reverts or changes again due to automated processes. ## Root Cause Analysis - The Thynk interface acts as an integration layer that synchronizes booking data between Salesforce and other enterprise systems. - The Booking History log shows that the Interface Thynk user performs multiple updates to the Cutoff Date, often overriding manual user changes. - This behavior is typically caused by automated synchronization rules or business logic within Thynk that enforce cutoff date consistency based on external system data or predefined criteria. ## Technical Explanation - **Integration Pattern:** Thynk uses event-driven or scheduled synchronization jobs to update booking records. - **Cutoff Date Updates:** When external systems send booking updates, Thynk processes these and updates the Cutoff Date accordingly. - **Conflict with Manual Edits:** Manual user edits in Salesforce can be overwritten if the integration logic does not account for user changes or lacks conflict resolution mechanisms. ## Best Practices to Manage Cutoff Date Updates - **Implement Change Detection:** Configure Thynk to detect manual edits and prevent automatic overwrites unless necessary. - **Use Flags or Status Fields:** Introduce a flag indicating manual override to bypass automated updates. - **Review Synchronization Rules:** Adjust business logic in Thynk to respect manual changes or notify users before overwriting. - **Audit Logs:** Utilize Booking History logs to monitor update patterns and identify problematic synchronization cycles. ## Salesforce-Specific Recommendations - Customize validation rules or triggers to alert users when the Cutoff Date is about to be overwritten. - Use Salesforce Flow or Apex to integrate with Thynk APIs for more granular control over updates. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - Verify if multiple systems are sending conflicting updates. - Check Thynk interface logs for update frequency and triggers. - Confirm if recent configuration changes in Thynk or Salesforce affect synchronization behavior. ## Summary The auto-updating of the Booking Cutoff Date by the Thynk interface is due to synchronization logic designed to keep booking data consistent across systems.

This results in inflated room availability numbers, causing discrepancies such as a hotel with 229 actual rooms showing 478 rooms available. ## Problem Description - **Affected Component:** GCH Availability module - **Issue:** Pseudo rooms are counted towards total room availability - **Impact:** Availability data is inaccurate across most hotels - **Example:** Stuttgart and Chemnitz hotels show doubled room counts - **Cause:** Regression introduced after the latest Thynk.cloud platform upgrade ## Root Cause Analysis - The recent platform upgrade modified the room counting logic. - Pseudo rooms, which are placeholders or non-physical rooms used for grouping or other purposes, are no longer excluded from availability calculations. ## Recommended Solution 1. **Identify Pseudo Rooms:** - Use room metadata or flags that distinguish pseudo rooms from actual rooms. 2. **Update Availability Calculation Logic:** - Modify the query or algorithm to exclude pseudo rooms from the total room count. 3. **Regression Testing:** - Validate availability counts against known hotel room inventories. - Test across multiple hotels to ensure consistency. 4. **Deploy Fix:** - Roll out the corrected logic in a controlled release. ## Implementation Guide - **Salesforce Integration:** - If availability data is synced with Salesforce, ensure that the filtering logic is applied before data transmission. - Update Apex classes or batch jobs responsible for availability calculations. - **Thynk.cloud Platform:** - Review and adjust any automation workflows or business rules that aggregate room data. - Use platform debugging tools to trace room count calculations. ## Best Practices - Maintain clear metadata definitions for pseudo rooms. - Implement unit tests to catch similar regressions early. - Document changes in release notes for transparency. ## Troubleshooting - If availability still appears inflated: - Verify that pseudo room flags are correctly set. - Check for caching issues that might serve stale data. - Review recent deployment logs for errors. ## Additional Resources - Thynk.cloud Platform Upgrade Documentation -
