Screen recording for Salesforce Service Cloud

Request a screen recording from a Salesforce case in one click. The recording comes back on the Case automatically. Screendesk for Salesforce is in early access.

How to request a screen recording from a Salesforce case

Use a recording request when a customer’s case needs visual evidence, such as a failing export or an unexpected error.

  1. Install and connect once

    Screendesk for Salesforce installs as a Salesforce package and adds a Screendesk component to the Case page in Service Cloud (Lightning). An admin connects the org to a Screendesk workspace from the component on a Case, with Salesforce’s own sign-in and approval. Agents get access through Salesforce permission sets.

  2. Request the customer’s recording

    On a Case, click Request a recording. One click makes a link for the customer, and you paste it into your reply. Record on lets you choose where they record: on your own website, with console and network logs when Screendesk’s website capture is set up, or on Screendesk’s hosted recorder. The customer opens the link and records in the browser, with no account and nothing to install.

  3. Review the recording on the Case

    The recording comes back on the Case automatically, as a Screendesk Recording record linked to the Case, so you can report on it in Salesforce. Your workspace chooses what else appears: a post on the Case feed (team only or visible to the customer), a private case comment, or the record alone.

Salesforce remains the system of record. Screendesk for Salesforce is in early access: contact our team to get it for your org. Each call from Salesforce to Screendesk is signed per org, agents are matched by their Salesforce email to a member of your Screendesk workspace, and you can disconnect the org at any time. Console and network logs need Screendesk’s website capture on your site.

Before you add Screendesk to Salesforce

How does it install and connect?

Screendesk for Salesforce installs as a Salesforce package. It adds a Screendesk component to the Case page in Service Cloud (Lightning). An admin connects the org to a Screendesk workspace from the component on a Case, with Salesforce’s own sign-in and approval. Agents get access through Salesforce permission sets.

What does Screendesk add to the Case?

Each recording becomes a Screendesk Recording record linked to the Case, so you can report on recordings in Salesforce. Your workspace chooses what else appears on the Case: a post on the Case feed (team only or visible to the customer), a private case comment, or the record alone. A recorded video call that was started from the Case comes back on it too.

Does the customer need an account or an app?

No. The customer opens the link and records in the browser. There is no account to create and nothing to install.

How is the connection secured?

Each call from Salesforce to Screendesk is signed per org. Agents are matched by their Salesforce email to a member of your Screendesk workspace, access is granted through Salesforce permission sets, and you can disconnect the org at any time. See security and the privacy policy.

How do I get it?

Screendesk for Salesforce is in early access and is not listed on AppExchange yet. Use the contact form or book a demo to request early access for your org.

Recording requests

It all starts with a recording request. Request a screen recording from a Salesforce case.

Request early access

From a case

Click Request a recording in the Screendesk component on the Case. One click makes the link, and you paste it into your reply.

Back on the Case

When the customer records, the recording is linked to the Case as a Screendesk Recording record. Your workspace chooses whether it also posts on the Case feed.

On this case

The component lists the Case’s requests and recordings with their state: Waiting for customer, Received, Recorded by your team or Video call.

Platform
