In today’s healthcare technology world, it’s just as important to have efficient internal processes as it is to come up with new ideas from outside the company. One of the top health data technology companies, known for providing secure and seamless data connectivity throughout the healthcare ecosystem, had trouble with its internal Salesforce workflows.

Our client had a lot of trouble with Opportunity renewals, which are an important part of their sales process. A third-party app that had been installed before caused problems with existing automation, which led to broken cloning of related Opportunity objects, triggers that didn’t work, fragmented automation, and limited visibility into Opportunity lifecycles. This caused too much manual work, a higher chance of mistakes, and less reliable systems.

Peeklogic came up with a strong, scalable solution to these problems. It automated the Opportunity renewal process, made it more reliable, and made the whole experience better for users.

The Problems

The client’s Salesforce Opportunity renewal process had a lot of problems:

  • Broken or inconsistent cloning of Opportunity objects: Related items, such as Opportunity Line Items, were not duplicated consistently, creating gaps in sales records.

  • Malfunctioning triggers: Automation around renewal logic failed frequently, slowing down workflows.

  • Fragmented automation: Flows and Apex triggers, especially the SCR_OPP_Close_Won flow, were not synchronized, causing confusion and errors.

  • Limited visibility: Sales teams and managers could not see a clear Opportunity lifecycle, making tracking and reporting difficult.

  • Manual effort and risk of data errors: Rigid, non-scalable processes required staff to perform repetitive manual tasks, increasing the likelihood of mistakes.

Manual work and the chance of making mistakes: Staff had to do the same tasks over and over again because of rigid, non-scalable processes, which made mistakes more likely.

The Solution

Peeklogic delivered a custom, scalable solution that fully automated Opportunity renewals while maintaining flexibility for future growth. Key elements included:

1. Custom Trigger Architecture

  • Developed a flexible OppTriggerHelper Apex class to handle cloning logic for Opportunities.

  • Enabled dynamic cloning of related objects such as OpportunityLineItems and ContentDocumentLinks using custom metadata (Clon_Trigger_Settings__c).

  • Used Field Sets to determine which fields to clone, minimizing hard-coded dependencies and increasing flexibility.

2. Renewal Chain Management

  • Created logic to copy and transfer relevant fields from the parent Opportunity to the new one.

  • Automatically linked renewal Opportunities via a custom Following_Renewal__c field, creating a traceable chain for easy tracking.

3. Stability & Data Integrity

  • Introduced a post-insert controller to update fields and relationships after Opportunity creation.

  • Wrapped all DML operations in try-catch error handling, ensuring deployments were reliable and preventing failures

4. System Integration & Testing

  • Seamlessly integrated the new logic into the existing Salesforce org.

  • Managed deployment through Change Sets and conducted comprehensive QA testing to ensure smooth collaboration with existing systems.

5. Additional Enhancements

  • Flow & Validation Improvements: Updated Opportunity-related flows and validation rules to support new renewal logic.
  • User-Friendly Improvements: Displayed errors in clear, actionable formats to enhance user experience.
  • Ownership Logic: Automated reassignment of Opportunity owners during renewals.
  • Duplicate Prevention: Optimized logic to prevent duplicate Opportunities and related products.
  • Documentation: Provided instructional videos and detailed guides for editing custom settings.
