With the latest release of Non-Profit Soapbox, we handed our Salesforce integrations a map and, lo and behold, it turns out that Soapbox has a fine sense of direction and distance!
For any object in Salesforce with valid U.S address fields, you can now add a geo search to a Salesforce Search form. This allows visitors to drop in a zip code and a distance in miles or kilometers, click search, and see what locations in your Salesforce data fall within that geographic radius. The results can display an inset map of that location and tell the visitor how far from the given zip code the location falls.
Why would you care to do this? For as many reasons as there are points on a map, my intrepid explorer! As inspiration for this little journey, think store locator tool, or service location finder, or a tool for finding member organizations that just passed Geography class, or a search tool for funded projects across the country that Dora the Explorer would be proud of.
Interested in giving your website a good sense of direction when it comes to your Salesforce data? Talk to us. We're happy to serve as your Lewis and Clark for exploring a whole new world of possibility.
