Architecture & data flow

How ForceFolks built it

Every ForceFolks engagement runs the same architectural lens — ingest, ground, orchestrate, and write back to systems of record.

  1. Inbound leads are captured via web forms and graded in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
  2. Qualified prospects route to regional accounts in Sales Cloud via structured assignment rules.
  3. Closed opportunities trigger Workday PSA project templates via secure webhook.
  4. Post-onboarding, clients use Service Cloud portals with Omni-Channel ticket routing.
  5. Interactions, surveys, and milestones trigger automated lifecycle marketing tracks.
  6. Leadership monitors performance through centralized Salesforce dashboards and pipeline reports.
