Mark unmapped fields as required if user input is necessary

Upgrade instructions
If you are new to the Salesforce integration, you can follow the standard instructions for installation. However, if you are upgrading from a previous version, these steps may vary depending on your version, how you have set up your Salesforce instance, and how you use the Tackle - Salesforce integration. Follow these steps as indicated.
Step 1: Confirm compatibility
Version 1.30 of the Tackle - Salesforce integration is only compatible with Salesforce orgs that are on Salesforce version Summer '23.
To determine if your org is compatible with version 1.30:
In Salesforce, go to Setup> Company information . Under Organization Detail, take note of the number next to Instance (a five character ID in the format NA###).
Visit Salesforce’s status page🔗, and search for your instance in the search box.
Click the Maintenance tab and take note of when the Summer '23 Major Release will take place for your instance. You can install version 1.30 of the Tackle - Salesforce integration after your instance is updated with that release.
Step 2: Download and install
Download and install the 1.30 version of the package.
Step 3: Update permission sets
Even if you have previously done this, use these new instructions to configure permission sets.
Step 4: Reconnect to Tackle (only required for upgrade from 1.27 or earlier, and only if using inbound co-sell)
You need to reconnect to Tackle and and reauthorize the Tackle App. Tackle Integration Manager permissions are required to do this.
In the Tackle Setup Assistant, under System Connections, click Edit.
Click Disconnect.
In the Tackle - Salesforce Integration page🔗, (Integrations > Configure for the Salesforce integration). Copy and paste the Client ID and Secret you see there, from Tackle into Salesforce. Click Connect.
When the connection is successful, click Next.
Revoke the old access token and then click Authorize to grant Tackle access to your Salesforce instance. In the pop-up, click Allow. Click Finish. Now Salesforce and Tackle are connected.
Step 5: Update Flows and Quick Actions
The 1.30 version of the package includes two new flows and one new sub-flow. These flows all support the new field-mapping functionality.
Create New Tackle Co-Sell V3
Create New Tackle Offer V3
Create Tackle Offer SubFlow
New flows for version 1.30 will be automatically set to active on installation. Any flows from previous versions of the Tackle - Salesforce integration do not support the new field-mapper functionality. You may want to delete these to avoid confusion.
Depending on how you are using Quick Action buttons, finish the upgrade:
You are already using the packaged Quick Action buttons on your opportunity page layouts: You have completed the upgrade. You can now map data directly in Salesforce.
You have previously created your own Quick Action buttons and custom flows: You can continue to use them but you won't be able to use the new data mapper. If you are ready to transition to the new data mapper, point your Quick Action buttons to the new flows like this:
Custom Quick Action button for offers → Create New Tackle Offer V3
Custom Quick Action button for co-sell → Create New Tackle Co-Sell V3
