FAQs
Does Veelo alert me when my prospect views my email?
Yes, you’ll receive a notification by email and in the notifications section of the Veelo app in the CRM.
Does Veelo capture forward activity of my audience?
It depends on how your prospect forwards the content you shared.
Every file you share with a prospect has a “Send to a Colleague” button in the top right corner.
If your prospect forwards the file using that button, you will receive a notification that your prospect has forwarded the content, along with the email address of the person they forwarded the content to.
Note that the prospect forwarding feature is available only for files, and doesn’t work for training content at this time.
However, if your prospect forwards the content using their email client, you will not receive any additional information. If you are interested in requiring users to enter their information before they access the content you’ve shared with them, please contact us.
What types of content can I share?
You can share all content types in Veelo.
Does my activity record in Salesforce? How does this work?
Yes, the activity is recorded in Salesforce in the following order of priority:
- First, the Opportunity if it has an email associated with the contact.
- If no Opportunity exists, then the activity is recorded in the Contact record.
- If no Contact record exists, then the activity is recorded in the Lead record.
What happens if I share multiple emails to the same recipient?
If you share multiple emails, Veelo records one sharing activity. This helps keep your reporting clean on the idea the Seller is performing only one action.
Can I limit downloads?
No, not at this time.
Can I limit how or if my audience forwards my email?
