Veloxy Platform Help

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. What's your primary goal?

   • A) Set up Veloxy for a field sales team
   • B) Fix an issue (email sync, geolocation, mobile app)
   • C) Compare Veloxy to alternatives (Scratchpad, Weflow, Badger Maps)
   • D) Configure email tracking or drip campaigns (Veloxy Lite)
   • E) Build reports or dashboards

2. What Salesforce edition are you on?

   • A) Professional
   • B) Enterprise
   • C) Unlimited / Performance
   • D) Not sure

3. How does your team work?

   • A) Field/outside sales — in-person meetings, driving between prospects
   • B) Inside sales — desk-based, phone/video calls
   • C) Hybrid — mix of field and inside

Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

Problem domain	Route to
CRM comparison or switching CRMs	/sales-crm-selection {user's question}
General email tracking strategy	/sales-email-tracking {user's question}
Revenue forecasting methodology	/sales-forecast {user's question}
Meeting recording or conversation intelligence	/sales-note-taker {user's question}
Salesforce data quality or deduplication	/sales-data-hygiene {user's question}
Connecting Veloxy to other tools via Zapier/webhooks	/sales-integration {user's question}

When routing to another skill, provide the exact command: "This is a {problem domain} question — run: /sales-{skill} {user's original question}"

Otherwise, answer directly below.

Step 3 — Veloxy platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — modules, pricing, integrations, geolocation, email tracking, mobile app.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.

Field sales setup priorities:

1. Connect Salesforce — verify edition compatibility (PE/EE/UE/PP/FE/DE all supported)
2. Set up email sync — Gmail or Outlook, verify bidirectional sync is working
3. Configure geolocation — set up route optimization, test nearby lead discovery
4. Deploy mobile app — install on reps' devices, test lead/contact access
5. Enable email tracking — if using Veloxy Lite, set up templates and drip campaigns

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.

Gotchas

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.

• No public API documentation. Veloxy lists an API on AppExchange but has no published developer docs. If you need programmatic access, contact [e-mail] directly.
• Email logging is limited to primary contacts. Only emails with contacts already in your CRM get logged — if a prospect isn't in Salesforce yet, their emails won't sync automatically. Create the contact first.
• Steep learning curve reported. Multiple reviewers note they don't use all features. Start with email sync + geolocation, then layer in predictive intelligence and drip campaigns.
• Veloxy Lite is a separate product. Veloxy (field sales, $25/mo) and Veloxy Lite (email-focused, $35/mo) are different products with different pricing. Make sure you're buying the right one.
• Gmail/Outlook sending limits still apply. Veloxy sends from your real inbox — Gmail caps at 2,000/day, Outlook at 300/day for individual accounts. Drip campaigns count against these limits.
• Acquired by Core Group ($18.7M). Ownership change may affect roadmap, pricing, or support. Monitor for changes.

Examples

Example 1: Setting up Veloxy for a field sales team

User says: "I manage 8 outside reps selling industrial equipment. They use Salesforce but hate the mobile app. Would Veloxy help?" Skill does:

1. Reads platform guide — confirms Veloxy is built for exactly this: field reps on Salesforce
2. Highlights geolocation intelligence for route optimization between prospect sites
3. Notes mobile app (iOS/Android) provides Salesforce data access without the native Salesforce mobile experience
4. Recommends starting with Basic ($25/user/mo) and adding Lite ($35/user/mo) only if reps need drip campaigns
5. Warns about steep learning curve — suggests phased rollout starting with email sync + maps Result: Clear recommendation with rollout strategy and cost estimate.

Example 2: Email tracking not working

User says: "Veloxy stopped sending my scheduled emails last week. Support just keeps emailing me back and forth." Skill does:

1. Checks common causes: Gmail/Outlook auth token expired, sending limit hit, template issues
2. Suggests re-authenticating email connection in Veloxy settings
3. Recommends testing with a manual send (no template) to isolate whether it's a template or connection issue
4. Notes the known "app glitches when sending without template" issue — if that's the case, create a minimal template as a workaround
5. Suggests escalating via phone support (510-402-6913) if email support isn't resolving it Result: Structured debugging checklist with escalation path.

Example 3: Comparing Veloxy to Scratchpad

User says: "My team is on Salesforce Enterprise. Should we use Veloxy or Scratchpad?" Skill does:

1. Clarifies: Veloxy = field/outside sales (geolocation, route planning, mobile); Scratchpad = inside sales (pipeline views, AI field updates, call recording with Gong)
2. If the team is mostly in the field → Veloxy for geolocation and mobile CRM
3. If the team is desk-based → Scratchpad for pipeline management and CRM hygiene
4. If hybrid → could use both, but notes cost ($25/user/mo Veloxy + $29-49/user/mo Scratchpad)
5. Notes Veloxy has no conversation intelligence; Scratchpad integrates with Gong for CI Result: Clear decision framework based on team's work style.

Troubleshooting

Veloxy emails stopped sending

Symptom: Scheduled emails or drip campaigns stop going out, no error message in the app Cause: Gmail/Outlook OAuth token expired, inbox sending limit reached, or account-level block Solution: Re-authenticate your email connection in Veloxy settings. Check your Gmail/Outlook sent folder to verify whether emails are actually leaving. If using drip campaigns, check if you hit Gmail's 2,000/day or Outlook's 300/day limit. If re-auth doesn't fix it, contact support at 510-402-6913 (phone tends to resolve faster than email).

Mobile app can't update lead status

Symptom: Tapping to change a lead's status in the Veloxy mobile app does nothing or the app crashes Cause: Known app stability issue reported by users. May be related to Salesforce field-level security or page layout restrictions. Solution: Verify your Salesforce profile has write access to the Lead Status field. Try force-closing and reopening the app. If it persists, update to the latest app version and clear the app cache. As a workaround, update the status via Salesforce's mobile app or desktop.

Geolocation not showing nearby leads

Symptom: The map view shows no leads or contacts near your current location Cause: Location permissions not granted, or Salesforce address fields are empty/malformed Solution: Verify Veloxy has location permissions (Settings > Privacy > Location Services on iOS). Check that your Salesforce leads/contacts have valid address data in the standard Mailing/Billing Address fields. Veloxy geocodes from Salesforce address fields — if those are empty, nothing will appear on the map.
