Setup Instructions

Vertical view of an Opportunity with a connected Accord.
Add the Accord Lightning Web Component to your Opportunity page layout
-
Go to an Opportunity
-
Click "edit page" using the menu in the top right
-
Drag and drop the Accord Lightning Web Component where you'd like it to live on the page
Last step: add your Accord workspace name to the Accord Lightning Web Component configuration sidebar.
Your workspace name is the subdomain of your workspace ULR (ie, the string of text between http:// and .inaccord.com in your workspace domain.
For example, the workspace name in the URL http://test-name77.inaccord.com is test-name77.
Do not enter: "sandbox", "inaccord.com", or "https://".
(Optional) Trusted URL
Some Salesforce instances have added security and to use the Accord Lightening component you will need to add your Accord workspace URL as a Trusted URL (see Salesforce documentation).
Your Accord URL is the main URL for your Accord workspace, for example: http://test-name77.inaccord.com
To add a Trusted URL, navigated to Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Trusted URL, and then select Trusted URL. You do not need to add a port.
Be sure to select the three CSP directives (see below)
(Optional) Add the Accord Web Component to your custom objects
You can also add the Accord Lightning Web Component to pages displaying custom objects (as long as the custom object has an Opportunity relationship). This will display the Accord tied to the Opportunity on the custom object's name.
To do so, the Opportunity Id API Name property must be configured to point to the field that contains the Opportunity relationship. (See screenshots below)
In this example, the Opportunity Relationship's field name is inaccord__Opportunity__c.
For Salesforce users to view the data presented in the lightning component, they must have an Accord license, and have logged into Accord from their browser at lease once.
