Salesforce does this via CRM automation features, which automate everyday tasks. These features are available in the Sales Cloud and include lead scoring and sales scripts.

Automations also include the ability to set up sales scripts and email templates. These are useful for closing deals more effectively because they help you follow a pre-written script that covers all the points necessary to seal the deal. You can also use them to save time by sending out pre-written emails using templates instead of typing out every message from scratch.

2. Now add the button or link to your Case Page Layout. Go to Setup, Object Manager, Case, Case Page Layouts, then select Case Layout.

Then add and sort products as needed to keep your quotes up to date. And if you need an easy way to provide quotes to your customers: create PDFs from a standard template or your company’s design. Email them to your customers, then delete any that you no longer need.
