Registration

Registration is a form that lets a new user register in a Salesforce Community and become a Member of a Program.

Who It's For

Registration is for loyalty admins who want to enable external visitors to simultaneously register as a new User in a Salesforce Communities-based loyalty portal and become a Member of a Program.

How It Works

Upon successful submission, a new Community User is created and linked with a new Individual Member. The new Member's login credentials is managed by Salesforce via this User. New Members also receive a welcome e-mail, which you can customize to include your own company branding and Program-specific details.

You can choose between one-step and two-step registration. In one-step registration, the registering Member creates a password directly on the form. In two-step registration, password creation occurs during the email verification process.

You can also include additional Member fields to request any further information you may need from new Members.

Members who are already registered will use the standard Salesforce login functionality included in your Community to log in and engage with their Program(s).

Setting up Your Registration Page

To get started, let's first create a page for your Registration component.

In Salesforce Setup, search for and select All Communities. Enter to the Builder for your Community.

In Builder, click on Home to open the page menu and select New Page.

Choose Standard Page.

Choose 1 full-width column and click Next.

Enter a name and URL for the Fielo Registration page and click Create.

With your new page created, click the next to the name of your page and set Page Access to Public.

Optionally, you can also opt to Override the default theme layout for this page and choose the Theme Layout called Login. This way, default Salesforce components not relevant to Registration (such as User Profile Menu, Navigation Menu, and Global Search Box) will not be shown.

You can alter the background image, color palette, etc. of all the theme layouts in your Community by selecting . See Salesforce's Theme Your Community doc for more details.

Adding the Registration Component

Now, it's time to place the Fielo - Registration component on your registration page. Let's jump back into the Builder for your Community from the All Communities page.

Navigate to your registration page.

On your registration page, click and drag and drop Fielo - Registration onto your content area.

Properties

With the component on your page, you can now configure Registration to meet your loyalty portal's specific needs.

Registration can be configured via the following properties:

• Title: Enter a title to be displayed at the top of the form.
• Program: Choose the Program that new Members will join.
• [Optional] Extra Fields: Enter the API names of any additional Member fields would like to include in the form, separated by commas.
• Include Password Field: Tick this box if you would like new users to create a password on the form. Otherwise, the new user will create a password after verifying their e-mail address.
  • Two-Step Registration URL: If Include Password Field is unticked , enter the URL that the Member will be directed to for password creation. By default, the Member will be directed to your Community's Change Password page.
• Successful Registration URL: Enter the URL new Members will be directed to once they successfully register. If left blank, the Member will be directed to your Community Home page.
