Admin ability to reschedule data syncs between Salesforce and Finalize
The installed or upgrade of a package in Salesforce, certain operations—such as Apex jobs, triggers, and flows—are executed not by a real user, but by an internal, system-level user. This user is often informally called a “ghost user,” and may appear in Salesforce logs without a Username or Full Name. Some customers require visibility into which user is executing these background jobs.
The “Reschedule” button has been added to the Settings page to support this feature. This button allows the currently logged-in user to reschedule the Finalize Sync jobs. It’s recommended that the user have appropriate permissions to run background jobs.
Salesforce Finalize Version 2.21
-
Adobe Acrobat Sign
- Ability to send an approved agreement out for signature via Adobe Acrobat Sign -
Visibility into DocuSign Bundled Agreements
- Ability to easily identify bundled agreements, both from the Agreements Overview page and within an individual agreement’s Details Page
• • Mapping of Single-Select Questions
- Ability to map Single Select questions (both Token & Agreement Detail Questions) to a Salesforce List field when configuring a template and take advantage of Dynamic Language.
Step 1: Ensure that the options in the Single-Select field correspond to the values in the custom field List in Salesforce.
Custom field in Salesforce Opportunity record (Business_Unit__c)
Note: Only single Picklist field type is supported. Picklist (Multi-Select) is not supported
Step 2: Map the LinkSquares Input Type (Single Question) to the Salesforce Field Path (List field)
In Salesforce Finalize / Template Configuration choose template and map the Single Selection question to the Salesforce custom field (List)
Note: Each Single Select Option in the template question must be mapped to the Salesforce List value and Save
Note: Default Finalize Answer for Unmapped Options is optional
If the record does not contain a value, the user has the option of adding a value.
In this example, the Opportunity, Business Unit has a value of ‘North’ and that value is selected.
Salesforce Finalize Version 2.19
This release allows enabling or disabling the pen experience entirely. The Pen Tool feature has also been updated to restrict the ability to assign or transfer the Pen to only Finalize Admins. This change ensures better control and transparency over who is responsible for editing or reviewing an agreement.
Key Updates:
- Agreement Pen: Enable or Disable the Pen
- Admin-Only Control: With the new setting “Only admins can assign or transfer the Pen,” only Finalize Admins can assign or transfer the Pen. Drafter users can view the current Pen status but cannot modify it.
This update also allows users to track who currently has control over editing or reviewing the agreement, providing greater visibility into the process.
Important Notes:
- By default, the Pen Tool is now automatically disabled in version 2.19. If you'd like to use the feature, it will need to be enabled manually.
Salesforce Finalize Version 2.17
- Simplified column layout in the Agreement List component with additional fields for reporting:
-
- Created By, Owner Name, Last Modified By and Agreement Owner
- Agreement URL is now hyperlinked
- Template Name
- Agreement Owner data is now recorded on the Finalize Agreement object and can be used for Salesforce reporting.

Ingest quote documents generated by Salesforce CPQ right into Finalize: Now, when creating an agreement off of 3rd Party Paper, users have the option to pick from the primary quote’s content documents as the Finalize Agreement. Note: this release only supports Salesforce CPQ
-
Upload larger files without interruption: With increased support for file size, you can now upload larger files to Salesforce matching the experience currently available in Finalize.
-
Pen Status is now recorded to the Salesforce object for native reporting: Pen Data is now recorded on the Finalize Agreements Object as its own field and can be leveraged in native Salesforce reports for enhanced visibility.
-
Revert an agreement when in Fully Signed status: Admins can now revert agreements back to any status other than Paused or Request Pending right from Salesforce.
-
Find Templates easier by filtering on Category and Agreement Type: Quickly find the template you need when creating new agreements by filtering options by Category and Agreement Type. No need to know the exact template name.
The CPQ tab Configuration: The CPQ tab only works when a Finalize Intake Template is configured within the Opportunity object. When you select an Opportunity in CPQ, the tab appears, allowing you to select the quote marked as “primary” directly. This eliminates the need to download and upload the document.
