Adding Glance Session Details to a Salesforce Event Object

Glance for Salesforce automatically logs sessions as Events related to the object you start or join the session from. Session details are captured in Custom fields on the Event object.

The event is created immediately upon using Glance with some initial data. The remaining session details are added after the next scheduled synchronization.

Synchronization requires setting a Default Glance Admin in Glance Company Settings. The user selected must be an Admin for your company's Glance group.
