Note: You can not roll back the installed package version of Salesforce because it may cause data loss. We highly recommend testing it well on the sandbox before upgrading to production. For more details, click here.

Frequently Asked Questions before the upgrade

1. Will the upgrade affect our existing flow? What if the new messenger doesn’t work? What if I find issues in the new admin panel/messenger?
   Answer:
   • Your existing flows will not be impacted.
   • There is no loss or change in data during the package upgrade.
   • The old experience will be available too. If the new messenger or admin functionality doesn’t work as per your expectations, or you do not like the new experience, you can switch back to the old experience. Please provide feedback on reasons to switch back.

2. What are the recommended pre-upgrade steps?
   Answer:

   • Sandbox testing: Install the 3.0 package on your sandbox.

     • Test with your usual workflows and use cases before installing/upgrading on the production org.

     • Ensure the sandbox is not linked to the Helpshift production domain. If that happens, the link with the Salesforce production environment will break, and all the new cases will start flowing into the Salesforce sandbox.

     • If a test domain is unavailable for linking with the sandbox, Helpshift will provide one. Please get in touch with Tech Support for this.

   • Contact Helpshift Support to try the Beta version of an upcoming package on the sandbox.

     • Do not directly install on production using the link, even if it works fine on the sandbox.

     • Use the incognito window to install using the link.

   • Do not add the old and the new messenger components on the same page in production.

     • It will slow down the case record page on production.

     • We recommend testing on the sandbox first with both messengers added. That will help you to:

       • Compare the newer experience with the old messenger.

       • Get used to the new experience.
