Do you have SalesForce.com Partner Portal users who would like a mobile version? Frustrated that SalesForce doesn’t offer the mobile client for Partner Portal users?
Well you are in luck because Partner Portal users can now use MintFly! To get started, please email sales@mintfly.com and ask about this offering.
Salesforce.com’s login screen allows you to bookmark your account with your username and password in the URL and when used
We decided to emulate the same functionality. As long as you are using “https” in the URL, your password is still safe being transmitted over the internet. You just need to take extra precaution that no one has access to your phone because this one link will log you into your account directly. Let’s try it out…
First, open the Android browser and navigate to mintfly.com (stay on the login page)
Click on the Menu option, then click on Bookmarks
Click on Add
Click on Location
The original url should be “https://mintfly.com/app/login.php” and you will want to add your username and password (even token if you want) to this url. You will need to type this at the end of the URL:
?un=joe@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123
Replace “joe@salesforce.com” with your username and replace “mypassword123″ with your password (add token if you did not grant network access).
Your new url should look like this:
https://mintfly.com/app/login.php?un=username@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123
Tap the “OK” button and your new bookmark will now log you in directly!
We have just released the first SalesForce.com application on the Android market. To install, just search for “SalesForce” on the Android market. The Pro release contains the following functionality:
We also released a free demo, which contains view and search of Leads.
This application is only for SalesForce Professional or higher, due to SalesForce restrictions on versions below professional. Please check your SalesForce version before downloading.
The Pro application contains a one year license for MintFly, including any upgrades to the Android application. This includes the MintFly mobile web client, which allows modification of all standard and custom objects. If you want to use MintFly mobile web client, just visit www.mintfly.com from your mobile phone after downloading this application. We are currently working to include this functionality in the Android application.
If you are the first person using MintFly at your organization, your SalesForce administrator will have to complete the following steps before you can login. You can also have these emailed to you after you download the application. http://mintfly.com/main/salesforcecom-network-security
Please feel free to email support@mintfly.com; we appreciate any and all feedback. This is the initial Android release, so be on the lookout for updates!

Salesforce.com’s login screen allows you to bookmark your account with your username and password in the URL and when used
We decided to emulate the same functionality. As long as you are using “https” in the URL, your password is still safe being transmitted over the internet. You just need to take extra precaution that no one has access to your iPhone because this one link will log you into your account directly. Let’s try it out…
First, open iPhone Safari and navigate to mintfly.com (stay on the login page)
Click the “+” to create a bookmark
Click “Add Bookmark”
Accept the default bookmark (we can’t edit the url yet) by tapping “Done”
Open your bookmarks by clicking on the book link at the bottom of the screen
When viewing your list of bookmarks, click the “Edit” button at the bottom of the screen
Now tap the name “MintFly.com” or the “>” symbol to edit the urls (final step)
The original url should be “https://mintfly.com/app/login.php” and you will want to add your username and password (even token if you want) to this url. You will need to type this at the end of the URL:
?un=username@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123
Replace “joe@salesforce.com” with your username and replace “mypassword123″ with your password (add token if you did not grant network access).
Your new url should look like this:
https://mintfly.com/app/login.php?un=username@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123
Tap the “Done” button and your bookmark will now log you in directly!
To go along with the updated pricing we have decided to give away one 1-year MintFly Pro license per month.
How to enter? Every time you login to MintFly you are entered into the drawing. On Jan 31st I will pull a list of all logins, sort randomly, and pick the person on the top of the list. You could be it… you just have to login to your Salesforce.com account via MintFly!
We have changed the pricing model and updated our PayPal payment options. You can now subscribe on a month-to-month basis for MintFly.com. This way there’s less of a commitment even though we are taking a hit on the processing fees.
Do you have a support organization that would like a nice new customer portal? We are working on a streamlined customer portal option that is integrated 100% with Salesforce.com which allows your customers to manage cases, converse in forums, and submit product ideas. Would you like to be part of the beta? Send us an email: mintflysupport@mintfly.com
We have a new logo. Now when you add the bookmark to your home screen you will see a shiny little MintFly logo icon:
Oh yeah, and we updated MintFly last night to fix a number of issues in search, login time speed, list layouts, and a few other areas. Our goal is to deliver a great product, fix bugs immediately, and deliver the most relevant features in the littlest time. Have you experienced a bug or have a good idea for a feature? Send us an email and let us know.
We have our ears and eyes open! Still, we were able to get just enough time away from email and order processing to correct all known bugs and get those main features requested incorporated into MintFly.
“My Home” is now part of all versions. Here you can see today’s events and your open tasks. This is the first iteration of this functionality, so if you have an idea on how to make it better, let us know. Search performance should be improved and other usability enhancements around date-time editing and viewing related records were made.
The other great thing that was added is List View Filters. You can now specify in your list view to only include leads of a particular status, source, or whatever you’d like. Not too shabby, if I do say so.
