FAQ

Questions about Pulse? Here are the straight answers.

How it works with Salesforce, what it can access, where the numbers come from, and what you’ll pay.

What does Tally Pulse actually do?

It builds and updates Salesforce reports from a conversation. Ask for something like “Show pipeline by stage,” review the setup, and Pulse creates the report and charts in Salesforce.

Do I have to know Salesforce Report Builder?

No. Describe the result you want in your own words. Pulse handles the fields, filters, formulas, groupings, and charts.

Can I update a report we already use?

Yes. Search your existing Salesforce reports by name or folder, open one next to the chat, and describe the change you want.

How does it know which fields to use?

When you connect Salesforce, Pulse reads the fields and choices available to your user, including custom fields. It checks that setup before building the report.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every number comes from a Salesforce query. Open “How this was calculated” on a chart to see the query and its source report.

Can it see data I can’t see?

No. Your Salesforce permissions still apply. If Salesforce won’t show your user a record or field, Pulse can’t see it either.

Can it change my Salesforce records or setup?

No. It can create reports, dashboards, and formulas inside reports. It can’t edit records, fields, users, permissions, flows, or automation.

What can someone see from a share link?

Public links are off until you enable one. Anyone with an enabled link can view the approved aggregate snapshot, but not detail rows, Salesforce IDs or links, source fields, filters, Boolean logic, formulas, or your original request. Disabling permanently revokes that URL; enabling again creates a fresh one.

How long does setup take?

Usually a few minutes the first time. A Salesforce admin installs Pulse’s metadata-only OAuth registration once for the org; then each user signs in through Salesforce and approves the connection.

Can I disconnect Salesforce?

Yes. Disconnect inside Pulse whenever you want, or remove the connection directly from Salesforce.

Which Salesforce orgs are supported?

You can connect a production org or sandbox with Salesforce API access.

How much does it cost?

It’s $120 per month for one connected Salesforce org and includes 100 customer-written messages. Pulse replies, presented choices, approvals, and the Salesforce reports or dashboards created from a message do not cost extra.

Your next Salesforce report doesn’t need to become a project.

Create a new report, improve one your team already uses, or build a dashboard. Review the result and publish it directly to Salesforce.
