To provide the Member Services team with the information they need directly on the Contact record, the IT Administrator can take two main actions. Firstly, embedding the 'Member Summary Embedded Dashboard' on the Contact record allows the team to have a visual and comprehensive overview of a member's loyalty activities, including recent transactions and adjustments, directly within the context of the contact. This dashboard is specifically designed to aggregate and display relevant loyalty information, making it a suitable tool for quick insights.
Secondly, adding the 'Transaction Journals' related list to the Contact record enables the team to view detailed entries of each transaction and manual adjustment made by or for the member. This related list provides granular data about each activity, allowing for a deeper analysis and understanding of the member's loyalty interactions.
These recommendations are based on best practices for Salesforce Loyalty Management, ensuring that the team has access to both summarized and detailed loyalty information within their usual workflows, enhancing efficiency and providing a holistic view of member activities.

For Northern Trail Outfitters to display member information in its external member portal, a crucial prerequisite is the creation of a Connected App in Salesforce Platform. This Connected App facilitates secure API access to Salesforce data, including Loyalty Management information, by providing an authentication and authorization framework.
By setting up a Connected App, Northern Trail Outfitters can establish a secure connection between its external member portal and Salesforce, enabling the retrieval of member information through Loyalty APIs. This setup ensures that the external portal can access up-to-date loyalty data, such as member points, tier status, and transaction history, in a secure and controlled manner, enhancing the member experience outside of Salesforce.
