CV Twitter feed is an effective app introduced by CloudVandana. Wonder what your Accounts, prospects, and contacts are tweeting about?

Do you want to keep yourself updated about the Tweets of your contacts, prospects, or accounts you are dealing with? Do you find it tedious to open Twitter in a separate Tab and search for each profile?

CV App Store is here to solve all your questions with the new CV Twitter Feed app. It is easy to configure and designed natively on Salesforce. You can get Twitter feeds of your Contacts, Leads, and Accounts on the Salesforce page without switching tabs, and you don’t need to go anywhere for that.

Just enter the Twitter handle on the page, and you are good to go. Sounds easy, isn’t it?
