Hi Sarvesh,

Make sure that you don't have validation rules which are stoping it from Creation of Case.

Please do let me know if it helps you.

Hi Mahesh

There is no validation rule. I just want to understand here that how to link fields in Cases object with the fields provided in web-to-case in order to capture the data.

Hi Mahesh,

Here is the code which is generated from html. In this code I have removed commented part. But I don't see anywhere in the code that data will go into case object's fileds only.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToCase?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name="orgid" value="00D2800000195CV">
<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://talksalesforce.de">
<label for="name">Contact Name</label><input  id="name" maxlength="80" name="name" size="20" type="text" /><br>
<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>
<label for="phone">Phone</label><input  id="phone" maxlength="40" name="phone" size="20" type="text" /><br>
<label for="subject">Subject</label><input  id="subject" maxlength="80" name="subject" size="20" type="text" /><br>
<label for="description">Description</label><textarea name="description"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

Hi Sarvesh,

The concept of Web to Case is to create a case from the Website, whatever fields you are able to see above are the fields from Case Object.

This will indidates which Org I need to create a case.
<input type=hidden name="orgid" value="00D2800000195CV">

This will indidate which page I need open after clicking on the submit, generally it will be home page of your company.
<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://talksalesforce.de">

I generated the file below:
 
<form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

<input type=hidden name="oid" value="00D2800000195CV">
<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://google.com">


<label for="first_name">First Name</label><input  id="first_name" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="last_name">Last Name</label><input  id="last_name" maxlength="80" name="last_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="company">Company</label><input  id="company" maxlength="40" name="company" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="city">City</label><input  id="city" maxlength="40" name="city" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="state">State/Province</label><input  id="state" maxlength="20" name="state" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

Save this file as a.html file and provide the information and click submit.

Then login into Salesforce and there will be a case created in your org.

Please do let me know if it helps you.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Sarvesh,

Please take the below generated code for Case:
 
<form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToCase?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

<input type=hidden name="orgid" value="00D2800000195CV">
<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://google.com">


<label for="name">Contact Name</label><input  id="name" maxlength="80" name="name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="phone">Phone</label><input  id="phone" maxlength="40" name="phone" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="subject">Subject</label><input  id="subject" maxlength="80" name="subject" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="description">Description</label><textarea name="description"></textarea><br>

<input type="hidden"  id="external" name="external" value="1" /><br>

<input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

This will indicates that it is WebToCase:

<form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToCase?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

Please save it as a .HTML and open it in the Browser. If you want I can also try one time from here, it will create a Case in your org.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Sarvesh,

I just tested the same file with my DE org id and it is working fine.

What may the reason is:


(1) Check if there are any Validation Rule which is stoping the Case creation.
(2) Check if there is any Active assignment Rule.
(3) Check if you have a profile role and profile with Modify All on Case object.
(4) Check OWD on Case object.
(5) Rather than creating the view, try to search it with the text in global search.

These may help you to troubleshoot the issue.

Please do let me know if it helps you.

Mahesh
