# Launch from Salesforce (LFS)

**Launch from Salesforce (LFS)** denotes a functionality enabling users to directly initiate or access specific apps from **Salesforce**. This feature offers a streamlined process for seamlessly transferring data from the **Salesforce CRM** platform to our Valorx Fusion apps, eliminating the need for additional logins. 

Designers can launch an app directly from **Salesforce** and export **CRM** data to **Excel**, by selecting the "**Launch from CRM**" option in **Workflow and UX**. To initiate the launch, users should access **Salesforce**, navigate to the desired location, and click on the Custom Button / Quick Action created within **Salesforce**. 

* Start an App and open the **Workflow and UX** from Valorx Fusion Ribbon and locate **Workflow Settings** on the right-hand side.
* Click on the name of the Workflow to access its settings.
* Select the "**Launch from CRM**" option by checking the corresponding box.

Click on **Launch from CRM instructions** and a popup window “Launch from CRM instructions” page will open which guides the users on how to configure a workflow to launch it from CRM. This page will have clear instructions with examples on how to create **Detail Page Buttons** and also shows how to add the buttons to the page layout.
