Luke and Josh are talking about AcademicDesk housing academic subscriptions data. This is news to me. Is the Academic team planning on their own subscriptions engine?
- Verify that this is not the case and that they are using vanilla subscriptions API engine stuff Randall confirmed that they're not doing anything with subscriptions at the moment. It's all bulk licenses.
Luke showed me what he's working on Salesforce:
- A group account will have a License info tab that shows:
- Subscriptions for the group with, supposedly, information that comes from AcademicDesk: number of seats, the type of subscription (various checkboxes), etc
- The claimed licenses: this is simply a list of SF person accounts tied to the SF group account that have a subscription where the Group ID on the subscription ist he same as the Faithlife Group ID of the SF group account

These questions are irrelevant because they're not using subscriptions for any kind of academic licensing.
For this to work, it looks like we need:
Are group subscriptions integrating to Salesforce?If so, is the group ID being populated on subscriptions?
Enterprise subscriptions meeting - see notes there. The academic team has been tasked with using subscriptions for their bulk license distribution--this would enable students and church members to upgrade and continue subscriptions beyond/outside their church or school providing it. The minimize work and changes in the commerce engine, the current plan is to continue to use bulk licensing (not subscription-based) for academic license distribution. But, we don't integrate this kind of thing into Salesforce.
