Learn how to set up SmartSend ROI and use all the features available. You must have SmartSend enabled for your Spekit organization to begin. Please get in touch with your Customer Success Manager or support@spekit.co to discuss enabling SmartSend
Prerequisites for Connecting Salesforce
Before connecting Salesforce to Spekit, ensure the following:
- Create a dedicated Salesforce Integration User. This user will be responsible for managing and maintaining the connection between Salesforce and Spekit. Having a separate integration user helps improve security, ensures better tracking, and minimizes disruptions if individual user accounts change. Click here to learn how.
- Authenticate the connection using the Salesforce Integration User. Only the integration user should be used to establish the connection. This approach provides a stable and consistent link between the two platforms, preventing potential issues caused by individual user access changes.
How to connect Salesforce
A Salesforce Admin can connect your Salesforce instance to Spekit by following these steps:
1.) Open the Spekit Web App.
2.) Navigate to Settings.
3.) Click Connect.
4.) Find the Salesforce for SmartSend tile.
5.) Click Connect to Salesforce.
6.) Log in to Salesforce when prompted to complete the authentication.
How to Map Fields
After connecting Salesforce, you need to map fields to align Spekit data with Salesforce.
1.) The field mapping step will be presented after authentication.
2.) Review the pre-selected default field mappings to ensure accurate data syncing by mapping key fields:
- All Objects: crm_id, is_deleted, created_date, source
