How to Integrate with Salesforce

By enabling Salesforce and creating mappings, you can sync your survey responses to Salesforce.

Connect with Salesforce

  1. On the Dashboard page, click on the Edit link for your design.
  2. Click on the Advanced Options link from the header menu or the Advanced Options icon from the side menu. Then click on the Integrations link.
  3. Under the Salesforce section, click on the toggle icon. If this is the first time connecting SurveyOL with Salesforce, you will be redirected to the Salesforce login screen. Log into your Salesforce account and allow the connection.
  4. Once the connection is built, you can click on the + New Mapping button to create mappings. There are 2 mapping types.
