Let's take a look step-by-step at how to integrate Salesforce using Constant Contact as an example:

The use case below is for a Constant Contact subscriber, and the same process will apply to Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Drip, and other marketing automation solutions supported. 

SALESFORCE INTEGRATION ROLE PERMISSIONS:

1. API Enabled permission to access any Salesforce API
2. Object permissions for all needed
3. Page layout assignments for all required by your role
4. Record type assignments if using record types
5. Contacts
6. Leads
7. Accounts
8. Campaigns
9. Campaign Members
10. Campaign History
11. Custom Fields
12. External data source access
13. The detail and edit pages
14. Related lists
15. List views

Step 1: Salesforce   

• First, you need to create a Set Up, which is just another term for integration. It can also include Full Sync, Field Mapping, and more.
• Then enter your Profile Name. The Set Up Name is just a description for remembering the Set Up you created.
• Select the Connect to Salesforce button using oAuth and enter the credentials.
• Next, select Object Type to Sync. If you’re satisfied with your settings, you can proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Constant Contact  

• Enter Constant Contact credentials. Connecting to Constant Contact is super simple. Press the button to log in to the account to validate your Set Up. Hover over SyncNotes to learn what the Main List is all about. To check your Main List, go to your Constant Contact account and choose your preferred Main List. You can copy and paste it into the Main List text box.

(2022 onward plans, all Add-Ons are included in Steps 1 & 2)

The Full Sync applies to CRM and eCommerce platforms and can be used in our trials and plans. The CRM must have List integration to be able to use Full Sync.

Read more about how the Full Sync Feature can automate your contact management today in our article here.

The Full Sync can be scheduled to Manual, Daily, or Weekly.

It allows you to keep your systems trued up with ease.

Step 3: Field Mapping  

• Field mapping from your chosen software one and two allows you to update existing or new records easily.

Step 4: Filtering and Segmentation  

• Filtering takes CRM records, filters them based on specified criteria, and syncs your records into your target application.
• Segmentation sync records from each defined segment into separate lists or groups.

Step 5: Sync Scheduling  

• Sync Scheduling can be set up on Free Trials and all plans.
• Sync on Demand is available on all trials to allow quick testing of your software integration.

Set Up Page

• Press the Sync Now button from the Set Up screen to sync your data immediately.
• Wait until the Sync Process is complete.
• After that, you can view Sync Summary in Sync Logs.
• Visit your Salesforce Contacts to see if they are Synced 

You’re all done!

If you get stuck and need help, please feel free to reach out to our support team 24/7.

Once you set up your Set Up, these are the next steps.

Best Testing Practices for Your 4-Week Free Trial

1. Ensure that you have created 2 Set Ups if you are using both Leads and Contacts. Select Accounts as the object type if you are using Salesforce Accounts.

2. Create one Salesforce Campaign or List View for testing purposes. You can use our Filter and Segmentation feature in tandem with each Salesforce Campaign or List View. Please note to have test records in it

3. Head to SyncApps and select your test Salesforce Campaign or List View. If you choose Filters, select the specific records from the precise Salesforce Campaign or List View. Please review this link if you want to add Salesforce Person Accounts.

4. Ensure that the “Email Opt-Out” field is visible on the Salesforce Account, Contact, or Lead Page Layout. It facilitates easy testing of unsubscribes from your Marketing Automation Solution or CRM through frequent manual inspection.  SyncApps uses the default Email field in Salesforce for syncing email records between systems unless using a custom email field.

5. Go back to your Marketing Automation Solution to create and use an empty list to integrate into the Main List mentioned in Step 2 of your integration process. SyncApps creates the list automatically, or there is an option to use an existing List. This list will be used for the integration of all your Contacts in your Marketing Automation Solution. Press next until you get to the ‘Finish’ option.

6. Press “Sync Now” on your Set Up page.

7. Head over to check your Marketing Automation Solution Lists for the Salesforce Campaign or List View synced from Salesforce. The Main List will now contain the records you placed into the Salesforce Test Campaign or List View or those records from the Filter you are testing against the Salesforce Test Campaign or List View.

Once completed, you can remove the testing settings and keep the features you need, like Campaigns, Marketing Lists, or Filtering.

Salesforce Supported Editions

Subscribing to Salesforce, SyncApps is available for Salesforce Professional (API Enabled), Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions. Check out the Salesforce Lightning editions supported.

Please note that due to restrictions on Salesforce Professional Edition, the ability to look up Salesforce information and post back from applications requires adding API access to your Professional Edition organization. It will attract an additional cost to the Professional Edition.

Getting Started/Basic Concepts

Sign up for a SyncApps Account and review this help center article in detail.

Let’s get started with the basic concepts:

Opt-Out Field:

The "HasOptedOutEmail" must be accessible by API and placed on each Salesforce Layout. Please make sure that the "HasOptedOutEmail" is visible and editable in both Contact & Lead layouts.

SyncApps does support custom Opt-Out fields if you need this feature, please enable it on Step 3 Field Mapping.

Campaigns:  

For Campaign Responses flowing back to Salesforce, there are two methods that can be synced:

• Individual statistics: synced to the Campaign Member Object. Custom fields for Sends, Opens, and Clicks are auto-created by SyncApps. Fields need to be placed on the Campaign Member layout, so they are accessible by the Salesforce API. 
• Summary statistics: synced to Campaign Object. Custom fields for total Sends, total Opens, and others must be manually created in Salesforce. They also need to be mapped in each Set Up. All newly created fields to be mapped in Step 3 of your Set Up under the Campaign tab need to be placed into the Salesforce Campaign layout.  Please enable this feature for Campaign Response Type. 

Step 3 Field Mapping:

Salesforce:

Activities:

If you select to create an Activity in your SyncApps configuration, you need to make sure that each event, such as Opening and Clicking, will create a new Activity (Task) in Salesforce.

Campaign Member's custom fields are created when "Sync Campaign Responses" in Step 1 of any Set Up is selected, and the "Next" or "Save" buttons are pressed or clicked in a Set Up configuration.

Getting Started - Campaign Layout Fields

Once you have created a Set Up (see above) from your dashboard and are on Step 1, selecting "Sync Campaign Response," check your Salesforce layouts to make sure all the fields created by SyncApps are dragged into the layouts for your Salesforce organization before continuing to Step 2.

Sync Campaign Responses feature is required in Step 1 of your Set Up setup before SyncApps automatically create fields.

In Lightning Salesforce:

Did we mention that we also support your Marketing Automation Solution Drip Email Campaigns to help your Salesforce metrics and in various ways to meet your requirements? Well, we do!

Email metrics flow back to Salesforce based on your choice in Step 1 of your Set Up Setup.

What type of metrics do you want to bring back into Salesforce?

1. Campaign in Salesforce
2. Activity in Salesforce
3. Both Campaign & Activity
4. Note + HTML Template
5. Sync Marketing Metrics only

Please also be sure to place the Activity fields created by SyncApps on your Contact or Lead layouts.

Using Accounts Object (Person accounts) and need to see Campaign Metrics?

See here...

Three layouts need to be edited to work for Salesforce Professional Edition with API Enabled:

• Campaign Page Layout: Add Campaign CazoomiID (optional for Enterprise Edition, but make sure the username has access to the fields)
• Campaign Member Page Layout: Add Campaign CazoomiID, Clicks, Bounces, Forwards, etc. (optional for Enterprise Edition, but make sure the username has access to the fields)
• Contact or Lead Page Layout: Add Clicks, Bounces, and Forwards to the Campaign History-related list (optional, but needed to see the metrics in the Contact or Lead layout.)

Salesforce layouts check:

• Drag Campaign CazoomiID into the Email Campaign Page Layout

• Drag CampaignMember CazoomiID into the Email Campaigns Member Page Layout and any fields you want to report on, like Opens, Clicks, Forwards, and Bounces

• The Campaign metrics fields placed in the Campaign History layout (related lists) + Email Events will bring in the "URLs clicked" in the email into Salesforce from your Marketing Automation solution.
• Campaign Response is synced every 24 hours. If you need Campaign metrics to sync back more frequently, please enable this feature from the Scheduling Tab in your integration.

Note:

For Salesforce Campaign Member Status, we always sync with the latest status, one of the following: 

• Clicked:  If the recipient clicked 
• Opened: If the recipient opened
• Bounced: Email Bounced
• Unsubscribed: Opted Out of an email campaign
• Sent: If the recipient is a member of the Email Marketing Campaign and none of the above statuses applied.

Individual Contact Record:

If you need to use Salesforce Campaigns, only then the Full Sync is required.

So mainly, if you want to use Salesforce Campaigns and want to remove members automatically, this feature, "Full Sync," will automatically manage the Contact and Lead record removal features for Campaign members to Email Marketing Lists and Groups on each Full Sync schedule. 

This means that anytime a record is added to or removed from a synced Salesforce Campaign, created by SyncApps, it will always be in sync with the Marketing Automation Software you use today.
