Calendar's Salesforce integration automates CRM updates by creating or updating Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities whenever a meeting is scheduled, rescheduled, or canceled. It installs a native package to map data, allowing for real-time lead routing based on Salesforce ownership and tracking activity, which eliminates manual data entry.
Key Benefits
Create and update contacts and meetings when people schedule with anyone in your workspace.
Automated Record Creation/Updating: When an invitee schedules, the integration checks for existing contacts/leads by email and updates them, or creates new ones if necessary.
Event Tracking: Every meeting creates a Salesforce event with attendee details, timestamps, and custom mapping.
Select Salesforce, then in the pop-up, click the button 'Grant Salesforce Access.'
You will be directed to the Salesforce login page. Enter your login credentials.
Once your Salesforce account is connected, you need to install the calendar package.
Select Install the Calendar package, and then select Install for All Users.Select Install.
Test: To test and customize your setup before going live, you can connect your Salesforce sandbox.
Note: By default, the installed Calendar package comes with two flows to help you get up and running. The logic of these flows can be customized, and new flows can be created to best fit your company’s current setup. The default flows are:
Create or Update Contact Flow
Cancel Event Flow
IMPORTANT: If you see an error during installation, you may be using the Group or Professional edition of Salesforce. Your Salesforce Edition must be Enterprise or higher to integrate via web service API.
Schedule meetings with your scheduling events
Once the steps above are complete, when people schedule with anyone in your workspace, the Salesforce integration will automatically create or update your Salesforce contacts and meetings.
