Gravity Forms Salesforce Add-on: Everything You Need to Know!
With the Gravity Forms Salesforce add-on, you will now be able to integrate your WordPress website with Salesforce. Once configured and logged in, you can automatically send your form submission data directly to your Salesforce account.
Let’s take a closer look at the Salesforce add-on features and how to know if your Salesforce account has API access and can connect to our add-on…
Access to Salesforce APIs
As mentioned, to use the Gravity Forms Salesforce add-on, your Salesforce account must have access to the Salesforce API.
You can check if your Salesforce account supports the APIs required for our Gravity Forms integration by using our Salesforce Connection Checker tool.
For more information, see this Salesforce Developer article that describes the license types known to provide API access. We recommend checking with your Salesforce account manager or Salesforce Support if you have further questions on this matter.
Salesforce Objects
With the Salesforce Add-on, you can quickly launch form flows that create different objects in Salesforce CRM. (Object types are created and managed in the Salesforce platform). This allows you to automatically create leads, contacts, accounts, and other Salesforce objects when a form is submitted.
Map form fields
In a form flow, you will need to map form fields to CRM fields, allowing you to collect and store the data your business needs. Each Salesforce object has its own selection of data fields: the chosen object’s fields will be loaded when an object type is selected, allowing you to identify each one for mapping.
Update existing records
The Salesforce add-on allows you to choose to update any existing records in Salesforce that are recognized as duplicates. This ensures your Salesforce data stays up to date without creating redundant entries.
When disabled, the feed will not update duplicate records. Instead, if a duplicate is found, an error will be displayed in the entry log and that form entry will not be processed.
Log in to Salesforce using manual setup
With the Salesforce add-on, you have the added ability to manually connect a WordPress site to Salesforce. This is useful when working at a client site or when it is not convenient to sign in to the Salesforce account to log into Salesforce.
For more information about the Salesforce add-on, see the documentation.
Get the Salesforce Add-on
As mentioned, the Salesforce add-on is available with a Gravity Forms Elite, Nonprofit, or Developer license. Here’s how to get your hands on it…
- For all active Elite, Nonprofit, or Developer licensees, simply install Salesforce from the Add-ons Browser in your WordPress admin, or download it from your Gravity Forms account dashboard.
- If you currently have a Basic or Pro license, go to your Gravity Forms My Account section to upgrade your license to Elite.
- Not yet a Gravity Forms customer? Visit our Elite license plan page to learn about the features and integrations you get with this license and make a purchase. Or, if you run a registered nonprofit, you can apply for our deeply discounted nonprofit license.
