Managing your Salesforce native integration

Explore what you can configure in the Salesforce native integration.

After connecting Salesforce to DialLink, you can adjust integration settings by choosing which DialLink users have their data synced between the two systems.

For each DialLink user, you can:

  • Select the Salesforce contact owner whose contacts you want to sync to DialLink.

  • Select a Salesforce user whose activity timeline will receive synced activity from DialLink.

  • Specify which activity types (calls, texts, or action items) are synced from DialLink to Salesforce.

To learn more about what data can be synced, refer to the relevant article.
