Can you map to custom Salesforce fields?

This is in reference to a user question I saw on your Salesforce integration page, wherein he stated that JotForm couldn't map to custom objects or fields.

I just want to confirm:  are you able to map to custom fields on standard objects?

Thanks

Yes, our integration supports custom fields on standard modules / objects such as Contacts and Leads. You can see the following guides for more information about our SalesForce integration, and recommended ways to map fields between JotForm forms and SalesForce:

Should you have a need to pass data from your form to a custom module / object within your SalesForce account, I believe that is possible as well, but you would need to use a third-party service such as Zapier to pass your data through:

Hi Steve,

We’re excited to announce that Jotform is now available on the Salesforce AppExchange! Salesforce AppExchange is an online application marketplace for third-party applications and solutions and it offers thousands of solutions and services that extend Salesforce, eliminating the need for constant platform switching. All that is required is to use the Salesforce forms and select object types to map them to corresponding fields. 

Here's how you can get started with the Jotform for Salesforce setup:

How to Add Jotform to your Salesforce Account

When you install Jotform’s app on your Salesforce account, you’ll have a Salesforce button right there on your forms, so now you can automate the creation of records in Salesforce. Keep on reading to learn how to install Jotform on Salesforce AppExchange. 

1. Log into your Salesforce account and click on the 9 Dots Icon on the left side of your homepage to open the App Launcher.   
2. Search for Jotform and click on it.   
3. To assign the Jotform App User permission to relevant users, go to the Setup tab. Note that you need to be the system administrator to change the permission settings.
4. After that, go to the Administration section on the left side of the page.
5. Under the User dropdown list, select Permission Sets.    
6. Click on Jotform App User permission, then click on the Manage Assignments button.    
7. On the Current Assignments page, click on the Add Assignment button, and select users to assign the permissions. 
8. Under the Setup tab, you can either log into your existing Jotform account or create one for free. If you’re new to Jotform, check out our subscription options.
9. Once you log in or create your account, you’ll be asked to allow Salesforce to access your Jotform account. Click on Allow, and your setup will be complete!

Creating a Salesforce Form

1. Now you can create forms that are automatically integrated with Salesforce. All you have to do is select the Create Salesforce Form option on the Create a Form page.           
2. When you select Create Salesforce Form, you can pick the Salesforce objects you want to include as fields in your form from the Salesforce Objects dropdown list. 
   Objects are essentially databases you can create. Objects are made up of fields that you can map to in your forms. This allows you to automatically create Salesforce records. In this example, we created a Contact form that will connect to a Contact Object in Salesforce. 
3. When you select an object, it will come up with a set of fields for you to include in your form. Now you can select the fields you want to include in your Contact object.
4. Click on Create Form when you’re done, and your form will show all the fields you selected earlier. 
   Now, whenever someone submits this form, their contact information will be added to your database in Salesforce.
5. If you want to connect other objects with your forms and fields you have already created, just click on the Salesforce cloud on the right to map your Jotform fields to your Salesforce fields.

How to Embed a Salesforce Form

Embedding your Salesforce form into your website will make it so much easier to get your contacts to go straight to your Salesforce database. Let me show you how to embed your Salesforce forms into your website:

1. First, make sure you’re logged on to the Jotform App in Salesforce.
2. Then in Form Builder, go to the Publish tab in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.
3. Select Embed from the menu on the left side of the page.
4. Click on the green Copy Code button under the Embed option. 
   The first line of code you see is in Javascript. We have other versions of embed codes to use as well. You can check out our help guide about Embed Codes to see which one works best for you.
   
5. Paste the code into the embed section of your site builder.   
6. Preview your site to make sure that it’s working correctly.
