Salesforce integration: Ability to assign a lead/contact to another account from the integration wizard

    Asked on May 12, 2017 at 11:41 AM

    How is it possible to default the owner of the Contacts when they are passed to SFDC from Jotform submissions?

     

    Also, similar questions for the account that they will be associated with? 

     

    I do not see these field as options for integration when I am going to pass a contact. I know that you could choose the Account list but I only need to associate the contact with the account not create a new account. 

     

    Thanks,

    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    I am not really sure what you meant this. But take note that when integrating JotForm to Salesforce, you will use an account -- your Jotform account and your Salesforce login.

    When a form is completed, an account is created in salesforce but when the data is integrated to salesforce the account owner is automatically tied to the account holder of Jotform.

    I am not sure that I can understand you properly.

    If so, would you please give us further details about your request?

    Thank you.

    Kindest Regards.

    I am having the same issue, When i select "Lead" there should be fields that correspond with my fields on SalesForce. Those fields are not showing. I am also showing a disconnect of integration as of 1:30am(PST) new leads have not come in.

    Any information if this is a Jotform issue or a Saleforce issue?

    I am talking about the accounts within salesforce org that the contact is associated with. It is a field value on the Contact but is not selectable in the picklist.

    But as for ownership you are saying whatever account is logged into jotform will be the owner of the record in SFDC?

     

    Thanks

    @whelank,

    Could you confirm if you are referring to the Contact Owner field in the Salesforce?

    It looks like the owner defaults to the user authorized the integration on the form. Please allow me some time to check on this and get back to you with relevant information. Let us know if you are referring something different.

    @pf22222,

    Your question is moved to a separate thread and shall be addressed there shortly.

    Yes I am referring to the Contact Owner field, as well as the Account Name field.

    Thanks for your confirmation. Let me run few tests and get back to you with relevant information in this regard. 

    Thank you for your patience.

    Thank you for being patient. I have tested the Salesforce integration again and see that the Contacts are being assigned to the account that is integrated with. I have created a new user in my Salesforce developer account and integrated the JotForm with the new user account created. I see that the contact is then assigned the new user. If the form integrated with the main account, the submission is assigning the contact to the main account itself.

    Do you want to enable the selection of the user (contact owner) by the form filling person or you want to assign the owner to the contact in the integration wizard? Please let us know your requirement so that we may be able to send a feature request to our backend team.

    Also, let us know if you are looking to assign the account name for the contacts from the integration wizard itself.

    Ok this makes sense for the contact owner.

     

    Yes, I am looking to assign the account name for the contacts from the integration wizard.

    Could you provide us with some more information on this requirement of Account name? I assume we can select one account name in the integration wizard. So, each submission received will be assigned to the same account name. Would it be fine this way?

    Yes that is exactly what I am looking for.

    Sorry for the delay. I have forwarded this thread as a feature request to our backend team for evaluation. I cannot promise that the feature request will be accepted for implementation or cannot provide any ETA at the moment. However, if there is any news in this regard, you'll be posted here.

    Thank you!
