    Working on several forms where we have the SalesForce Standard Contact Matching Rules set up but it is still duplicating (creating new) contacts with the same information rather than updating the current contact. Please help me out!

    Hello Sam,

    Thank you for contacting Jotform Support. I understand that you're having issues with the Salesforce integration and records or details are not updating in your form. Could you please specify which part of your data is not being updated? The data should reflect once there's an update or basically, it should be real-time.

    Jotform helps you to design attractive and versatile lead-generating and contact forms, whilst Salesforce CRM software allows you to track and distribute leads to team members. Please make sure that you follow the steps below. You can remove the integration of Salesforce and re-integrate it in your form by following the steps below:

    • In the form builder, click Settings.
    • Click the Integrations tab.
    • Search for Salesforce, and click it.

    • Click the Authenticate button to link your Salesforce account. If you have already linked your Salesforce account, you can select it from the dropdown.

    • Once you’ve connected your account, choose one of the following actions: Create or update a record or Find a record.
    • Select an object from the list. All standard and custom Salesforce objects are supported in the integration. 
    • Map your form fields to the data fields from your chosen Salesforce object.
