Here's a breakdown of the integration's key functionalities:

Salesforce Integration Preferences

What Can the Integration Do?

The Leadmonk and Salesforce integration offers a wide range of functionalities to streamline your sales processes:

  • Create Contacts: Automatically create new contacts in Salesforce based on meeting schedules or inbound forms.
  • Create Leads: Generate new leads in Salesforce for potential customers.
  • Create Accounts: Establish new accounts in Salesforce for companies or organizations.
  • Create Opportunities: Create sales opportunities associated with leads or contacts.
  • Create and Update Engagements: Automatically create or update meeting records in Salesforce.
  • Update Contact Owner: Assign ownership of contacts to specific sales representatives.
  • Update Lead Owner: Assign ownership of leads to appropriate sales team members.

How the Integration Works

The integration operates seamlessly to sync data between Leadmonk and Salesforce:

  • Lead Creation: When a lead schedules a meeting or submits an inbound form, Leadmonk checks for an existing account in Salesforce based on the invitee's email domain. If no matching account is found, a new lead is created.
  • Contact Creation: If a matching account is found, Leadmonk searches for a matching contact within the account. If no match is found, a new contact is created.
  • Account Creation: If no matching account exists, Leadmonk creates a new account.
  • Opportunity Creation: If a matching account is found, Leadmonk searches for an open opportunity. If none is found, a new opportunity is created.
  • Owner Updates: The meeting host is automatically assigned as the owner of the corresponding lead or contact.
  • Engagement Updates: When a meeting is scheduled or updated in Leadmonk, the corresponding engagement record is created or updated in Salesforce.
    • When a lead schedules a meeting through Leadmonk, it will create a new meeting in Salesforce for that contact.
    • The meeting title will have the format Meeting-Leadmonk: {Event name} in Salesforce.
    • When a meeting is canceled or rescheduled by either party, the activity will be updated in Salesforce and both parties will be notified.
    • Canceled meetings will update the activity as Meeting - [Canceled] Leadmonk: <event name> in Salesforce. The activity does not disappear, giving you a complete history of activity for the account.
    • Meetings marked for no-show will update the activity as Meeting - [No-show] Leadmonk: <event name> in Salesforce.

Note: The specific integration behaviour can be customized through the CRM Integration Preferences in Leadmonk.
