Set Up the Salesforce Destination
Last Updated: May 19, 2022
The Salesforce Destination allows you to create a task or chatter message in Salesforce whenever a person/company matches an audience.
Common use cases include:
- Assign your account executives a task in SFDC when a named account with no activity in the last 30 days hits our site.
- Notify your account executives when any of their accounts with an open opportunity has a spike in traffic and hits the pricing page.
- Create a task when a contact leaves their job.
💡 Clearbit Tip: Because you don't want your Sales team's inboxes flooded with open tasks, we recommend that you use this destination with only narrowly scoped audiences.
Enable the Destination
- Navigate to any audience in Clearbit.
- Click the Destinations tab.
- Click the Create button in the Salesforce box, and a pop up will appear.
- Select one of the options in the Trigger box, which sets the criteria for a person/company to trigger the destination:
- When a company enters the audience
- Triggers only when a company/person enters the audience.

- On page view
