Set Up the Salesforce Destination
Last Updated: September 27, 2023
For pricing information, please fill out the demo-request form on our pricing page to get in touch with a sales representative.
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.
