Permission requirements
Scopes determine the permissions our app has to access data or perform actions in Salesforce. When connecting Userled to your Salesforce instance, you must approve the scopes our app requests. We require as few scopes as possible for our app's functionality.
Below are the scopes we require:
Getting Started with the Integration
Navigate to the integrations section within your Userled dashboard.
Select 'Salesforce' from the list of available integrations.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to authenticate your Salesforce account. You will see a notification saying the integration was successfully added. You’re not done just yet.
4. Click “Authorise” to authorise your Salesforce to connect to Userled
5. Login to Salesforce and follow the Salesforce steps to authorise the connection
6. Navigate back to your Salesforce integration settings to validate it’s connected properly. You should see a “🟢 Connected” status.
Managing Target Lists
Once Salesforce is integrated with Userled, you can:
Create Lists: Import your key accounts and contacts from Salesforce.
Manage Lists: Segment your imported contacts using CRM properties such as industry, deal stage, or any custom fields. This allows you to craft personalised experiences based on these segments.
You can follow our guide for more information on how to create and manage target lists.
Syncing Personalised Experiences to CRM
CRM distribution lets you sync the personalised experiences you create in Userled directly with Salesforce. Here’s how:
Custom Properties: Experiences are synced against custom properties in Salesforce. This ensures that your sales reps have direct access to these experiences within their workflows, such as sales sequences or email marketing campaigns.
Automation: Set up automatic syncing so that every time you create or update an experience in Userled, it is immediately available in Salesforce.
You can follow our guide for more information on how to sync assets to your CRM and how to use them in sales sequences.
Prospect Identification & website activity tracking
The integration tracks when a prospect clicks on a link to a personalised experience created in Userled. You can view this engagement directly in Salesforce, helping you identify high-interest prospects and prioritise follow-ups.
Website activity tracking monitors the behaviour of prospects when they visit your website after engaging with a personalised experience. The key benefits include:
Real-Time Alerts: Your sales team will receive instant notifications when a prospect visits your site, allowing them to engage while the prospect’s interest is high.
Page Views: You can see which pages the prospect is viewing, providing insights into their interests and needs.
You can read more on our Identity Layer to better understand how Userled identifies website visitors and monitors their activity (spoiler, it's cookieless!).
