To geocode account records using the shipping address, start by creating a custom mapping for the account shipping address fields.
To create a new custom mapping for geocoding:
1. Open the Geocoder tool.
2. Click on Manage Custom Mappings.
3. Select Create a New Mapping.
4. Configure the following settings:
• Object: Choose Account.
• Street: Select Shipping Street.
• City: Select Shipping City.
• State: Select Shipping State/Province.
• Postal Code: Select Shipping Zip/Postal Code.
• Country: Select Shipping Country.
• Geolocation: Select Shipping Geolocation.
Before clicking “Save Changes”, review the mappings carefully to ensure that only the shipping address fields are selected. Including both billing and shipping address fields can lead to errors during the geocoding process.
When finished, click "Save changes".
After saving the mapping, select the Account Shipping object and choose a list view. Then, click “Geocode Selected Objects” to start the geocoding job. Once the process is complete, click “Download to Salesforce” to save the results.
