FAQ
How can I map 'Deals' or other Salesforce CRM section fields to Thena?
To map fields from sections other than Companies (e.g., Deals) in Salesforce CRM to Thena, you'll need to implement a Salesforce CRM automation. This automation should map the desired fields to the Companies section, which can then be synchronized with Thena using the configuration feature.
Will changes to a mapped field in my CRM automatically update in Thena?
Yes, any updates to fields in Salesforce CRM that are mapped to Thena will be synchronized in real-time. This ensures that changes, such as updates to a company name, are immediately reflected in Thena.
I want to send each request in Thena to Salesforce CRM. How do I do this?
To synchronize requests from Thena with Salesforce CRM, please refer to our detailed integration guide. Note that the use of Custom Objects for detailed request data synchronization at the company level requires Salesforce CRM's Enterprise Edition.
