The ReferralHero / Salesforce integration provides a robust set of features that empower you to:
- Import Existing Contacts from Salesforce to ReferralHero
- Automatically Sync ReferralHero Subscribers to Salesforce
- Track a Salesforce Conversion Event
NOTE: Before connecting the ReferralHero/Salesforce integration, API access needs to be enabled in your Salesforce organization. API access is enabled by default in most Salesforce editions, including Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions but a few editions like Professional do not include API access, and you need to enable API access or upgrade to a higher Salesforce edition.
If you have existing contacts in your Salesforce account and you want to import/subscribe them all to your ReferralHero campaign, you'll want to follow these instructions:
- 1.Go to your Campaign Dashboard > Subscribers > Import and click on the tab Import from CRM.
- 2.If you haven't connected your Salesforce account yet, please do it now by clicking on the button Setup Integration.
- 3.Choose the Salesforce account from which you want to import contacts/subscribers.
- 4.Specify a URL for the referral link. This is the URL that we will use to generate the referral link for your subscribers. For example, if you use http://mywebsite.com, the referral link will be 'http://mywebsite.com?mwr=123456'
- 5.Optional: Choose to "Send Welcome Email" at the time of import. Note, you must activate your Welcome Email in Automations before enabling the "Send Welcome Email".
- 6.Click on the button Import
We will import your subscribers into your ReferralHero campaign immediately. Depending on how many subscribers you are importing, it might take from a few minutes to several hours. We will send you an email when the import is finished.
NOTE: If you turn on the Salesforce integration (see the section below), ReferralHero will populate the custom fields in your Salesforce account with the subscriber's values.
If you want to automatically add ReferralHero subscribers to Salesforce follow these instructions:
- 1.Log into ReferralHero
- 2.Go to your Campaign Dashboard > Edit Campaign > Integrations > Salesforce
- 3.Click ‘Connect your Salesforce account’
- 4.After you connect your account, choose the Salesforce account from the dropdown
- 5.Then click Save
The integration will automatically create the following custom fields in your Salesforce account.
FIELD | Description |
|---|---|
CODE | Subscriber's unique referral code |
EX_FIELD | Subscriber's extra field value |
EX_FIELD_2 | Subscriber's second extra field value |
LAST_REF | Timestamp of last referral |
POINTS | Subscriber’s total accumulated points |
POSITION | Subscriber’s position |
REF_LINK | Subscriber's unique referral link |
REFERRER | Subscriber’s referrer’s name |
SOURCE | Subscriber's source. If empty value will be "None" |
SUB_ID | Subscriber's id |
TOT_REF | Subscriber's total number of referrals |
EM_LINK | Subscriber’s email link |
FB_LINK | Subscriber’s Facebook link |
TW_LINK | Subscriber’s Twitter link |
NOTE:
- 1.You should update the Field Level Security settings in Salesforce, which you can find in the 'Setup' menu under 'Field Accessibility.'
- 2.This step is crucial because it lets you decide which user profiles should see these new fields and where they should appear on the page layouts. By default, all RH custom fields are hidden, so adjusting these settings is necessary to control who can access these fields and where they appear on different layout configurations.
Now when a person signs up for your ReferralHero campaign, they will be immediately added to your Salesforce account.
NOTE: ReferralHero will automatically update these custom fields when a person signs up or when things change (eg: when a subscriber refers a new person, their TOT_REF value changes).
If your Salesforce contacts are associated with “Opportunity”, you can add an event in the Salesforce integration that creates a rule to trigger the following actions in ReferralHero whenever there is a defined Opportunity Stage change in Salesforce.
- 1.Contact added
- 2.Referral change from pending to unconfirmed/confirmed status
- 3.Total spend updates
- 1.Click the ‘Add Event To Track’ button
- 2.Give the event a name
- 3.Select the Salesforce opportunity stage to track
- 4.Select the 'Trigger Event Type' option that corresponds to the action you want to perform in ReferralHero, such as adding a contact or changing a referral status.
