Video overview
Field mappings
Our integration offers two ways to map custom fields. The easiest option is to use our import wizard which combines importing records and mapping custom fields in one simple flow. It also allows you to work with any Salesforce object.
The dedicated field mapping feature is useful if you working with a different way to add records like subscriber rules or our process builder. Or if you want to map data back from Campaign Monitor to Salesforce.
To choose which data is synced between Campaign Monitor's custom fields and Salesforce contact and lead records:
In Salesforce go to the Campaign Monitor app.
Click on the Subscriber list tab and select the list you want to work with.
Click on Field mappings. Below are instructions depending on which direction you want mappings to go.
Salesforce to Campaign Monitor
To sync Salesforce contact and lead records to Campaign Monitor custom fields:
Click Edit this unlocks the page.
If you have custom fields already in Campaign Monitor these will appear. If you need to create a new mapping click on the New Campaign Monitor field.
Choose contact or lead and then choose a field from the pick list and then click Select. By default the direction will be set to Salesforce to Campaign Monitor.
A field of the same data type and name will be automatically created in Campaign Monitor.
Repeat this process if necessary and when finished click Save.
Campaign Monitor to Salesforce
You can map Campaign Monitor custom fields to Salesforce. Fields mapped in the direction of Campaign Monitor to Salesforce are tied to the primary sync, which runs every hour by default. This means that the integration will update Salesforce mapped fields with the values stored in Campaign Monitor every time the primary sync runs.
Field mappings will overwrite field values held in Salesforce when mapped in the direction of Campaign Monitor for Salesforce.
Click Edit this unlocks the page.
If you have custom fields already in Campaign Monitor these will appear. If you need to create a new mapping click on the New Campaign Monitor field.
Choose Contact or Lead and then choose a field from the pick list and then click Select. By default the direction will be set to Salesforce to Campaign Monitor. To change this click on the Drop down link and click Edit.
A field of the same data type and name will be automatically created in Campaign Monitor.
Repeat this process if necessary and when finished click Save.
Click apply field mapping to other Subscriber Lists to use the same field mapping for another Campaign Monitor subscriber list.
Field mappings in the direction of Campaign Monitor to Salesforce will update all active contacts in the subscriber list.
