| Salesforce | OAuth | Send, Import, Suppression |
Set it up
- Connect Ghost. Use Admin URL + Custom Integration key. Setup guide.
- Connect Salesforce. Use OAuth. Setup guide.
- Import your Ghost contacts into OpenContact, so there is one record per person.
- Create a sync rule. Pick a trigger, add Ghost and Salesforce as destinations, and map the fields.
- Dry-run it. See which destinations match and which fields would be sent, then switch the rule on.
Good to know
Salesforce
Salesforce requires a Last Name on new Contacts; if a contact has none, OpenContact uses the email so the record still saves. Imports read the standard Contact object.
