What is Salesforce?
Salesforce is a cloud-based software company that focuses on customer relationship management (CRM) and applications related to customer service, marketing automation, sales, analytics, and app development.
Within your Salesforce database, you’ll have a digestible presentation of tables that help you make sense of your data. The better you understand your data, the better decisions you can make to support your go-to-market teams.
What is Salesloft?
Salesloft is a sales engagement platform that facilitates and tracks activity for sales teams. Its platform allows you to automate tasks, such as email sequences, outbound calls, and LinkedIn outreach, while tracking activity and responses.
Through a single application, you can run your entire sales organization by syncing activity back to your CRM. Whether you’re looking to close, create, or expand your accounts, Salesloft helps you manage the tasks and opportunities within them.
Why integrate Salesforce with Salesloft?
Integrating Salesforce with Salesloft primarily helps with communication and sustaining reliable access to information. Allowing data to sync from Salesforce ensures information is accurate, up to date, and free of human error for Salesloft sales teams.
What is the best way to sync Salesforce with Salesloft?
There are several options concerning Salesforce with Salesloft integration strategies. Each has its own pros and cons.
Here are your integration options:
- Native sync using Salesloft
- iPaaS tools (Salesloft to Salesforce and back)
- Reverse ETL tools (Salesforce to Salesloft)
- Syncari for Salesforce + Salesloft sync
Common problems with Salesforce + Salesloft integrations
When a person is created or added to Salesloft software, they are sometimes automatically added to Salesforce during native sync. This isn’t ideal. Data shared between the two systems (e.g., during CRM syncs, user activity logging) may be miscommunicated, which leads to errors in the native sync transfer.
Moreover, it’s difficult to produce a trail of breadcrumbs from Salesloft’s native sync. It also means that Salesforce must be your source of truth, which is a common practice but rarely the best way to go.
There are other concerns, too, including common problems with iPaaS integrations for Salesforce and Salesloft. Many iPaaS tools seem to be able to solve for this, by offering field-level workflows between the two tools. However, this usually results in the need for many workflows dedicated just to this sync. Timing relays become difficult to manage, and troubleshooting is very hard to keep up. Integrations are often complex, which may lead to needing custom API development assistance.
Additionally, reverse ETL tools for bringing data from Salesforce into Salesloft often struggle to handle heavy data loads, inefficient queries, and lots of custom script interventions, to name a few.
