Salesforce Integration

Updated today

Buzz now offers a native integration with Salesforce, making it easier than ever to keep your workflow smooth and your data where it belongs.

The Salesforce integration is only available if your Salesforce plan includes API Access.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how to connect your Salesforce account to Buzz and set things up so everything runs smoothly.

Connecting Your Salesforce Account

To get started, head over to the Integrations tab in your Buzz dashboard. Find Salesforce in the list, and click Connect.

You’ll be redirected to the Salesforce login page.

💡 Already logged in on your browser? You might skip the login screen altogether.

Just enter your Salesforce credentials and hit Log In.

Once you're successfully connected, you should be brought back to Buzz and see this screen.

If the redirect didn't occur, go to the Integrations tab, find Salesforce and click Manage:

Once the integration is connected, the following prospect data from Buzz can now be pushed to the default fields in Salesforce:

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email (personal email in Buzz)

  • Phone (default phone number in Buzz)

If you want to sync additional data points, you can do so using Custom Fields. See the section below for setup instructions.

📌 Push Activity History. If you’d like Buzz to send activity data to Salesforce along with your prospects, make sure this option is turned on.

The following activity types will be synced:

  • AI Label Added

  • Prospect Replied

  • Prospect Marked as Customer

  • Prospect Marked as Lead

  • Message Received from Prospect

More activity types will be available soon.

In Salesforce, you will find this info exported to the Activity History section as Tasks.

Setting Up Custom Fields in Salesforce

If you want to start pushing more data beyond the default fields, there’s one important step: adding Buzz’s custom fields to your Salesforce account. This ensures all the right data lands in the right spots.

You can map the following prospect fields to custom fields in Salesforce:

  • Job Title

  • Work Email

  • Enriched Email

  • Enriched Phone

  • Social Profile URL

  • Labels (General & AI)

  • Company Name

  • Prospect Status

  • Campaign Name

  • Campaign ID

More custom field options will be available soon.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. In Salesforce, click the Settings (gear) icon at the top right, then choose Setup.

2. On the left sidebar, scroll down to Objects and Fields > expand it and click Object Manager.

3. Find and select Contact from the list.

4. In the left sidebar of the Contact view, click Fields & Relationships.

5. Click New to create a new field.

6. Choose Text as the field type and click Next.

Now, for each of Buzz’s custom fields, you’ll fill out a quick form. Here’s an example setup for the Work Email field:

You can create as many fields as you want by repeating the same process for each of them. Use the following data for reference:

‼️ Important: when creating custom fields, make sure to enter the Field Names exactly as shown in the table above. These names need to match precisely for Buzz to send the data to the right places.

Once you have filled all the fields, click Next 2 times and then finally confirm the new field by clicking Save.

After entering the info for each field, click Next twice, then Save to finish.

Once all your fields are set up, you’re ready to start syncing prospects from Buzz to Salesforce.
