Salesforce is a powerful CRM tool used to help salespeople like you manage accounts, improve client relations, and close big deals. It offers features like contact management, sales forecasting, and workflow automation, enabling you to track your sales pipeline, collaborate with your team, and make data-driven decisions to drive revenue growth.
Integrating your Jotform form data with your Salesforce database and creating Salesforce forms lets you quickly capture more leads and speed up your sales process.
Update
Jotform is also available with Salesforce AppExchange. By adding Jotform from Salesforce AppExchange, you’ll have a Salesforce button directly on your forms, allowing you to map object fields to form fields in seconds.
To integrate Jotform with Salesforce, please follow the steps below:
- In the Form Builder, go to the Settings tab.
- Select Integrations from the left panel.
- Search for Salesforce, and click it.
- Click the Authenticate button to link your Salesforce account. If you have already linked your Salesforce account, you can select it from the dropdown.
- Select your Salesforce action. With Salesforce integration, you can:
- Create or update a record — Choose this option to generate a new Salesforce record or update an existing record.
- Find existing record — Choose this option to find an exiting record or create a new one if it doesn’t exist yet.
- Next, do the following:
- Select a Salesforce Object — Choose the Salesforce Object to which you will send your form data.
- Create a record — You must map the Salesforce Object fields to your form fields. You can map more fields by clicking the Add Field link at the bottom of the fields.
Optionally, you can also do the following with Salesforce integration:
- Update an existing record — Toggle this option to update your Salesforce data when the data from the selected fields matches an existing record. Click the Add Field link to add more fields for the duplicate rules. Visit Salesforce Duplicate Checking to learn more.
- Send submission PDF and file uplodas to the chosen record — Toggle the Attachments to send your file uploads and the PDF copy of the submission to Salesforce.
- Finally, click the Save button to save and complete the integration.
After saving, you should see the actions you created along with Action Logs and Add New Action buttons. When you hover your mouse over the created action, you’ll also see the Edit (gear icon) and Delete (trash bin) icon.
We also recommending checking our Dos and Don’ts of the Salesforce Integration. It will help you master the integration and make similar recommendations for other integrations, especially those involving the mapping or matching of form elements.

I have a couple of questions as I work to get the form fields into our Salesforce org.
1. I am finding an existing or creating a new Contact record. How do I get the Account ID in there? I see the field and I can select it, but I do not have a field on the form that holds the Account Id. I want the same Account Id for all the Contacts that are being created new.
2. In following the directions in the help 1063-how to integrate jotform with salesforce, it shows that I should have an Attachments toggle. But I don't have this available to me. Does this need to be enabled somewhere?

Hi, I have had my team work on trying to integrate a jotform with many fields to feed into salesforce. We have been 100% unsuccessful to even getting one field to populate. Our team talked to salesforce, who said they don't know anything about jotforms. We had to email back and forth with Jotforms to get the answer that it doesn't work. So how can you market that jotforms integrates with salesforce when we cannot get anyone who knows how to actually do this? we would love it to work but don't know what we are missing to get it to work. Please help!

Great integration! IHere's a question for your team.
A challenge I found was to "Find existing record", particularly when the Object to be found is a Contact, the name of which is composed of two entries "First Name" and "Last Name", but I need the Jotform space to be a single entry. I ended up doing the link through a specific Object Field, like an email address... Unfortunately, the integration only works when the Jotform entry is an Email widget, which requires the user to type the address, as opposed to choosing from a list. Do you have any suggestions on the matter? Thank you

After integrating (authenticate/link) the form to Salesforce Sandbox account, how can integrate (re-authenticate/re-link) the same form to Salesforce Production account without having to remove the integration and remap again?

Can we connect to a Salesforce sandbox to test? I haven't been able to get it to authenticate. Also, how do you authenticate when using an SSO? Thank you for your help!

We used to integrate our Jotforms into campaigns in Salesforce through the "Legacy" integration. It was very simple using a specific security token from SalesForce. With the new integration options, I can no longer add members to campaigns from the forms. Is there a work around?

We are attempting to configure donations collected through Jotform (with PayPal) and we are not getting the files to map correctly each time. Is there a log that we can see that might give us insight on whyb some fields are not mapping correctly and resulting in blank records?

I'm a SF consultant. I am working with a non-profit that has a super limited budget. I was curious if the SF integration was only available at a certain plan level and/or is there an additional cost to using that integration?
Thanks,

I currently utilize Salesforce for job intake, however, I have a field on my Jotform where the user can put in an already existing Salesforce job number. How do I link JF and SF so that when the user inputs an existing SF job number, the form they're filling out will link to that job in SF?

Hi we are salesforce partner, we have a prospect looking to integrate Jotforms with Salesforce but are looking at Salesforce Professional edition and need to send data to a custom object, is this possible or does this require Enterprise Edition of Salesforce?

Here's what I'm envisioning: A separate dashboard where we can view all of our form submissions (applications, contact form, product waitlists, demo sign-ups). We would like to assign reps and attach notes that are easily accessible/viewable on the contact's page. Is this possible?
Will be submitting a support ticket to see if what I'm envisioning is possible. Or perhaps there's a better way to accomplish this? All of our forms are currently in Jotform and our reps are using a Google Sheet to view submissions. They're unable to make edits to the sheets without resetting the integration.
Any ideas on how to make this easier for them?

Do you have a sample of taking an uploaded file on the form and passing that to Salesforce (Content Version object)?

None of the examples show the mapping of a Salesforce Checkbox field (boolean / true-false) to a field in a Jotform. The integration does not show any eligible fields on our form when we select those field types in Salesforce. There doesn't appear to be a simple boolean flag field type in the form elements. How is this integration possible?

With this integration is it a direct pass of the data to Salesforce or does the data also remain / get stored in Jotform?

Can I conditionally create a record inside salesforce?
For instance, I want to create 2 records inside salesforce after form submission
and the form has a checkbox field,
-> if that's true then create 2 records,
-> else if that's false then create a single record
