Step 4: Add Demandbase Fields to Salesforce

  • Updated

Context

The Demandbase ABM Package adds a number of custom fields that you can add to standard Page Layouts within Salesforce. 

Our integration is very light-weight. We have a small AppExchange package that helps set up our lead to account matching and provides the custom fields we'll write your engagement data to. Out-of-the-box, we only write to fields created by our App Package. You can add these fields to your page layouts as you see fit. 

For any fields that are not part of the Salesforce Package, create corresponding Account/Lead/Contact fields in Salesforce. See Create Demandbase Calculated Fields for Connected Mode.

Prerequisites

  • You must have Admin privileges within your Salesforce environment. 
  • Install our latest AppExchange Package: Salesforce AppExchange: Demandbase (ABX Cloud) Package.
    Important: Even if you already had the Demandbase package installed, you'll need the latest version to access all of the components. When you log in to Salesforce and check out the AppExchange listing, it will tell you what version you have and what the latest version is.

Steps

  1. Log in to Salesforce as an Admin user.
  2. Click on Setup in the top right of the page.
  3. In the left navigation area, quick search for Customize (Salesforce Classic) or Object Manager (Salesforce Lightning) and choose the object you'd like to add fields to. For example, Leads.
  4. Expand the Object, click on Page Layouts. 
  5. Click on the Page Layout you want to add Demandbase fields to.
  6. In the Page Layout area you can see the available fields for your object. When you hover over each field, you can see that Demandbase field names begin with "engagio."
    Important: Currently the name of this data package is Engagio but will be changed to Demandbase in the near future.
  7. Drag each desired Demandbase field anywhere in the Object information area.
    (Optional) Create a new Section on the Page Layout by dragging the Section field into the page. You can then add Demandbase fields to that section.

  8. Click Save.
  9. Repeat these steps to add Demandbase fields to the Account and Contact Page Layouts.

Outcome

The newly added fields populate with Matched Account data when Demandbase has fully synced with Salesforce. The initial data sync may take 2-5 days, depending on volume. You can monitor the progress in Demandbase at Settings > System Monitoring > Data Sync Status.

Add Matched Lead Related List to Accounts

In Salesforce, go to Account Page Layouts. Click Related Lists and select Demandbase Matched Leads. Drag just above or below the Contacts list so that you can view the Account's Contacts and Demandbase Matched Leads at a glance.

Outcome

The fields will populate during Demandbase's sync. The initial data sync may take 2-5 days, depending on volume. You can monitor the progress in Demandbase at Settings > System Monitoring > Data Sync Status.
