Context
Installing the Demandbase app package from the Salesforce AppExchange is the first step in connecting Demandbase and Salesforce. It adds a number of Demandbase custom fields, an iFrame, and a Salesforce dashboard with Sales Insights reports. You can also add custom tabs to access Demandbase directly from Salesforce.
A Demandbase Salesforce Lite integration is also available for customers interested in a read-only integration. See Set Up Salesforce Lite with Demandbase One and Optional Pardot Integration.
What does the Demandbase (ABX Cloud) Package do?
The Demandbase app package adds custom fields to the Account, Contact, and Lead object so you don't have to create them manually. It contains minimal APEX code. See Step 4: Add Demandbase Fields to Salesforce.
It also comes with one Visualforce iFrame that you can add to page layouts for visual engagement insights. This tabbed iFrame offers multiple chart views. See Step 5: Add Demandbase Visualforce Chart to Salesforce.
In Salesforce Lightning, we offer a Salesforce dashboard for users that want to see a graphical representation of Demandbase based reports. See Sales Insights Dashboard and Reports within Salesforce.
Important: In Salesforce, there is a limit on dynamic dashboards you can install depending on your license. See the dashboard article in Salesforce for more information.
