In order to set up Contact Sync, the PhoneIQ managed package for Salesforce should be installed, and both platforms should be connected via the API.

Within the Integrations App, navigate to the Contact Sync view and select “Start Sync.” Choose Salesforce as the platform to sync contacts and proceed to the setup. Here you will be presented with a variety of options.

Only contacts with valid Phone Numbers will be synced from Salesforce to PhoneIQ.
Only contacts with a valid First Name in Salesforce will be synced from Salesforce to PhoneIQ.

Based upon the selection of objects to sync in the first step, admins will be able to select how they want to map fields between the two services.

Other than the PhoneIQ Company field populated by data from Salesforce (usually mapped to the Account ID field or equivalent), all fields can be mapped bidirectionally or in any direction.

Support for Person Account can be added too. Follow this link to learn how to enable it in your account.

After all contact sync configurations are completed, click “Sync.” The Initial Sync will start, and once finished, it will grant access to the contact sync dashboard. The Initial Sync status is displayed on the Contact Sync view and has different states represented in colors:

Orange: Initial Sync in Progress
​Green: Active Sync (Completed and sync actively running)
​Grey: Paused Sync
​Red: Sync with Errors

Note that if you have more than 100.000 contacts to sync, the initial sync might take some time to run. Please contact support at [email protected] to streamline the process.
