What is Salesforce?

Salesforce is the leading cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) platform. Founded in 1999 to help sales teams improve their interactions with prospects and customers, Salesforce is the best choice for housing all of your company’s data. Today, it has evolved into the software that drives the backend of over 150,000 businesses around the world.

What kind of data would I want to import into Salesforce?

Need to keep track of internal or external company data? Salesforce allows you to import the information imperative to run your business. Here are a few examples of the types of data you would want to import:

• New and returning customer data
• Sensitive patient data in healthcare
• Survey data such as customer or employee satisfaction, market research, and exit interview
• Donor or grantee profiles, project or grant reports, and annual reports
• Cases, allow a customer to open a case from a web form rather than email to case
• Lead generation, collect leads verify and prevent duplicates via online form integrated with Salesforce
• Account and Contact form, update records in Salesforce of any object.

What are my options for importing data?

When it’s time to put data into Salesforce, entering it manually is time-consuming and prone to human error. You want this arduous process automated and efficient. Here are a few user-friendly options:

• Data Loader — A universal tool that uploads bulk amounts of data and information from systems without Salesforce integration like Excel spreadsheets.
• Native Salesforce features — Salesforce offers internal applications such as Web-to-lead, which supports lead generation through creating forms that capture information about visitors to your website, or Web-to-case, which gathers customer support requests directly from the company website. While helpful, these applications have limitations that may prevent you from meeting your individual needs.
• External Salesforce form platforms that input data directly into Salesforce — We think this option, which we’ll cover in the rest of the guide, provides the most bang for your buck. Our no-code, digital platform contains capabilities beyond the native Salesforce features, including complete customization, form and document generation, drag & drop, and visual integration. We make implementing complex custom solutions painless.

When would I want to use an external data collection tool to send data to Salesforce?

As discussed above, external data collection tools, like Titan, offer seamless, powerful integration capabilities with Salesforce beyond their built-in tools. With our all-in-one digital platform, you can create, build, and design flexible forms and documents that import and export data efficiently.

Who uses Salesforce forms?

Companies and organizations of all sizes across a wide range of industries, from healthcare to advertising and beyond, use Salesforce forms. The fully customizable and flexible Salesforce forms built using Titan Forms will streamline your work processes, increase efficiency, and let customers interact with Salesforce in the way that best fits your business needs. Examples of the types of forms created in Salesforce include:

• Intake Forms — These forms collect the required information from a client or patient for their appointment (e.g., personal details, insurance details, payment details, medical history, etc.), saving you from collecting this data yourself during the meeting.

Bi-directional Integration - Your Key to Making Forms Smart

Bi-directional integration means that as your customer write their information, your form can already be validating it against your CRM. This capability allows for syncing in real-time, providing instant up-to-date information about customers and info for sales and products. Titan Forms’ bi-directional integration offers pathways to access any relevant Salesforce data.

How do I start building a form?

Titan Forms lets you build forms your way. Choose from provided dynamic templates; use a blank canvas and drag and drop elements in the form builder to create the user experience you want; upload a previously created form to customize as needed, or generate forms automatically, using standard automation Salesforce tools like Process Builder and Flow.

Features and Scenarios

As discussed above, the native features Salesforce offers might not always meet your company’s specific needs. With Titan’s all-in-one platform containing state-of-the-art technology and no-code products seamlessly connected, you can adapt your forms to fit your situation.

Salesforce Integration - Standard and Custom Objects and Fields

Titan Forms features multiple standard and custom objects and fields in your Salesforce forms. Because of the bi-directional integration, you can sync from Salesforce at every step of the way and bring data from any object to any field you like. In addition, each field can be set to bring information from the CRM and send data to it. The data you need is always accessible from these objects and fields.

PUSH data to Salesforce

When you build your initial form, the “Push” integration authorizes users to write to standard and custom Salesforce objects, permitting you to create, update, and delete Salesforce records in real-time.

GET data from Salesforce

The “Get” integration feature enables you to read data from any custom or standard Salesforce object to populate your form fields and trigger actions in real-time.

Using one field that GETS and PUSHES

Unlike most applications, Titan Forms offer a powerful dual integration with Salesforce, meaning that a field can both push data into Salesforce objects and get data from Salesforce objects for your forms.

Conditional Logic

Organizations that use Titan Forms often require complex logic built into their forms, documents, portals, and surveys. Luckily for them, Titan Forms makes all of that simple. Conditional logic is accomplished with clicks only, allowing you to control any field behaviours and trigger the results you want. For example, you can design a form that shows users only the fields relevant to them, or in a survey, the flow of the questions can be directed based on the responses of its user.

Prefill forms with Salesforce Data

• Nobody enjoys filling out their information every time they visit a website or online form. Titan Forms solves that annoyance through the form integration with Salesforce, letting you get and push data from the Salesforce community.
• Public
  Expand your organization’s community by embedding a Titan Form in Salesforce as a public form. When the user fills out the form, their data will be then created in Salesforce to access and pre-fill in forms as needed.
• Community
  Titan Forms authorizes you to generate a document and embed a form in the Salesforce community so you can utilize the pre-fill feature for future forms.

Smart-V

Smart Validation (Smart-V) is a customizable, special element that provides additional security by adding a double verification to your form based on data from Salesforce. You will only need to configure Smart-V once, and it will be implemented across other forms. Also, you can set a time frame for the Smart-V session, meaning that once the customer enters their code, they will not have to fill in their details again, as long as the session is active.

Updating Records in Salesforce Using Forms

Enabling the Salesforce Push integration, and choosing the “Update” option in the “Action” category, allows form fillers to update information in existing records.

Uploading Files in Your Forms

Through the File Upload element, create, upload, store, and attach multiple files to forms in Salesforce. File Upload’s “Capture” property allows the form filler to capture an image, audio, or video and attach it to a form.

Generating Documents from Your Forms

You can generate documents directly from Salesforce using Titan Forms, Salesforce flows, which builds complex business automation using clicks instead of code, or directly from a Titan form. A common use case is to trigger a document generation once a form or an application form is submitted.

Lookups in Forms

Adding the lookup tool to your Salesforce-integrated form will create a search box for the fillers to search within objects and records in Salesforce.

Collect Payment with Stripe, Paypal, and More

• With Titan Forms, organizations can capture payment credentials and map this information to any object in Salesforce. The payment integration in Titan Forms works with over a dozen payment providers around the globe and is always expanding. Seamlessly collect customer payment information while also sending other data to Salesforce.
