How to Integrate ZoomInfo With Salesforce?

Integrating ZoomInfo with Salesforce helps keep your Salesforce records updated with the latest data from ZoomInfo, ensuring your CRM data is accurate and complete. Follow these steps to integrate ZoomInfo with Salesforce:

1. Access Salesforce Setup

Log in to your Salesforce account and click your profile icon in the top-right corner. From the dropdown menu, select “Setup” to open the Salesforce Setup page, where you’ll find various administrative tools and settings.

2. Go to AppExchange

In the Salesforce Setup menu, scroll down or use the search bar to find “AppExchange.” Click on it to enter the marketplace for Salesforce-compatible apps and integrations.

3. Search for the ZoomInfo App

In the AppExchange, use the search bar at the top to type “ZoomInfo” and press Enter to start your search.

4. Install the ZoomInfo App

Look through the search results to find the ZoomInfo app. Click on the listing to see more details about the app, including its features and user reviews. Click “Get It Now” to begin the installation process and follow the on-screen instructions to complete it.

5. Authenticate ZoomInfo

Once the app is installed, return to the Salesforce Setup menu. Go to the “Installed Packages” section, find the ZoomInfo package, and click on it. Follow the provided instructions to authenticate ZoomInfo in Salesforce, which usually involves entering API keys or credentials from ZoomInfo.

6. Configure Integration Settings

In the ZoomInfo integration settings, you can adjust various options to fit your needs. This might include setting up how often data syncs, choosing which data to sync, and configuring field mappings.

7. Map Fields

Go to the field mapping section in the integration settings. Here, align ZoomInfo data fields (like contact details and firmographics) with the corresponding Salesforce fields (such as contact and account details) to ensure smooth data transfer.

8. Start the Initial Sync

After setting up the integration and mapping fields, start the initial sync between ZoomInfo and Salesforce. This process will transfer existing data from ZoomInfo into Salesforce and establish the connection.

9. Test the Integration

Create test records in ZoomInfo, such as contacts or accounts, and check if they appear correctly in Salesforce. Run various tests to ensure that data syncs properly and consistently between ZoomInfo and Salesforce.

10. Train Your Users
