Zendesk bridge
If Zendesk is also connected, Rulebase can link Salesforce records to Rulebase customers and companies. To enable this, set theexternal_id field on your Zendesk users and organizations to the corresponding Salesforce Contact ID or Account ID. Rulebase detects the link and syncs enrichment data.
Next steps
Once connected, Rulebase starts syncing Contact and Account data.- Customer records are enriched with name, email, and phone from Salesforce Contacts
- Company records are enriched with name and account manager from Salesforce Accounts
- If you also use Zendesk, confirm your
external_idvalues are set to valid Salesforce IDs to enable automatic linking
