Depending on your Salesforce version, you will need to follow either the guide for Salesforce Classic (this one), or the guide for Salesforce Lightning: Salesforce integration configuration - Lightning

Should any issues arise during setup, please reach out to our support team at support@templafy.com.  

 

About the Salesforce integration

A Salesforce integration is available for Templafy which works via a Canvas App in Salesforce. This allows showing a Templafy Create Document on object pages in Salesforce (for example for contract pages, account pages, etc.) which, when clicked, will transfer data about the object to Templafy. This data can then be used to fill out placeholders in templates when creating a document. The finished document can be uploaded as an attachment to the Salesforce object directly from Templafy.

 

Prerequisites 

  • System Administrator access to the Salesforce instance for which the integration is to be setup.
  • Admin access to the Templafy tenant for which the integration is to be setup. 
  • Ensure that Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated is not checked. You can check this by going to Setup > Security Controls > Session Settings and looking under Session Settings.
