Salesforce integration configuration - Lightning

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

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.

Pre-requisites 

• 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 you have set up a custom domain for your Salesforce URL. You can check this by going to Settings > Company Settings > My Domain. If not, follow the guide on the page to set one up, wait to receive an email about the domain having been activated, then login to the new domain. Go back to Settings > Company Settings > My Domain and activate the domain for all users.
