Salesforce
Salesforce acts as the primary system of record for your sales pipeline, while Planhat serves as your environment for commercial execution. By connecting these platforms, you transform static CRM data into actionable signals that drive health scoring, lifecycle workflows, and proactive account management.
Unlock the power of Salesforce with planhat
Improve net revenue retention
Identify expansion and referral opportunities earlier by pushing Planhat Health Scores and account summaries directly into Salesforce Account views. This shared context ensures sales and commercial teams intervene the moment health shifts, protecting recurring revenue and fueling growth.
Shorten time to value
Accelerate the transition from sales to post-sale by automating record creation the moment a Salesforce Opportunity is marked "closed won". Planhat instantly provisions the Company record, aligns stakeholders, and assigns implementation tasks, allowing onboarding teams to bypass manual discovery.
Increase process governance
Standardize commercial coordination across systems with bidirectional task and note mapping. Syncing Salesforce Tasks into Planhat as handover items ensures every account follows the same execution model, while preserving global account hierarchies via Parent Org mapping.
Improve commercial predictability
Refine revenue forecasts by combining Salesforce deal data with live product usage and engagement signals in Planhat. Mapping Salesforce Opportunities to Planhat revenue models—including Licenses and Sale (NRR)—provides leadership with a reliable, structured view of upcoming renewals and expansions.
how it works
Flow & configuration
Object and model mapping
Authorized users define the relationship between Salesforce standard or custom objects and Planhat models. Standard pairings include Account ↔ Company, Contact ↔ End User, Task ↔ Task, and Case ↔ Conversation (ticket). Revenue structures are preserved by mapping Opportunities to Planhat’s License and Sale models.
Field-level sync and direction
Administrators configure sync direction at the field level, choosing between bidirectional, receive-only (Salesforce to Planhat), or send-only (Planhat to Salesforce). This allows Planhat to act as the primary execution layer for health and adoption while keeping Salesforce updated for teams working exclusively in the CRM.
Automated sync cadence
Data moves between systems using two distinct triggers: Salesforce to Planhat sync runs on a scheduled cadence—typically every 10 or 30 minutes—to check for changed records. Outbound updates from Planhat to Salesforce occur in near real-time as users create or update records, complemented by a full daily sync for Companies and End Users.
Hierarchy and extension handling
The integration maintains complex customer structures by mapping Parent Account ID to Planhat's Parent Org model. Teams can also use extension objects to enrich core Planhat models with data from multiple Salesforce objects, providing a comprehensive view of assets, projects, or professional services.
Security and constraints
Connection requires an authorized Planhat user with requisite Salesforce permissions to initiate the bridge via the Integrate tab. For security, the integration is designed to create and update records but does not support cross-system deletion. Manual sync options, including "Fetch All," are available for historical data backfills or troubleshooting.
