Mautic - Salesforce CRM plugin

This plugin can push a contact to Salesforce CRM when a contact makes some action. If you don't have the Salesforce CRM account yet, create it.

Features

Enabled features: You can pull leads and/or push leads from and to the integration.

Push leads is done through a form or a campaign.

Pull leads is done through command line and it can be setup as a cronjob.

Feature specific settings: Select the objects you wish to pull or push records from. You can push contacts to the Leads object in salesforce. You can also push activities (contact's timeline records) to a custom object in salesforce.

Pulling records will be done from Leads and/or Contacts objects in records and Accounts from Salesforce will be pulled into Mautic companies.

Updating of a Contact's Owner can be be enabled by turning on Update Contact Owner. This is not enabled by default. In order for a Contact in Mautic to match a User in Salesforce the email addresses in the two systems must be identical.

Command line script to pull records from Salesforce

To pull records from salesforce you need to use a command from CLI. Use this command:

Used to pull records from the Leads object in Salesforce

  • php app/console mautic:integration:fetchleads

Used to push activities to the Salesforce custom object described below

  • mautic:integration:pushleadactivity

Parameters both commands take:

--time-interval This parameter is used to setup the amount of time we want to pull records from. Possible entries: "10 days", "1 day", "10 minutes", "1 minute". Maximum time interval "29 days".

--integration=Salesforce to use with salesforce integration. In future this command may be used for other integrations.

Setting up Mautic's custom object in Salesforce

To be able to push activities to the salesforce integration you first need to setup a custom object in your salesforce instance. Please setup the object as it is described below. (Note: these are two underscores with no space between - not rendered well in Github).

Custom object name: Mautic__timeline (API name: Mautic_timeline__c)

API names of fields:

  • ActivityDate__c : Date/Time
  • contact_id__c : Lookup(Contact)
  • Description__c : Long Text Area(131072)
  • WhoId__c : Lookup(Lead)
  • MauticLead__c : Number(18, 0) (External ID)
  • Mautic_url__c : URL(255)
