Account Synchronization

What Account Sync does​

Account Sync is the account identifier mapping between RevOps and Salesforce.

In this section, you map:

  • RevOps: Account.account_id
  • Salesforce: one field on the Account object

This mapping helps RevOps identify which Salesforce Account corresponds to the RevOps account identity during CRM sync workflows.

What Account Sync does not do​

Account Sync is not an account import wizard.

  • It does not bulk import Salesforce Accounts from this pane.
  • It does not automatically create all mappings for you.
  • It does not replace your broader Salesforce variable/mapping setup.

How customers should use this setting​

Treat this as your account identity bridge.

Choose the Salesforce Account field that your team uses as the long-term canonical account key.

Should this be Salesforce Account.Id or a custom field?​

Either can work, but the best choice is the field that is most stable for your process.

  • Use Salesforce Account.Id if your process treats that as the canonical key.
  • Use a custom external/account key field if your team relies on a stable business identifier across environments and migrations.

If sandbox/production records are frequently recreated, many teams prefer a custom stable key to reduce remapping risk.

Is Account Sync required?​

You can connect Salesforce without immediately configuring this mapping, but it is strongly recommended for reliable account matching.

Only one Account Sync mapping is allowed.

Is it populated automatically?​

No. This is configured manually during setup:

  1. Go to the Account Sync section.
  2. Click Add Mapping.
  3. Select the Salesforce Account field.
  4. Click Save.
