Connect Salesforce and Act-on

Connecting Salesforce and Act-on for a company could make it possible to synchronize customer and lead data between marketing and sales teams, automate the transfer of campaign results, and provide more comprehensive reporting. Such a connection could help ensure that both systems reflect up-to-date information for improved decision-making and collaboration across departments.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Salesforce and Act-on around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Salesforce and Act-on?

A company that uses both Salesforce and Act-on could benefit from having these systems exchange data, as this would support more coordinated sales and marketing activities. Without such a connection, staff might need to enter the same information in both systems, which can lead to errors and wasted time. Over time, customer records and campaign results could become inconsistent between the two platforms, making it difficult to have a clear view of prospects and customers. This situation can result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, reducing the effectiveness of marketing and sales efforts. Data that could be exchanged between Salesforce and Act-on includes contact details, lead status updates, campaign responses, and engagement metrics. The specific data that can be shared depends on what each system makes available through its API and would need to be assessed for each implementation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Salesforce and Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
