Connect Salesforce and Microsoft SQL Server

Connecting Salesforce and Microsoft SQL Server could enable a company to transfer customer, sales, or operational data between the two platforms. This could support unified reporting, data analysis, or the automation of business processes that depend on information from both systems, reducing manual data entry and improving data consistency across the organization.

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

Why connect Salesforce and Microsoft SQL Server?

A company that uses both Salesforce and Microsoft SQL Server could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data, as this could support more efficient business processes and improve the accuracy of information used across the organization. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into both systems, which increases the risk of errors, slows down workflows, and can lead to inconsistencies between records. Over time, this lack of synchronization could result in key business decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, as updates in one system would not automatically appear in the other. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of customer records, sales transactions, and other business-critical data between Salesforce and Microsoft SQL Server. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the most current information available, reducing the need for duplicate data entry and minimizing the chances of records drifting apart. The specific types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the business processes in place and the data structures supported by each system. What can actually be exchanged is determined by the capabilities each system exposes through its API and must be assessed for each case individually.

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 Microsoft SQL Server 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.
