Configuring the plugin

The integration with Salesforce requires adding the "Web to Lead Form URL" parameter in the Components > RSForm!Pro > Configuration > Salesforce tab.

This is the URL where the Salesforce data will be submitted to. Defaults to the URL for Live version:

https://webto.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead

For Sandbox mode, you will have to use the following URL:

https://test.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead

Using the Salesforce integration

In order for the form to produce leads you will have to enable the integration and set up the parameters.

While editing your form, you can switch to Form Properties tab > click on the "Salesforce Integration" > and set to "Yes" the "Use Integration?" option.

Enabling the debug mode, will allow the configuration of intermediary email address to which an email with the lead information will be delivered upon submitting the form.

After the integration has been enabled, you will have to map the Salesforce fields with your RSForm!Pro form fields. Clicking on the blue arrow associated with each field will display a list of available placeholders (this can also be typed in). If you are using a field named "test", the correct placeholder will "{test:value}".

Adding Custom Fields

In order to add Custom Fields to the integration you will have to click on the "Add Custom Field" button at the bottom and add Field's Id and the Value that you wish to place in the field.

The Id of the field can be found in the URL when editing a field.
