The Salesforce custom object integration in Mixmax allows you to sync Mixmax activity to your custom objects in Salesforce.

Setting up Custom Objects in Salesforce

The first step of using Salesforce Custom objects in Mixmax is to set up some custom objects in Salesforce.

Salesforce Administrators can use the following instructions to set up a custom object in Salesforce:

Salesforce Administrators should also keep the following considerations in mind for custom objects:

  • Mixmax requires the Allow Activities optional feature to be enabled on your custom object. This allows Mixmax to sync activity to the object.

  • Custom objects must have at least one field that associates the custom object with your Mixmax email recipients. To find more information, see Adding fields to objects.

  • Mixmax Custom Object syncing requires one of the following fields:

    • Email

    • Lookup Relationship (Lead)

    • Lookup Relationship (Contact)

  • Salesforce users should have permission to view the custom object and create, edit, and delete the tasks they've created.
