This article explains how to connect your Cognism account to Salesloft so users can export contacts and companies directly from the Cognism Sales Intelligence Platform.
Before you begin
Before configuring the integration:
- You must be a Cognism Administrator.
- The Salesloft integration must be enabled for your organisation.
- You must have a valid Salesloft account.
- You must be able to sign in to Salesloft with an account that has permission to create or update records.
For more information, see Salesloft Requirements & Permissions.
Connect Salesloft
- In the Cognism Web Application, click your profile avatar.
- Select Settings.
- Open Integrations.
- Locate Salesloft.
- Click Add.
- Click Log In.
- You will be redirected to the Salesloft sign-in page.
- Sign in using your Salesloft credentials.
- Once authentication is complete, you will be returned to Cognism.
The Salesloft integration is now connected and ready to be configured.
Configure the integration
After connecting Salesloft, administrators can configure:
- Person field mappings
- Account field mappings
- Matching behaviour
- Export actions for existing records
These settings determine how Cognism creates and updates records in Salesloft.
For detailed instructions, see Configure Salesloft Field Mappings.
User login
Once an administrator has enabled the integration, individual users must authenticate their own Salesloft account before exporting records.
To sign in:
- Click your profile avatar.
- Select Settings.
- Open Integrations.
- Locate Salesloft.
- Click Log In.
- Complete the Salesloft authentication process.
After signing in, you can begin exporting records from both the Cognism Web Application and the Cognism Chrome Extension.
What's next?
After connecting the integration, we recommend:
- Configure Salesloft Field Mappings.
- Test an export with a small number of records.
- Review the exported data in Salesloft before rolling the integration out to all users.
