Field mappings determine which Cognism data is transferred into Salesloft when People and Accounts are exported. You can customise these mappings to match your Salesloft data model and define how existing records should be handled.
Field mappings are configured centrally in the Cognism Web Application and apply to exports from both the Web Application and the Cognism Chrome Extension.
Before you begin
Before configuring field mappings:
- You must be a Cognism Administrator.
- The Salesloft integration must already be connected.
- You must be signed in to Salesloft.
Open the field mapping settings
- Click your profile avatar.
- Select Settings.
- Open Integrations.
- Locate Salesloft.
- Click the Settings (cog) icon next to Log Out.
From here, you can configure your General Settings, Person mappings and Account mappings.
General Settings
General Settings control how Cognism handles existing records when a match is found in Salesloft.
You can choose whether Cognism should:
- Update an existing Person.
- Update the related Account.
- Update both the Person and Account.
These options help prevent duplicate records while ensuring existing data stays up to date.
Person field mappings
When a new Person is created, Cognism can populate fields including:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Mobile Phone
- Home Phone
- Office Phone
- Company
- Job Title
- Job Seniority
- Industry
- LinkedIn URL
- Twitter Handle
- Person Location
- Work Location
- Company Website
- Do Not Call status
- Record Owner
Only fields with available Cognism data will be populated.
Account field mappings
When creating a new Account, Cognism can populate:
- Company Name
- Domain
- Conversational Name
- Website
- Company Size
- Industry
- LinkedIn URL
- Company Type
- Address
- Locale
- Phone Number
- Year Founded
Only available Cognism data is exported.
Static values
If you want newly created records to contain fixed values (such as assigning all new records to a specific Salesloft Owner), configure these as additional mappings within Salesloft or by using custom field mappings in Cognism where available.
Best practice
Before making the integration available to all users:
- Review your Person and Account mappings.
- Confirm that mapped fields correspond to the correct Salesloft fields.
- Test the configuration by exporting a small number of records.
- Verify that the exported data appears as expected before performing large exports.
