Step 1: connect Salesforce to MadKudu

Note: only 1 Salesforce instance can be connected to MadKudu.

Log in to MadKudu app app.madkudu.com
Click on Integrations
Click on Salesforce
Choose an option to connect to Salesforce

Best practice: A specific unique Salesforce user (an Integration User) should be assigned for MadKudu and not using an employee user login to avoid having the connection with MadKudu break when the employee leaves the company. This will also allow you to monitor API calls and records updated by MadKudu.

With OAuth (preferred)

Click on the OAuth button.
You will be redirected to Salesforce. Follow the instructions give us access. You will be redirected back to MadKudu once done.

With Username / Password / Security Token (rare)

This setup is available but not recommended long-term as the password and security token expire regularly and break the connection between MadKudu and Salesforce.

To connect with Username / Password

Log in to your Salesforce account
Click on your name at the top right of the screen
Click on My Settings
Click on Personal in the left navigation bar

You should receive an email. Open your emails and find the Salesforce security token in the message

FAQ

1. Can I test MadKudu using my Salesforce Sandbox first?

MadKudu supports connections to Salesforce sandboxes but if you would like to use a Salesforce Sandbox, please reach out to the Solution Engineering team in charge of your implementation.

2. What OAuth scope does your application use?

Our OAuth application requests the following scopes:

api
full
refresh_token

In plain english, this means that the application will have permission to:

Perform requests on your behalf at any time
Access and manage your data

The OAuth flow will provide us with a refresh_token that is valid until explicitly revoked.

Importantly, the actions our application can take are limited to the permissions of the user who authorized it.

3. What Salesforce permissions do I need?

Please refer to this article

4. Can I restrict what data you can access on Lead/Contact/Account?

Yes. If your Contact/Lead/Account contains HR data, or anything you would like to restrict access to, you can restrict access to only the "relevant" fields on those objects. In this scenario, please contact your Customer Success Manager to decide what fields to give access to.

5. Does MadKudu ever create/delete records in Salesforce?

No. MadKudu does not create any new leads or delete any records. It also does not write to any field that was not created by MadKudu.

6. What data will this integration obtain from Salesforce?

We limit ourselves to the minimum information needed to run our predictions.

By default, MadKudu pulls the following objects (and their history) along with their standard attributes:

Lead
Contact
Account
Opportunity
Campaign
Campaign Member

7. Can MadKudu connect with Salesforce if we leverage Oauth?

Yes, MadKudu can connect with Salesforce Oauth. However, connecting to Sandbox accounts will require username/password credentials.

8. How do I know which SFDC user if currently connected to Madkudu?

Unfortunately, Madkudu does not expose that information yet. Please submit a ticket. Can you explain, if possible, what you're trying to achieve so that we can advise?
