Frequently Asked Questions about Planning Center + Salesforce integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Planning Center and Salesforce

How do I connect Planning Center with Salesforce?

To connect Planning Center with Salesforce, you first need to set up an integration platform account like Zapier. Once logged in, you can create a 'Zap,' which acts as a connection between the two apps. Choose Planning Center as the trigger app and Salesforce as the action app, allowing data to flow based on specific triggers like new people or donations in Planning Center.

What triggers are available when integrating Planning Center with Salesforce?

When integrating Planning Center with Salesforce, available triggers include 'New Person Added,' 'New Donation,' and 'Updated Profile' in Planning Center. These triggers allow you to automatically push the information into Salesforce and update records or create new ones.

Can I update Salesforce records from Planning Center automatically?

We recommend checking each system’s documentation for any specific limitations related to custom fields or complex data types.

How frequently does data sync between Planning Center and Salesforce?
