Salesforce Integration with Otter.ai
Integrate Salesforce with Otter.ai to associate valuable conversation data between the two systems. Otter.ai will sync your team's conversations with the appropriate Account, Opportunity, Contact, and Lead in Salesforce.
You have the option to connect Salesforce only to your account (anyone can connect) or connect Salesforce for your entire Workspace (Admin required).
- Connect Salesforce only to your Otter account (Member)
- Connect Salesforce to your entire Otter Workspace (Admin Required)
Integration Overview
Once connected, Otter will automatically look for conversations with the following criteria and label them as a ‘Sales’ call, to sync them over to Salesforce. The following are the criteria for a conversation to be tagged as a 'Sales' call.
- Conversations recorded from a calendar event*
- Calendar event has an external guest (i.e., guests outside your Otter Workspace)
*Conversations can be recorded with OtterPilot (recommended) or by manually starting a recording and selecting the calendar event.
Otter will sync Sales Insights to the appropriate Account, Opportunity, Contact, and Lead in Salesforce. Review synced Otter conversations:
- In Salesforce, click on Contact (Sales Insights can also be found through Account, Opportunity, or Lead).
- On the right side panel under the Activity tab, look or filter for your meeting Task (
). The Task name will reflect the Otter conversation name for easy lookup.
Note: A new Task is created when Otter syncs the Sales Insights to Salesforce. - Click on the Task.
- Begin reviewing the meeting conversation. Learn more about what is synced to Salesforce.
The following Otter conversation elements will be synced to Salesforce to help expedite your post-meeting workflow:
- Otter conversation name is populated in both Otter and Salesforce for easy lookup
- Owner of the conversation
- Date of the meeting
- One-click link back to the Otter conversation
- Participant of the meeting conversation
- Summary of the conversation
- Sales Insights
- Custom Insights
-
Action Items
Note: Only Insights and Action Items generated or created during the meeting will be synced to Salesforce. Post-meeting changes do not sync over at this time.
