Zoom on Salesforce action: Find Record

ⓘ If the data field you're looking for is not available in Zapier, we recommend that you reached out to the app editor (aka Salesforce) or the person who set up your Salesforce account)

7. The first action you need to add is the 'Find Record', then go ahead and set it up

8. Let's finalize today the 'Find Record' action

• (#1) First, select the right type of 'Object' (Whether it's an Opportunity, a Contact, a Custom Object. etc), Salesforce should automatically display this information

• (#2) Then, select the field that allow you to search for the related field in Salesforce

E.g; If you want to use email to identify the related object, then email should be selected on both apps for matching purposes;

• (#3) Select the value of the field on Clustdoc

• Add the second action 'Create attachment' and set up this specific action

• Select the field containing the file to be sent. It will always be the field called 'Attachment'

• As seen above, select the Salesforce 'Object' that must be updated
