How does Terminus Engage integrate with Salesforce?1. Using Salesforce Data to Create Dynamic Advertising Audiences

The Engage advertising platform allows users to select accounts to target with digital advertising from

their Salesforce CRM data.

Here is an example of how your CRM data is used in the advertising audience builder:

Target ACCOUNTS where INDUSTRY = “Finance” and STATUS = ”Tier 1”

OR

Target OPPORTUNITIES where STAGE =”DEMO SCHEDULED”

The integration also allows users to set progression rules, which are automated triggers, based on updates

made on the Account object, that remove accounts from an active advertising tactic.

2. Pushing Data Back into SFDC for Sales Activation

While the advertising integration will only READ data from your Salesforce instance, Terminus’ Sales

Insights feature pushes account engagement data from Terminus back into Salesforce, enabling

salespeople to prioritize outreach by accounts that are aware of, most engaged with, and/or actively

researching their company’s offerings.

Sales Insights is an Salesforce package that surfaces data related to Terminus advertising, website

engagement, and Terminus’s Engagement Spike feature. For more information on the data available for

this package, please reference this support article.

How does the Engage advertising integration use data from Leads and Contacts in Salesforce, specifically?If you build an advertising tactic off of SFDC lead or contact data, Terminus Engage strips out any personally identifiable contact information, and only uses the company email domain (for example, rachel@terminus.com) and Company Name (if available) field to identify your desired target accounts.

Is a separate Salesforce user required for the advertising integration and/or the Sales Insights package install? No, customers can use their own Salesforce login and credentials to authenticate with Terminus Engage. The advertising integration will work as long as the user has access to the above mentioned objects in Salesforce.

However, we would strongly recommend that customers have a dedicated API user authenticate the advertis-ing integration and install the Sales Insights package, as you can easily control what this user has permission to in Salesforce. With this method you will always have a user with correct permissions available and isn’t subject to the person leaving the organization.

Does Terminus need Read and Write permissions? By default, Terminus advertising integration only needs READ access to use CRM data for account targeting.
