How does Sign In Scheduling work with existing data in Salesforce?
Sign In Scheduling can sync customers and events into your Salesforce instance. As noted earlier, Sign In Scheduling can synchronize customers as contacts, leads or opportunities. Sign In Scheduling will attempt to use existing objects in Salesforce before creating new ones.
Whenever a customer is created or updated in Sign In Scheduling, they'll be automatically synced into your Salesforce Instance as either a contact, lead or opportunity, depending on your settings.
Sign In Scheduling creates an extra column in the Object Manager within your Salesforce Instance called TTECustomerExtID__c, which it uses to track which customer in Sign In Scheduling corresponds to each contact, lead or opportunity in Salesforce.
When a customer is created or updated, Sign In Scheduling does the following:
It looks for an existing contact, lead or opportunity with the same TTECustomerExtID__c field value, and if it finds one, uses it.
If step 1 fails - (for contacts and leads) it looks for an existing contact or lead that has the same email address as the customer. If this works, it sets the TTECustomerExtID__c field on that object and uses it.
If step 2 fails - (for opportunities) it looks for an existing opportunity with the same name as the customer. If this works, it sets the TTECustomerExtID__c field on that object and uses it.
If steps 1, 2, and 3 all fail, then it creates a new contact, lead or opportunity for the customer, and sets the TTECustomerExtID__c field.
By using the TTECustomerExtID__c field, Sign In Scheduling can select a particular contact, lead or opportunity, and once it starts syncing to that particular record, it will continue to sync to it. You can manually override this and force Sign In Scheduling to sync to another record by modifying the TTECustomerExtID__c field values in your Salesforce Instance.
Whenever an event is created, updated, or canceled in Sign In Scheduling, this is also automatically synced into your Salesforce Instance. The event will appear as an Activity against the contact, lead or opportunity. When an event is canceled in Sign In Scheduling, it is deleted from Salesforce.
Sign In Scheduling selects a Salesforce user to be the owner of the event by searching your Salesforce instance for any users that have the same email address as the staff member attending the booking in Sign In Scheduling.
