How They Work Together
Cadence enrollment from CRM
Reps add Salesforce leads and contacts to Salesloft cadences directly from CRM. Contact data flows to Salesloft, and cadence progress syncs back to Salesforce.
Activity logging
Every Salesloft touchpoint — emails sent, calls made, replies received — logs automatically to the corresponding Salesforce record. Managers see complete activity history without relying on rep data entry.
Pipeline creation tracking
Salesloft tracks which cadences and touchpoints generated pipeline. This attribution data syncs to Salesforce opportunities, showing which outbound sequences create revenue.
Lead routing
New Salesforce leads can trigger automatic Salesloft cadence enrollment based on lead source, territory, or score. This ensures inbound leads get immediate outreach.
Setup Considerations
Map Salesloft person fields to Salesforce lead/contact fields before enabling sync. Mismatched field mappings cause data quality issues that are painful to fix retroactively.
Decide whether Salesloft activities create Salesforce tasks, events, or both. Most teams use tasks for emails and events for calls/meetings to keep the activity timeline clean.
Salesloft's Salesforce managed package requires admin installation. The connector needs specific Salesforce API permissions and custom field access.
If you have Salesforce validation rules or triggers, test them with Salesloft sync before rolling out. Strict validation rules can block Salesloft from updating records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Salesloft better than Salesforce's built-in email tools?
For outbound sales, yes. Salesforce's native email capabilities are basic — no multi-step cadences, limited templates, no A/B testing. Salesloft is purpose-built for outbound sequences with call tasks, social touches, and detailed engagement analytics.
How much does Salesloft cost on top of Salesforce?
Salesloft pricing starts around $125/user/month for the base plan. Enterprise plans with advanced analytics and coaching features run $165+/user/month. This is on top of your Salesforce licensing.
Can Salesloft replace Salesforce for activity tracking?
No. Salesloft tracks outbound engagement activities, but Salesforce remains the system of record for deals, pipeline, forecasting, and reporting. They serve complementary functions.
