Introduction

Keeping client information—email address, mailing address, even name—up to date across many systems takes time. The Salesforce integration allows you to keep this type of information in sync between Tamarac Reporting and Salesforce seamlessly.

Edit Name, Mailing Address, or State of Primary Residence

With this integration, you can change the following in either Salesforce or Tamarac Reporting and the change automatically update immediately to the other system:

Edit Account/Household Fields

On the Salesforce Account/Tamarac Reporting Household level, you can edit the following fields for immediate sync with no approval required:

Salesforce Field Tamarac Reporting Field
Account Name Name
Billing Address

Street Address, City, State/Province, Zip Code

Only lines 1 - 4 of the Street Address in Tamarac Reporting sync to Salesforce. Any information in lines 5 and 6 is not included in integration.

Edit Contact/Client Fields

On the Salesforce Contact/Tamarac Reporting client level, you can edit the following fields for immediate sync with no approval required:

Salesforce Field Tamarac Reporting Field
Name

First Name, Last Name

 

Middle Name/Initial

This field is not available by default in Salesforce. Enable this field to include in integration.

Middle Name/Initial

Approval is required to finalize changes to email address and Account/Household assignment.

Edit Client Email Address

When a client's email address changes, there are often many places you have to update that information. With this integration, email address changes propagate between Salesforce and Tamarac Reporting seamlessly, so you only have to worry about updating it in one place.

If you enabled Event integration, a completed Task is created documenting the change in the Contact record. Completed Tasks are only generated on the Contact level.

The Task includes:

Edit Email Address in Tamarac Reporting

When you edit an email address in Tamarac Reporting, in Salesforce in the Contact record, the email automatically syncs to match Tamarac Reporting when you change a client's email address in Tamarac Reporting.

Edit Email Address in Salesforce

When you change a client's email address in Salesforce, some extra confirmation is required before the change occurs in Tamarac Reporting, because Tamarac Reporting uses addresses for client portal login access.

Whenever you change a client's email address in Tamarac Reporting, the client receives an automatic email notifying them of the change. For information on changing a client's email address in Tamarac Reporting, see Creating a Client: The Client Profile Panel.

To confirm or reject the email address change:

  1. In Tamarac Reporting, under Accounts, click Clients/Client Portals.

  2. In the Action Required column, find the message that says, “Unsaved email change.”

  3. Open the corresponding client record.

  4. In the Client Profile panel, look for the Client has an unsaved email change... alert.

  5. Select either Accept email change or Reject email change.

  6. Click Save.

Edit Household or Account Assignment

The integration between Tamarac Reporting and Salesforce allows you to maximize efficiency and minimize errors by keeping Household information and assignments in sync seamlessly.

When you change Household assignment, approval is required before the change occurs because Household assignment impacts what accounts clients see in their client portals.

For more information on editing Household assignment in Tamarac Reporting, see Create and Maintain Households: The Clients Panel.

For details on what the integration does when you have various different Salesforce/Tamarac client and Household starting situations, see Impact of Editing an Account on Household Assignment.

If you enabled Event integration, a completed Task is created documenting the change in the Contact record. Completed Tasks are only generated on the Contact level.

The Task includes:

Edit Household Membership in Tamarac Reporting

When you move a client from one linked Household to another in Tamarac Reporting, the change in the corresponding linked Salesforce Account syncs automatically.

Edit Account Membership in Salesforce

When you move a Contact from one Account to another in Salesforce, the change in the corresponding Tamarac Reporting Household syncs, but you must approve the change before it is fully implemented in Tamarac Reporting because Household assignment impacts what accounts clients see in their client portals.

The Accounts must already exist in Salesforce and be linked to corresponding Households in Tamarac Reporting.

On the Clients/Client Portals page in the Action Required column, you see a message that says, “Unsaved household change.”

To confirm or reject Household assignment:

  1. Open the client record in Tamarac Reporting.

  2. In the Client Profile panel, look for the Client has an unsaved household change... alert.

  3. Select either the Accept household change or the Reject household change check box.

  4. Click Save.
