How to Integrate Salesforce CRM With ProProfs Help Desk

 

ProProfs Help Desk is a ticketing system that helps you provide fast and efficient customer support. Salesforce is a CRM platform that enables you to manage your customer relationships and sales pipeline.

 

Integrating ProProfs Help Desk with Salesforce allows you to create and update Salesforce cases from your help desk dashboard, sync customer data between the two platforms, and streamline your workflows.

 

This guide will show you how to set up and use this integration to enhance your customer service and sales performance.

 

After the integration, your agents can do the following tasks from within a Help Desk ticket:

  • Create a corresponding Salesforce case
  • Set or change the case priority
  • Write a description for other operators
  • View the Salesforce case details
  • Transfer the case ownership
  • Add internal comments to the case

 

Here's what creating a case from a ticket will look like:
