Opportunity Contact Role Sync

These settings keep ClosePlan Stakeholders aligned with standard Salesforce Opportunity Contact Roles, and prevent duplicate or conflicting records.

image-20260624-091312.png

 

Two-way Opportunity Contact Roles Sync

Keeps Opportunity Contact Roles (OCR) and ClosePlan Stakeholders in sync automatically. Creating, updating, or deleting one will create, update, or delete the matching record on the other side.

When the sync is active, Opportunity Contact Roles (OCRs) on the Opportunity are propagated to the RoleField on the Stakeholder — and vice versa.

Role definitions — prerequisite for sync (Recommended)

  • For role values to sync correctly, the Role definitions in ClosePlan Picklist Values must match the Opportunity Contact Role (OCR) values in Salesforce. When both sides share the same role definitions, the role value is automatically synchronised in both directions.

One Contact, multiple Stakeholders

The same Contact can appear as a Stakeholder on different Opportunities or Account Maps, each with a different role (e.g. Budget Owner on one map, Champion on another). The sync does not update the Contact record itself — if it did, the Contact would end up with a single role applied across all instances, which would be incorrect.

 

Prevent Duplicate Contacts when Creating Opportunity Contact Roles (OCR)

Stops users or automated processes from creating an Opportunity Contact Role (OCR) for a Contact that's already referenced by another Contact Role on the same Opportunity.
This behavior will be enforced whether the Opportunity has a deployed ClosePlan or not.

 

Relationship Map behaviour

Stakeholders Always On Map 

When enabled, all Stakeholders exist on the map only — there is no Unmapped state. The Unmapped list is removed from the Stakeholders tab.

Caution — with this enabled, removing a Stakeholder from the map behaves the same as deleting it, which removes the Stakeholder from the Opportunity entirely.

When Disabled, it shows unmapped Stakeholders:

When Enabled - all Stakeholders are placed into the map:

  • Click New > select Data Type (for Title field select Text data type, for other fields - URL type)

  • Enter all requested data > click Next > and Save

image-20250220-144551.png

   

Make sure that mapped fields are able to receive the intended values properly. Options like max. length, picklist values, etc. should match the ClosePlan definition of the Stakeholder object.

If you are not sure, ask your System Administrator for assistance or send an email to support@people.ai

Picklist Values

Picklist Values define the options users can select for each Stakeholder Attribute. What is set up in the admin is what users will see and can choose when configuring or updating Stakeholder details.

Changes in Picklist Values will change the configuration in your administration Setup in Salesforce.

Any changes you want to make to Picklist Values must be made in the ClosePlan Application, not in Salesforce!
