3. Field Mapping (New in version 1.261)

When the People.ai package is installed, the People.ai package fields are used automatically.

  • Mapping can be used to override the People.ai package fields to your local fields on the following Objects:

    • Account

    • Contact

    • Opportunity

    • Opportunity Contact Role

  • The fields in each Object can be mapped or unmapped as needed or preferred.

  • If a field requires mapping in your Org, all fields on that Object must be mapped.

    • Example: On the contact Object, both Number and Checkbox must both be mapped if one of the two fields requires mapping.

People.ai API Configuration

Configuring the APIs for People.ai allows your Organization to access additional People.ai product functionality

  • Follow the steps in the dialog:

  • Enable Integration - Toggle to enable integration

  • Remote Site Configuration

    • Configure or verify the Remote Site settings to ensure that the list contains:

    • API Authorization - Provide the API Key and API Secret

      • Generate a new API Key and API Secret from the AI-Powered Revenue Intelligence Platform People.ai webapp (link provided in modal) and enter both in the provided fields

 

 

  • Options - Select the user field that will be used when authorizing users against the People.ai API.

  • Identity Field:

    • Username - Salesforce username for the current Organization

    • Email - Email of the current User

    • SAML Federation ID - Standard Salesforce Field - (Useful for Sandboxes or scenarios where Username and/or Email does not represent the correct Authorization identity)

  • By default, Email field is used. If the User’s email does not match the People.ai username, change to SAML Federation ID

  • If necessary, you can create a new custom Text field, which will then be available here.

  • Click Verify and Save button

    • The process may take a few minutes

    • If the process is unable to Save, please refer to the error message and correct the configuration.
