Contact Form Salesforce Integration

Thanks Victoria. We really don’t want to add more plugins as we’re already seeing performance hits with the ones we have.

Zapier also charges $20/month and some others require SalesForce account access when to do this we need only supply company ID and possibly campaign IDs.

Is updating the contact form element php file not an option?

For what it’s worth such an integration option would be a huge selling point for any of your themes.

Normally we’ve used an HTML form generated from SalesForce but it’s very work intensive creating the form in SalesForce and then styling it in the theme with custom CSS ( btw our custom CSS file after 4 years is a beast). If we could have the theme add the hidden fields to your contact form element, my client could quickly create campaigns and landing pages with forms on the fly using your built in contact forms.

Based on the number of paid plugins and solutions this feature addition could be a BIG selling point for enfold and other Kreisi themes. I’m assuming adding CRM integration features in general woukd add tremendous value.

Thanks!

Thanks Yigit,
We’re in the process of updating the contact.php file within the child theme. We’ve created a hidden field element and that’s allowing us to add the company ID for salesforce to pass with the form submission.

The only issue now is that we’re using the “select element” drop down menu for the form. And with each inquiry type we’re passing a variable to salesforce i.e. a campaign ID so salesforce knows where to route the contact form submission. Currently your contact form element for a dropdown “select element” take comma delimited string of inputs, e.g. “general inquiry, marketing inquiry, press inquiry, sales inquiry…” What we need is the ability to assign a variable to each selection and pass that to salesforce.

What would you recommend we do to accomplish the above. Is there a relatively easy solution for updating the contact.php file or functions.php file within the child theme?

Thank you!

PS
Whatever solution we find works well definitely share with you guys. :)

Thanks! Giving that a try.

Can you recommend where we can control passing variables in hidden fields to SalesForce?

We have updated the contact.php file to add the hidden field element to the form but don’t see where the send to option would appear. In past support posts you reference a send.php file although that was a few years ago and it doesn’t seem to exist now. Thanks!

Hi Basilis,
Thanks, I do have my developer working on this and yes it’s looking not time or cost effective to hack the theme to do this. Pending your response we’ve relinquished to using contact form 7 and hacking it to integrate its forms with SalesForce.

We’ll post our solution if it’s something relatively easy to do. Else we’ll hope such a solution is included in future releases of enfold. Btw I did up vote the feature request for enfold. ;)
