Overview
With Salesforce and Whatfix integration, you can share data between applications to show contextual and targeted content to users.
Each Salesforce user has a unique username (email address) used to identify end-users at Whatfix.
Use cases
Here are some use cases that are possible using this integration:
- Show Pop-ups to users who have not taken the demo yet using a custom variable from the Opportunity object.
- Auto-trigger a Flow to users who are in the next billing cycle.
- Show content based on the users' lifecycle, department, lead type using variables from multiple objects.
- Check the search usage for users who have given an NPS score of 6 or less and get all unsuccessful search terms to selectively map the knowledge gaps.
- Track how new users are completing the onboarding tasks in the Task List and map the support tickets created by them.
- Check the usage of recently added features and their usage as part of the onboarding process.
- Track the usage and completion of tasks by your users and create a report on the Salesforce Dashboard.

Using User Attributes as Visibility Rules.
The main objective of Whatfix-Salesforce integration is to get data from Salesforce and map the available Salesforce fields as Whatfix User Attributes for segmentation purposes.
On completion of the first integration run, these attributes are available in the Visibility Rules section of widgets under the User Attribute condition.
To add User Attributes as Visibility Rules,
-
Navigate to the Visibility Rules section of any widget.
-
Select the User Attribute condition from the drop-down menu.
-
Select the Attributes you want as part of the Visibility Rules, and then enter its value.
-
Finish creating the widget.
