Znuny & Salesforce Integration Extension – Sync Contacts, Cases and Activities

Summary: The Znuny & Salesforce Integration Extension connects your service desk with Salesforce CRM. Using Salesforce APIs, it synchronizes Contacts, Cases, and Activities, so customer data, support tickets, and conversation history are aligned between support agents in Znuny and sales teams in Salesforce.

Why This Integration Matters

Customer data should not live in silos. Support teams need CRM context, while sales and account managers need visibility into open issues. The Znuny–Salesforce Integration ensures tickets, contacts, and cases stay connected, improving collaboration and decision-making.

  • Unified customer view
    support agents see Salesforce Contacts and Accounts directly in Znuny
  • Case synchronization
    Znuny tickets sync with Salesforce Cases
  • Activity tracking
    conversations and notes are stored as Salesforce Tasks or Activities
  • Better collaboration
    sales and service teams share customer insights

What Does the Integration Offer?

The extension creates a two-way bridge between Znuny tickets and Salesforce CRM objects via the Salesforce REST API.

  • sync Znuny tickets into Salesforce as Cases
  • create or update Contacts automatically when new customers open tickets
  • link Znuny ticket articles as Salesforce Tasks or Activities
  • push ticket status and resolution into Salesforce for sales visibility
  • fetch Salesforce Account details into Znuny for full context

Key Features:

  • Contact synchronization
    align Salesforce Contacts with Znuny customers
  • Case linking
    support tickets are mirrored as Salesforce Cases
  • Activity capture
    ticket conversations become Salesforce Tasks/Activities
  • Bidirectional updates
    status changes flow between Salesforce and Znuny
  • Role-based access

Why Use Znuny–Salesforce Integration?

This extension empowers sales and service alignment:

  • 360° customer insight
    all teams see the same Contacts, Cases, and Activities
  • Stronger collaboration
    sales knows about open issues, support sees customer value
  • Traceability
    tickets tracked from first report to Salesforce resolution
  • Faster response
    agents use CRM context to personalize support

Workflow Example
