How to connect Salesforce and Spike

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Salesforce and Spike nodes (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find the Salesforce node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. To add the Spike app to the workflow select the HTTP Request node and use the generic authentication method to make custom API calls to Spike. Configure Spike and Salesforce one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Salesforce and Spike

A connection establishes a link between Salesforce and Spike (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Salesforce and Spike integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Salesforce and Spike with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Salesforce and Spike workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Salesforce to Spike or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Build your own Salesforce and Spike integration

Create custom Salesforce and Spike workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

How to easily automate your Salesforce data import

Salesforce and other CRMs are built around the data they are being fed. This begs the question, where do we get this data from? Before switching to a CRM, it is common for organizations to have data pipelines of leads and customers stored in extant sources like spreadsheets and ERPs. These sources could store data that range from hundreds to billions. Thus, it is imperative that we explore some of the most efficient and effective ways to import data into Salesforce. And this is the crux of thi
