User Visible and Behavior Changes

CRM Integration

  • CRM fields can now be mapped to more than one Align field in the inbound mapping

Features

CRM Integration

Mapping Picklists in CRM to Picklists in Align

Admins can map single select and multi select picklists in CRM to single select and multi select picklists in Align to import a picklist’s values, value labels, and label translations. This enables admins to single-source their picklist information in CRM, while also enabling easier and more accurate use of picklist values throughout Align.
