Overview

The Navattic Salesforce integration uses a direct connection through Salesforce’s standard OAuth flow, connecting directly to your Salesforce instance using standard objects and custom fields.

​
Salesforce Configuration

​
Custom Object: Navattic Session

When connecting Salesforce to Navattic, you have the option to create a custom object called Navattic Session to track individual demo viewing sessions. This object includes:
  • Session ID (text, primary field)
  • Started At (datetime)
  • Full Name (text, 255 characters)
  • Email (text, 255 characters)
  • Duration (minutes) (number with 3 decimal places)
  • Steps Viewed (whole number)
  • Demos (text, 255 characters)
  • Flows (text, 255 characters)
  • Very Interested Areas (text, 255 characters)
  • Somewhat Interested Areas (text, 255 characters)
  • Not Interested Areas (text, 255 characters)
  • Opportunity (lookup to Opportunity)
  • Account (lookup to Account)
  • Contact (lookup to Contact)
  • Lead (lookup to Lead)

​
Integration User Requirements

The Salesforce user account that connects to Navattic needs specific permissions to sync demo engagement data.
The connected user must have Read and Edit access to:
  • Lead object
  • Contact object
  • Account object
  • Opportunity object
  • Navattic Session object (custom)
The user needs Read and Edit access to:Standard Fields:
  • Email (on Lead and Contact)
  • FirstName (on Lead and Contact)
  • LastName (on Lead and Contact)
  • Name (on Account and Opportunity)
  • Website (on Account)
  • Company (on Lead)
Custom Fields:
  • All Navattic custom fields listed above
  • API Enabled - This permission must be enabled on the user’s profile or permission set
  • View All Data (recommended) - Makes setup easier, though not strictly required
  • Modify All Data (recommended) - Makes setup easier, though not strictly required
During the initial connection, Navattic automatically creates a Permission Set that grants access to:
  • The Navattic Session custom object
  • All fields on the Navattic Session object
  • Full CRUD permissions on Lead, Contact, Account, and Opportunity objects
This permission set is automatically assigned to the connected integration user.
Option 1: Dedicated Integration User (Recommended)Create a dedicated Salesforce user specifically for the Navattic integration:
  • Clear audit trail of all Navattic activities
  • Easy to troubleshoot permission issues
  • Can be disabled without affecting other integrations
  • Doesn’t consume a regular user license (use Integration User license if available)
Setup steps:
  1. Create a new user with Integration User or regular license
  2. Assign a profile with API Enabled permission
  3. Grant the required object and field permissions
  4. Use this user to connect Navattic
Option 2: System Administrator UserUse your Salesforce admin account to connect:
  • Quick setup with no permission configuration needed
  • Guaranteed to have all required permissions
Disadvantages:
  • Less clear audit trail
  • All Navattic actions appear as admin actions
  • If admin leaves organization, integration may break

​
Setup Steps

1

Connect to Salesforce

In Navattic, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Salesforce and click Connect.Salesforce IntegrationYou’ll be redirected to Salesforce to authorize the connection. Choose:
  • Production for your live Salesforce instance
  • Sandbox for testing in a Salesforce sandbox environment
Log in with the user account that will serve as the integration user.Once you’ve connected your Salesforce account, a Playbook will be automatically created to send engagement data from demos to your Salesforce Opportunity, Leads, Contact, and Accounts.You can click view to manage the Playbook or refine the Audience filters.Salesforce Integration Connected
2

Review Custom Fields

After connecting, Navattic automatically creates the custom fields on your Salesforce objects. You can verify these were created by:
  1. In Salesforce Setup, go to Object Manager
  2. Select Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity
  3. Click Fields & Relationships
  4. Look for fields starting with “Navattic_”
3

Edit your Salesforce Object page

Navigate to your Salesforce object page that you’d like to edit (Opportunity, Lead, Contact, or Account). Select Edit Page under the Setup Menu.
Salesforce Opportunity page
Search for Dynamic Related List - Single in the Components search field.
Salesforce component list
Search for Navattic Session in the Related List field. Make sure that the Parent Record is set to the default Use This Opportunity (or the relevant Salesforce object).
Salesforce Navattic Session
Update the Related List Fields to show the following fields:
  • Email
  • Demos
  • Duration (minutes)
  • Full Name
  • Flows
  • Steps Viewed
  • Very Interested Areas
  • Somewhat Interested Areas
  • Not Interested Areas
  • Session ID

Configure Field Mappings

Go to the Salesforce integration settings in Navattic and set up field mappings to control which engagement data syncs to which Salesforce fields.See Field Mappings for detailed configuration options.
5

Set Up Playbooks

Create Playbooks to define when and how demo engagement data should sync to Salesforce.See Salesforce Integration for complete setup instructions.

​
Opportunity owner data

When a presentation is connected to a Salesforce opportunity, Navattic automatically looks up the opportunity owner in Salesforce and stores their details as custom properties on the session.
PropertyDescription
OpportunityOwnerEmailThe email address of the Salesforce user who owns the opportunity
OpportunityOwnerIdThe Salesforce user ID of the opportunity owner
These values are populated automatically — no additional configuration is required. They are included in webhook payloads and can be used in downstream workflows, such as routing notifications to the rep who owns the deal.
Opportunity owner data is only populated when a presentation share link has a Salesforce opportunity connected. See Present demos for instructions on connecting an opportunity to a share link.

​
Field guide: viewing Navattic sessions in Salesforce

Once your admin has completed the setup above, every demo session that originates from one of your share links is automatically logged as a Navattic Session record in Salesforce — no manual data entry required. Sessions only appear on an opportunity when your share link is connected to one at the time you create it. Without that connection, session data is still captured but won’t surface on the opportunity record. To connect a share link to an opportunity:
  • When sharing a demo through Launchpad, see Sharing demos for step-by-step instructions.
  • When creating a presentation for a live call, see Present demos.
Opening Launchpad directly from a Salesforce Opportunity page automatically pre-fills the Opportunity field — no searching required. This auto-fill stays active for every additional share link you create from that same page.

​
Find session data on the opportunity

Once a prospect views your demo, open the Opportunity record in Salesforce and scroll to the Navattic Sessions related list. Each row represents one individual viewing session — so if three people at the same account watch the demo, you’ll see three separate rows.

​
How to read each field

FieldWhat it tells you
Full NameThe name of the person who viewed the demo. Includes stakeholders who filled in the recipient form, even if they weren’t on your original invite list.
EmailThe email address of the viewer. Use this to identify new contacts and update your outreach.
Started AtThe date and time the session began. Use this to gauge recency and time your follow-up.
Duration (minutes)How long the viewer spent in the demo. Longer sessions typically signal stronger engagement.
Steps ViewedThe number of demo steps the viewer completed. Helps you understand how far they got and where drop-off may have occurred.
DemosWhich demo or demos the viewer explored during the session.
FlowsWhich flows within the demo the viewer clicked into.
Very Interested AreasTopics the viewer flagged as high interest. Lead with these in your next conversation.
Somewhat Interested AreasTopics the viewer showed moderate interest in. Worth addressing, but not the headline.
Not Interested AreasTopics the viewer skipped or flagged as low priority. Avoid spending call time on these.
OpportunityThe Salesforce Opportunity this session is linked to.
AccountThe Account associated with the linked Opportunity.
ContactThe Contact record matched to the viewer’s email, if one exists.
LeadThe Lead record matched to the viewer’s email, if one exists and no Contact match was found.
Session IDA unique identifier for this session. Share this with support if you ever need to troubleshoot a specific viewing event.

​
Plays to run

Before any follow-up call, open the Navattic Sessions related list on the opportunity and note the Very Interested Areas for each viewer. Structure your agenda around those topics first — your prospect has already told you what they care about.Check Not Interested Areas so you know what to skip. Spending time on areas a prospect explicitly deprioritized can stall momentum.
If you see a Full Name or Email you don’t recognize, the demo was likely forwarded internally. That’s a buying signal — someone on your contact’s team is doing their own research.Add that person as a contact on the opportunity and reach out directly. Multithreading early reduces the risk of a single point of failure in the deal.
Use the Started At field to follow up while the demo is still fresh. A same-day or next-day message referencing what the prospect explored tends to get a much higher response rate than a generic check-in.See When to share demos for more guidance on timing your outreach.
If an opportunity has gone quiet and you see no new sessions in the past two weeks, it’s a good time to re-engage. Create a fresh share link focused specifically on the prospect’s Very Interested Areas from their last session, and send it with a short, personalized note.A targeted demo link gives the prospect a low-friction reason to re-engage without requiring them to join a call.
If the Navattic Sessions related list isn’t visible on your opportunity records, ask your Salesforce admin to add it by following the setup steps on this page.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Connection Fails with “Insufficient Permissions”

Cause: The Salesforce user doesn’t have API Enabled permission. Solution:
  1. Go to Salesforce Setup > Users > Profiles
  2. Find the user’s profile and edit it
  3. Ensure “API Enabled” is checked under System Permissions
  4. Save and retry the connection

​
Custom Fields Not Created

Cause: The user may lack Modify Metadata permission or field creation is restricted. Solution:
  1. Use a System Administrator account to connect initially
  2. Custom fields will be created automatically
  3. You can then adjust permissions and reconnect with a different user if needed

​
Data Not Syncing to Salesforce

Cause: Field-level security may be preventing writes to custom fields. Solution:
  1. Go to Salesforce Setup > Object Manager
  2. Select the affected object (Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity)
  3. Click Fields & Relationships
  4. For each Navattic custom field, click the field name
  5. Click “Set Field-Level Security”
  6. Ensure the integration user’s profile has “Visible” and “Editable” checked
  7. Save changes

​
”Record Locked” or “Unable to Lock Row” Errors

Cause: Salesforce record locking during high-volume updates. Solution:
  • These errors are typically temporary and Navattic will retry
  • If persistent, check for workflow rules or validation rules that may be causing conflicts
  • Consider adjusting the timing of your Playbook triggers to spread out updates

​
Permission Set Assignment Fails

Cause: User already has maximum number of permission set assignments. Solution:
  1. In Salesforce Setup, go to Users > Permission Sets
  2. Find “Navattic Permission Set”
  3. Manually assign it to the integration user
  4. Or consolidate other permission sets if the user has reached the limit

​
Security Considerations

​
OAuth Token Storage

Navattic stores OAuth tokens securely and uses them only to sync data according to your configured Playbooks. Tokens are:
  • Encrypted at rest
  • Only used for authorized API operations
  • Automatically refreshed when needed
  • Revocable at any time from Salesforce

​
Data Access

The integration only:
  • Reads data needed to match visitors to Leads/Contacts
  • Writes engagement data to fields you’ve mapped
  • Never modifies other Salesforce data
  • Respects your Salesforce sharing rules and permissions

​
Disconnecting the Integration

To disconnect Navattic from Salesforce:
  1. In Navattic: Go to Settings > Integrations > Salesforce and click Disconnect
  2. In Salesforce: Go to Setup > Connected Apps OAuth Usage to view and revoke the connection
Custom fields created during setup will remain in Salesforce but will no longer receive updates from Navattic.
