How linked records work

When a record in Channeltivity is synced with Salesforce, a link is created between the record in Channeltivity and the one in Salesforce. For example, if you have Channeltivity's Deal Registrations integration with Salesforce set to automatic and a Partner submits a new Deal Registration in Channeltivity, this automatically creates a Lead in Salesforce and then links the Deal Registration to that Lead. The concept of linking is used by all of Channeltivity's integration points with Salesforce.


To prevent data conflicts, we make sure that a) each record in Channeltivity can only be linked to a single record in Salesforce, and b) that each Salesforce record is not linked to more than one record in Channeltivity.


Why would I want to change a linked record?

There are a number of scenarios where you might want to change the linked Salesforce record of a Channeltivity Lead, Deal Registration, or Referral including:
