Fuzzy Look Up – Is when a record is sent over to Salesforce, it does a look up on the following:

  • Email

-OR-

  • First Name, Last Name and Address

-OR-

  • First Name, Last Name and Phone Number

 

Lookup Only – when a field is marked as “For Look up Only” and a record is sent to Salesforce, it will skip the Fuzzy look up above and only use this field to lookup and see if a record exists.  (Note – this field will not get update in Salesforce because it is meant to be static and exist in both systems.

 

Insert – will populate only new records

 

Update – will populate new records & overwrite existing records with the most recent data.

 

Unmapped Fields – if no updates should occur at all the field should not be mapped.
