- If your users use Salesforce Classic, let them view data and update records manually by adding the Data Integration Rules related list to the page layouts for accounts, contacts, and leads.
- Assign object permissions to users.The object permissions required depend on the rule. For details, contact the data service provider.
- In Setup, use the Quick Find box to find Data Integration Rules.When a rule is activated, the following happens:When records are created, the rule looks for matches in the data service.On existing records, when users change the value of fields that are used in matching, the records are updated. Except for geocode rules, data integration rules never overwrite your data—data is added only to blank fields.Users can view rule status and update a specific record at any time.When the Update all records option is selected, a rule doesn’t necessarily run immediately after you edit the rule’s field mapping or confidence score. To run the rule immediately, deactivate the rule, change the settings, and reactivate the rule.
