What does data mapping enable?

Data mapping between your CRM system and Vainu is an essential part of Vainu's native CRM integrations and required for you to be able to:

  • Export companies to CRM. Select which CRM data fields are added or enriched when you export a company from Vainu to your CRM.
  • Keep CRM data up-to-date with automatic or manual updates. Select which CRM fields are updated automatically in real time when the information for the company changes. This is to maintain a reliable database and avoid manual data projects.
    Note! Automatic update is only available for Account/Company/Organization.

CRM picklist values included for mapping

When the CRM field you've selected includes picklist options, Vainu automatically detects all the available values in the picklist and includes them for selection. For example, if you need to define the source for companies exported from Vainu to your CRM, you can use a predefined value, such as "Offline sources," in your CRM's Lead Source field.

Picklist

Possibility to add custom text to your data fields

In most cases, the picklist option should already give you the option you're after. However, in more complex cases, you can map data fields in your CRM with custom text to add context or important information to your data updates. For example, if you’re monitoring accounts to launch account-based marketing campaigns, you can update a data field in your CRM object with custom text saying “ABM campaign Q3/2021.”
