• Select the workbook named ‘Salesforce Lead’.
• Choose the worksheet, typically ‘Sheet1’.
• Map the fields such as first name, last name, and email address to the corresponding Salesforce fields.

Once the mapping is complete, you can save the configuration. This setup ensures that every time a new lead is added in Excel, Pabbly Connect retrieves that data and prepares it for Salesforce.

After successfully mapping the lead details, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. This action will be to create a new lead in Salesforce using the mapped details from Excel. The action application will be Salesforce, and the event will be ‘Create Lead’.

To connect Salesforce to Pabbly Connect, you will need to authorize access to your Salesforce account. After allowing access, you can proceed to fill in the lead details using the mapped information from Excel. This includes mapping fields like first name, last name, email, and any other relevant details.

5. Verifying the Lead Creation in Salesforce

Once all the required fields are filled and mapped, you can click on the ‘Save and Test’ button. This action will create a new lead in Salesforce based on the details provided from your Excel sheet. The response will confirm whether the lead was created successfully.

To verify, navigate to your Salesforce account and check the Leads section. You should see the newly created lead with all the details filled in, confirming that the integration through Pabbly Connect has worked as intended.
