Why Connect Close to Salesforce?

Leads in Close and leads in Salesforce drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

Client engagement details in Close and time-tracking data in Salesforce do not align, making billing inaccurate

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Close uses a REST + Webhook API while Salesforce uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Manually copying data between Close and Salesforce wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Pipeline data in Close is not reflected in Salesforce, so sales forecasting relies on stale numbers

Task updates in Close are invisible to the team using Salesforce, leading to duplicated effort and missed deadlines

How We Help

Connecting Close (crm & sales) with Salesforce (crm & sales) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Financial Services businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and deals data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Close uses a REST + Webhook API with API key authentication, and Salesforce authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Maximise Billable Hours

When time-tracking and client data sync between Close and Salesforce automatically, your consultants spend more time on client work and less on admin.

Amplify Close Strengths

Close excels because built-in VoIP calling with call recording, voicemail, and power dialer means sales reps never leave the CRM to make or log calls. Connecting it to Salesforce ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Unified Leads Across Both Platforms

Leads in Close and leads in Salesforce stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between Close and Salesforce by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

A daily or weekly reconciliation job compares records across both platforms, flags discrepancies, and generates a mismatch report. Catches sync gaps before they become accounting headaches.
