# Synchronize a Sitefinity CMS form with SalesForce contacts or leads

> important **IMPORTANT**: The Sitefinity SalesForce connector is deprecated and not supported. For more information, see [Deprecated capabilities in Sitefinity CMS](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/deprecated-capabilities-in-sitefinity-cms).

Perform this procedure, if in *Step 4* of [Configure a SalesForce synchronization](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/configure-a-salesforce-synchronization), you have selected *Form responses*.

1. Map Sitefinity CMS form with SalesForce contacts or leads.\
   This mapping is required.

   **EXAMPLE**: You can have thousands of SalesForce contact that are coming from many different Sitefinity CMS registration forms. In order to associate each contact with a particular Sitefinity CMS form, and then, for example, in SalesForce filter all contacts that are coming from this particular form.
2. Under *Sitefinity*, click \*Select…\*A list of all created Sitefinity CMS forms appear.
3. Select the form, whose form responses you want to synchronize with SalesForce and click *Done*.

   > **IMPORTANT**: This form must contain a field for the Last Name of the users, in case that you are syncing contacts, and fields for the Last Name and the Company of the user, in case that you are syncing leads, since these fields are mandatory in SalesForce.
4. Under *SalesForce* click Select…\
   Choose what type of data you want to sync - *Leads* or *Contacts*.
5. Under *Filter Contacts by field*, to associate a SalesForce contact or lead with a Sitefinity CMS form, you must specify a field for the SalesForce contact or lead that designates this contact or lead is synced from a Sitefinity CMS form.\
   For example, you can use an existing field for Leads, named *Website* and give it a value *mydomain.com*.\
   Thus, each SalesForce lead that results from a particular Sitefinity CMS form will have its *Website* field equal to *mydomain.com*. This way, in SalesForce, you can use the *Website* field to sort or filter contacts or leads coming from different Sitefinity CMS forms.
6. Click *Mapping settings* and map SalesForce fields to the existing fields in your Sitefinity CMS form. You do this by selecting a Sitefinity CMS form field from the dropdown to the relevant SalesForce field on the left.

   > info  **NOTE**: You need to map at least the required fields for contacts or leads but do not need to map all other fields.

   > info  **NOTE**: You can also map fields manually in the Advanced settings in Sitefinity CMS. For details, see the next section in this article.
7. Under *Schedule type*, choose an option to either automate the synchronization procedure to run in a specified time interval or do it manually by choosing the *Not scheduled* default option.
8. Click *Save*.

## Manual mapping SalesForce fields to Sitefinity CMS form fields

   You must enter the *Name for developers* of the field.

   > info  **NOTE**: In case you are mapping fields to a MVC form, as opposed to a Web Forms form,you must enter the *FieldName* of the field. To check the *FieldName* of each MVC form, open the for editing and navigate to *Advanced* » *Model* » *MetaField* » *FieldName*.

   To check the *Name for developers* of each Sitefinity CMS form field, perform the following:

   2. Click the *Edit* button of the field that you want to check.
   3. Expand *Advanced: Name for developers*.\
