Configure lead management for Salesforce

This article describes how to set up your Salesforce system to process sales leads from your offers in Microsoft AppSource and Azure Marketplace.

Note

Azure Marketplace doesn't support prepopulated lists, such as a list of values for the Country field. Make sure there are no lists set up before you continue. Alternatively, you can configure an HTTPS endpoint or an Azure table to receive leads.

Set up your Salesforce system

  1. Sign in to Salesforce.

  2. Navigate to the Web-to-Lead settings.

    If you're using the Salesforce lightning experience:

    1. Select Setup on the Salesforce home page.

  2. Select your offer, and go to the Offer setup tab.

  3. Under the Customer leads section, select Connect.

  5. Under Contact email, enter email addresses for people in your company who should receive email notifications when a new lead is received. You can provide multiple emails by separating them with a semicolon.

  6. Select OK.

To make sure you've successfully connected to a lead destination, select Validate. If successful, you'll have a test lead in the lead destination.
