Is it possible to change the mapping of the fields that are pulled in by Clay when importing from CRM? I'm finding I'm wasting a lot of credits enriching company websites, because Clay is not automatically pulling that in. The field is always null, even though it is filled out in our SFDC instance.

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫢 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table πŸ˜‰

    Hey Travers, you just need to run "Look up record from salesforce"

    It's free and would port it all of your SFDC info

    Interesting, I'm getting a blank "site variable" despite having websites mapped in SFDC.

    That's very odd, could you share the link to your table? happy to check out if there's anything else we can do to find a match

    https://app.clay.com/workspaces/102418/tables/t_akuZFtL6f9qZ/views/gv_9JkiH8LYEmbW "site" is null for all of them, was wondering if we could remap that

    Hey Colin P., could you take a quick look when possible, in case something isn't working properly with the integration? Thanks

    Travers N. can you check that the right "site" column is set to import? looking at these, it appears that there's one record that actually correctly pulls in a site (ciscomeraki.mx). is it possible that you created a custom "site" variable for that record only, but the rest of your records have "site" stored in a different variable? could even be that one of the "site" variables is labeled ​site​ (all lowercase) and the other is labeled ​Site​ (capital S)

    How would I change which variable is set to import?

    I'm also no longer seeing site at all as a variable when I import accounts from the CRM. Let me know what I'm missing. Am I able to edit what variables it pulls? And if so, where do I accomplish that?

    Travers N. you can modify what's imported from salesforce by setting up a new list view with exactly what you want to bring into clay, then selecting that list view as the source for your clay table! you're right that it's not a setting in clay; i should've been clearer that this is a configuration you set up in SFDC. as for this null issue: we're literally getting back null for site values directly from salesforce. here's a sample value SFDC gave us (i changed the company name, phone, owner name, id, and owner id to protect privacy, but this data is real):

           {
                "columns": [
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Name",
                        "value": "somecompanyname.ai"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Site",
                        "value": null
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "BillingState",
                        "value": "CA"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Phone",
                        "value": "+1 999-999-9999"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Type",
                        "value": "SDR Target Account"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Owner.Alias",
                        "value": "JDoe"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Id",
                        "value": "0123ABCDEFGHIJK"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "CreatedDate",
                        "value": "Fri Sep 22 00:57:07 GMT 2023"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "LastModifiedDate",
                        "value": "Thu Nov 23 16:37:57 GMT 2023"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "SystemModstamp",
                        "value": "Thu Nov 23 16:37:57 GMT 2023"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "Owner.Id",
                        "value": "9876543210ABCDDEFG"
                    },
                    {
                        "fieldNameOrPath": "OwnerId",
                        "value": "9876543210ABCDDEFG"
                    }
                ]
            }

    so the answer for this lies somewhere in your salesforce settingsβ€”we're just reporting the data, including site, exactly as salesforce is saying it is. i'm not a SFDC expert and your best bet for why your list view is returning null for site value / how your instance is configured would likely be their customer support. but if you want to hop on a call so we can at least give it a look together, here's my calendly! https://calendly.com/colin-parsons-clay/30-minute-chat?month=2023-12
