1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Salesforce Leads

To start automating the posting of new Salesforce leads to Microsoft Teams, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect dashboard at Pabbly.com/connect. From there, you can create a free account and log in to access the dashboard.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation. Give your workflow a suitable name, such as ‘Salesforce to Microsoft Teams Automation’, and click the ‘Create’ button to proceed. This workflow will allow you to automate the process of sending new lead details from Salesforce to your Microsoft Teams channels.

2. Configuring the Salesforce Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger that will initiate the workflow. Select Salesforce as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be set to ‘New Lead’, which means that every time a new lead is added in Salesforce, the automation will be activated.

After selecting the trigger, connect your Salesforce account by clicking ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to allow Pabbly Connect access to your Salesforce account. Once connected, you will be prompted to enter your instance URL, which can be found in your Salesforce account settings under ‘Company Information’. After entering the instance URL, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful.

3. Sending Messages to Microsoft Teams via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the Salesforce trigger, the next step is to configure the action that sends messages to Microsoft Teams. In Pabbly Connect, select Microsoft Teams as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Send Message in a Channel’ to direct the lead details to a specific channel in Teams.

Click ‘Connect’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Microsoft Teams account. Once connected, select the team and channel where you want the new lead details to be posted. You can create a standard message template that includes a greeting and the lead details, using the mapped fields from the Salesforce trigger.

• Select the appropriate team in Microsoft Teams.
• Choose the channel where the message will be sent.
• Map the lead details from Salesforce to your message.

After mapping the lead details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the message is sent successfully to your selected Microsoft Teams channel. You should see the message appear in Teams with the lead information populated correctly.

4. Finalizing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

With the trigger and action set up, your automation is almost complete. Review the entire workflow in Pabbly Connect to ensure everything is correct. You only need to set up this automation once, and it will run automatically whenever a new lead is added in Salesforce.

This seamless integration means that your team will be notified immediately in Microsoft Teams whenever a new lead comes in, saving you time and improving productivity. After testing the setup, you can start using your automation without any manual input.
