How to Integrate Cognism with Salesloft

This Cognism Salesloft integration guide explains how to set up the integration, configure field mappings, and export contacts from Cognism. 

With admin-led setup and user authentication, teams can seamlessly sync data and manage outreach workflows in Salesloft.

Export contacts from Cognism to Salesloft

The integration is admin-led. An admin must enable the integration and configure field mappings before other users can log in and export data. 

How exports behave by default

When you export a prospect to Salesloft, and the default field mappings are unchanged:

• If no existing Person or Account is found in SalesLoft, Cognism creates a new Person and Account.  
• If a matching record exists, Cognism exports data based on your configured mappings. 

You can change this behaviour by updating Salesloft field mappings.

What the Salesloft integration supports

Once enabled, the Salesloft integration allows:

• Single and bulk exports of contacts to Salesloft  
• Exports from the Cognism web application and Chrome Extension  
• Centralised management of integration settings in the web application 

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure:

• You are an admin in Cognism (for initial setup)  
• You have Salesloft login credentials  
• Field mappings are reviewed before users begin exporting 

Enable the Salesloft integration (admin)

Only admin users can enable and configure the integration.

1. Go to Settings in the left-hand menu.

2. Select Integrations > Salesloft > Connect Integration

3. Select Log in to Salesloft
4. Enter your Salesloft credentials > Sign in 

5. To complete the setup, the admin must review and configure field mappings.

If you are already logged in to Salesloft in your browser, you may not be prompted again.

After successful authentication, you are redirected back to Cognism and see a confirmation message.

Log in to the Salesloft integration (users)

Once the admin has enabled the integration, individual users must log in using their own Salesloft credentials.

1. Open the Cognism browser extension.
2. Select the Settings icon in the side navigation.
3. Go to Integrations > Salesloft > Log in.  

4. Sign in to Salesloft if prompted. 

After login, you can begin exporting and syncing contacts from Cognism to Salesloft.
