What you can do with Salesforce in Sylus
Sylus lets sales leaders and RevOps teams get answers from Salesforce without building reports. Ask "What is our pipeline by stage and owner this quarter?" or "Which deals over $50K haven't moved in 30 days?" and get an answer, chart, or dashboard. Custom objects and fields are supported.
How the Salesforce integration works
Sylus connects to Salesforce with OAuth and read-only access, then reads standard and custom objects such as opportunities, leads, accounts, and activities through the Salesforce REST and Bulk APIs. Sylus only sees what the connecting user can see, so your Salesforce sharing rules and field-level security still apply.
