Loom's Salesforce integration allows your Sales and Marketing teams to gain better insight into how their videos are performing directly in Salesforce at the Lead, Contact, and Opportunity levels. 👀
Please Note
Our Salesforce integration is currently in a Private beta for users on Loom's Enterprise plan. To enable the integration in Loom, you need to be an Admin in your Workspace. To enable it in Salesforce, you'll need to be a Salesforce Admin. These Admins do not need to be the same person. To use the integration, you'll need to be a Member of a Loom Entperise workspace and a Salesforce user.
In some cases, your Salesforce workspace settings may prevent you from integrating your Loom Workspace with Salesforce. We are working on an AppExchange application to address this issue. We currently provide support for Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer versions of Salesforce.
