The Tackle for Salesforce integration relies on a smooth flow of data between your Tackle and Salesforce systems. As you prepare to go live with your integration, or if you’re experiencing connection errors, here are some tools and troubleshooting solutions to help you test and troubleshoot your integration’s connection.

Test your Tackle for Salesforce integration connection

Before you go live, take a moment to test your integration’s connection. This will help you achieve a smooth and confident transition with all your integration’s field mappings and main operations checked and confirmed.

Once your Salesforce sandbox org and Tackle test account are connected, you will be able to view the connection status and details in both Tackle Platform and the Salesforce Setup tab.

Test your connection in the Tackle platform

  1. Log into Tackle. In the left menu, click Integrations.

  2. Find the card titled Tackle for Salesforce and look at the connection status badge in the top right:

    The Tackle for Salesforce card on the Tackle integrations page. Description reads, "Manage co-sell registration, offer creation and Prospect scoring right from Salesforce. A Tackle user role with access to Integrations is required for your Salesforce admin."

    • If you have not set up your integration yet, then the connection badge on your Tackle for Salesforce card status will be labeled “Not Connected” and you will be able to navigate to AppExchange from the card to download the app integration.

    • If your integration is connected, the badge will be labeled “Connected”. You can click View Details to see more details about your connected Salesforce Org, Connecting Salesforce User (also known as your integration user), the connection Status with date and time it was last checked, and the Salesforce Environment your integration is connected to.

      In most cases, your connection Status is checked every five minutes.

    • If your integration is experiencing an error, the badge will display that there is an error. You can view the connection details to learn more about the issue.

Test your connection in Salesforce

  1. Log in to Salesforce as a Salesforce administrator and click the menu button to open the App Launcher.

  2. Search for “Tackle for Salesforce”, then click on the Tackle for Salesforce app in your search results to go to the integration setup tab.

    The Salesforce App Launcher. In the search bar, the user has begun to search for "Tackle for Salesforce". In the search result, the first result is highlighted for the app "Tackle for Salesforce".

  3. On your Tackle Integration setup panel, you can view more details about your connected Tackle Org, Connecting Salesforce User (also known as your integration user), the connection Status with date and time it was last checked, and the Salesforce Environment your integration is connected to.

    In most cases, your connection Status is checked every five minutes.

Tackle Widget connection status

You might also learn about connection problems from the Tackle Widget on your Opportunity page, which was installed as part of our installation guide. If you’re having connection issues, the Tackle Widget will show the message “The Tackle app is installed, but not connected to Tackle.”

An error message on the Tackle widget with the following text: "The Tackle app is installed, but not connected to Tackle. Reach out to your Salesforce Admin, and ask them to reconnect to Tackle."

If you see this message in your widget unexpectedly, contact your Salesforce Admin to reconnect to Tackle. Your Salesforce Admin may also need to consult our Tackle for Salesforce troubleshooting guide.

Disconnect and reconnect your Tackle for Salesforce integration

If you’re experiencing connection errors, one possible solution is to disconnect your integration so you can reconnect it.

You will also need to disconnect your integration if you’ve accidentally connected your Tackle for Salesforce integration between the wrong Salesforce org or the wrong Tackle account in your organization. This is because the Tackle for Salesforce integration must connect only one Salesforce org to one Tackle account at a time.

  1. Log in to Salesforce as a Salesforce administrator and click the menu button to open the App Launcher.

  2. Search for “Tackle for Salesforce”, then click on the Tackle for Salesforce app in your search results to go to the integration setup tab.

    The Salesforce App Launcher. In the search bar, the user has begun to search for "Tackle for Salesforce". In the search result, the first result is highlighted for the app "Tackle for Salesforce".

  3. Below the Tackle Integration setup panel, click Disconnect from Tackle.

Now that your integration is disconnected, follow our installation steps Connect your Tackle and Salesforce accounts to get your integration up and running again between the correct Tackle account and Salesforce org.
