pretalx-salesforce 0.1.0

Send speaker and proposal information to SalesForce

This is a plugin for pretalx that serves to send speaker and proposal information to SalesForce.

Information is sent every eight hours or on manual sync, and is mapped as follows:

• Users and their speaker profiles are sent as contacts:

  • Contact.pretalx_LegacyID__c is set to the pretalx user ID

  • Contact.FirstName is set to the first part of a user’s name, separated by whitespace.

  • Contact.LastName is set to any remaining part of a user’s name.

  • Contact.Email is set to the user’s email address.

  • Contact.Biography__c is set to the user’s biography.

  • Contact.pretalx_Profile_Picture__c is set to the user’s profile picture URL.

• Submission objects are set synced to the custom Session object:

  • CreatedDate is set to the submission’s creation date.

  • pretalx_LegacyID__c is set to the submission’s pretalx ID.

  • Name is set to the submission’s title.

  • Session_Title__c is the submission’s full title, as Name is truncated to 80 characters.

  • Track__c is set to the submission’s track (by name, not by ID).

  • Submission_Format__c is set to the submission’s type (by name, not by ID).

  • Status__c is set to the submission’s status.

  • Abstract__c is set to the submission’s abstract plus the submission’s description, separated by two newlines and then stripped of whitespace.

  • Pretalx_Record__c is set to the submission’s public URL.

• The mapping between Contacts and Sessions is synced to the custom Contact_Session__c object:

  • Contact__c is set to the Salesforce Contact.

  • Session__c is set to the Salesforce Session.
