Common Use Case for the Connector
Common use cases for the connector include the following:
-
Improve sales operations
Automate a workflow in which a Google Sheets spreadsheet is auto-populated every time a new lead is created in Salesforce. This sales team can then use the spreadsheet to collaborate on further research.
-
Enhance customer service
Catalog all incoming issues in a spreadsheet and set up automatic rules to alert the team when an issue starts approaching SLA deadlines.
-
Optimize HR processes
When a new candidate reaches out via an applicant tracking system such as Workday or Greenhouse, capture the candidate details in a spreadsheet so that other stakeholders can review and contact the appropriate candidates.
Next Step
After you complete the prerequisites, you are ready to create your own app and configure the connector using Anypoint Studio.
