Salesforce is one of the most popular customer management software on the market. Connecting it to your WordPress forms allows you to automatically add leads, customers, and other contacts to your CRM.

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily connect Salesforce to your WordPress forms.

Why Connect Salesforce to Your WordPress Forms?

Salesforce is one of the best CRM (customer relationship management) software on the market. Many of the world’s largest businesses use it to manage customers, leads, and business contacts from one single dashboard.

From there, you can follow up with customers to boost conversions and sales from your WordPress website.
