How to connect Bird to Salesforce

What you'll need
- An active Bird account with permission to install apps
- An active Salesforce account with API access enabled
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Salesforce to authorize the connection
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Bird
Click "Add Connection" and select Bird from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Bird's authorization page. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Authenticate Salesforce
Same process for Salesforce. Click "Add Connection," select Salesforce, and authorize access. Grant Arahi read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in bird or new contact created in salesforce. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create contact in salesforce. Map the data fields between Bird and Salesforce so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Bird and Salesforce. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
