For Product Managers, customer feedback often lives in siloed support tickets or sales notes within your CRM. The Shorter Loop Salesforce Integration breaks down these silos by creating a direct, one-way link from Salesforce to your product backlog.By syncing Salesforce Cases directly into Shorter Loop as Feedback Issues, you gain immediate visibility into customer pain points without needing a Salesforce license. Empower your product team to make data-driven decisions based on real customer evidence.
Why Integrate Salesforce?#
1. Centralize Customer Feedback#
Automatically convert support tickets (Cases) into actionable Issues within Shorter Loop’s Feedback Manager. No more copy-pasting or chasing down emails.2. Know Your Customer#
We don't just import the text; we bring the context. The integration syncs:Accounts → Organizations: See which companies are requesting features.
Contacts → Users: Identify the specific individuals behind the feedback.
3. Prioritize with Revenue Impact#
By linking feedback to actual Salesforce Accounts, you can easily see which features are requested by your highest-value customers, helping you prioritize high-impact roadmap items.

No. Only the account used to set up the connection needs access. Once synced, your entire product team can view the feedback in Shorter Loop without logging into Salesforce.Which Cases are imported?#
By default, the initial import brings in open cases. You can configure filters in your Salesforce Webhook (Step 3) to strictly control which future cases are sent to us (e.g., only cases with "Feature Request" type).Can I link multiple Salesforce instances?#
Currently, Shorter Loop supports connecting one Salesforce instance per workspace to ensuring data consistency.How secure is my data?#
