Understanding Import Rules

In this guide we will look at:

• what import rules are, and
• how to view import rules.

What are import rules?

Import rules form a set of constraints that determine which records (Lead or Contact) will be imported from Salesforce into a Saleswhale Campaign. 

By default, we will only import leads that do not have a Saleswhale Status or where the Saleswhale Status is "Unsynced." We also only import leads with a first name and an email address.

Our import rules can handle string/boolean comparisons as well as relative time ranges.

Based on the rules above, Saleswhale will only import leads that

• are from the Salesforce Object "Lead"

     AND

• from Lead Source "LinkedIn Ads" or "Facebook Ads"

     AND

• were cherry picked

     AND

• were created within the last 2 days.
