9. FAQs


1. I'm trying to integrate Airmeet into our Salesforce est environment. The installation of the package in Salesforce was successful. But I get an error when trying to connect it to Airmeet.


Only the Community manager's email id will work in the salesforce. Otherwise, it would show the error.



2. Can we filter/choose which Airmeet is synced with Salesforce?

As of now, it is not possible to disable the same for a particular event.




10. Things to keep in mind


  • When adding contact details on Salesforce, the participant's details should not be the same as those of already-added participants.
    For example, if an attendee has a different email ID with the same name, the second entry will not be accepted in Salesforce.


  • When adding participants on Airmeet to Salesforce, the Last Name and email ID should be unique.
  • an if the “FirstName & LastName" is matched with an already existing record, then it will give an error as a duplicate record.



10.1. Error Logs


Airmeet has added an error logs window where the Salesforce admin can view all the errors while sending out the data to Airmeet or while receiving the data from Airmeet to Salesforce.
