CRM2 routesRoute facts checked August 28, 2026

This page shows every cataloged route for this app and marks the most capable working path. The recommended route works through automation you configure and own.

You authorize and keep control of the provider account. No page view means an account is connected.

Recommended route

Customer-owned Zapier workflow

Recommended: a customer-owned Zap can find or create a Salesforce lead or contact and carry the call summary into the record your team selected. Salesforce is a premium Zapier app, so it needs a paid Zapier plan. The Salesforce edition, connected-app approval, and connecting user must also allow API access to the chosen objects and fields.

Every available route

More than one route is shown when it adds a real capability or gives you a customer-owned alternative. Recommended means most capable today, not already connected.

Recommended route

What it does

Recommended: a customer-owned Zap can find or create a Salesforce lead or contact and carry the call summary into the record your team selected.

Before you start

Salesforce is a premium Zapier app, so it needs a paid Zapier plan. The Salesforce edition, connected-app approval, and connecting user must also allow API access to the chosen objects and fields.

What it does not do

Salesforce is a premium Zapier app, so it needs a paid Zapier plan. The Salesforce edition, connected-app approval, and connecting user must also allow API access to the chosen objects and fields.

Set it up

Have a Salesforce administrator approve Zapier and confirm the connecting user can access the required object and fields.
Install the private First AI Employee app, choose New Lead, and find or create the selected Salesforce record.
Map the call summary, test one synthetic record, and confirm it appears once before activation.

Provider documentation

n8n Cloud

Downloadable n8n Cloud workflow starter

Customer setup required

What it does

A completed call runs Upsert lead in Salesforce after you configure and enable the destination node.

Before you start

OAuth2 or JWT. Authorize Salesforce and select Event ID or another unique external-ID field for upsert.

What it does not do

This route receives completed calls only. The synthetic dashboard test stops before the destination, so it proves transport but not the provider write. Event-ID replay memory is bounded best effort, and one n8n webhook URL is stored per tenant.

Set it up

Download the app-specific starter from Integrations in your First AI Employee dashboard and import it into n8n Cloud.
Authorize Salesforce, choose the customer-owned resource, and complete this requirement: Authorize Salesforce and select Event ID or another unique external-ID field for upsert.
Configure and enable the destination node, then activate the workflow.
Copy the production /webhook/ URL into the dashboard automation connection. Test URLs and self-hosted n8n hosts are rejected.
Send the dashboard transport test, then run a real non-production completed call and confirm the destination record yourself.

Install the private First AI Employee app, choose New Lead, and find or create the selected Salesforce record.

Map the call summary, test one synthetic record, and confirm it appears once before activation.

Verify the complete result

Use synthetic data, confirm the downstream record once, and only then activate the workflow.

Account ownership and data boundaries

The route sends only the event fields needed for the action you configure. Provider credentials stay in the approved connection or are sealed by First AI Employee where the guide explicitly says so.

Your provider and automation accounts remain yours.
A successful transport test is not the same as a verified provider write.
The pages never claim a native or two-way sync unless that exact capability exists.
