Edit Sync Mapping of Survey

Last Modify: 

11 Jun 2024

You can edit or change the object of your survey at any time. When you connect a survey, you also set up the object mapping and select additional actions so your survey responses sync to the Salesforce record of your choice.


You have the option to map the responses to new or existing Salesforce records. This allows you to update existing records with new information, or create new records with the survey responses. To change the object of your survey, you can go to the Sync Mapping section of the survey and select a new object or create a new one, then re-configure the field mappings and actions as needed. Please make sure you have appropriate permissions to do this and check with your Salesforce administrator before proceeding with the steps.

Please note that this process requires appropriate permissions, and it's important to check with your Salesforce administrator before proceeding with the steps. Also, make sure that the data type of the new field is compatible with the question data type to avoid data loss or errors.


Follow these steps to edit the mapping object.


  1. Go to the Sync Mapping  section of your survey.

  2. Click on the edit mapping icon  .

  3. Select an object for mapping like (Case, Lead, etc.) Or create a new custom object.
