Salesforce supports REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs plus Apex code execution. The most common deployment is a scheduled Apex class hitting our /api/v1 endpoints and updating Account custom fields. For lighter-touch deployments, Zapier or Workato can mediate the integration without code. Direct Salesforce AppExchange listing is roadmapped but not shipped — custom integration is the path today.
Enterprise accounts in Salesforce automatically get an engineering-momentum custom field populated nightly via a Salesforce REST API push, visible alongside ACV and renewal-date.
Salesforce Opportunities can be filtered by 'engineering acceleration in trailing 90 days' — useful for Corp Dev teams running quarterly acquisition shortlists.
For full-Salesforce shops, an Apex class pulls /api/v1 signal data on a daily schedule and updates Account records via standard Salesforce DML.
No first-party AppExchange listing yet. AppExchange certification is a significant lift (security review, scalability tests, customer adoption thresholds) — we are pre-AppExchange-stage and ship custom integrations on demand for paying Salesforce customers.
5 paths today: CSV import, Public REST API, Zapier, Webhook (Resend), Custom integration (demo request). The most common workflow for Salesforce users is CSV import — see the workflows section above for concrete examples.

Yes. For paid plans, custom integrations into Salesforce are scoped during onboarding. Submit a demo request via /firstlook with your Salesforce workflow needs and we will design the integration path together. Most custom paths take 2-4 weeks from scoping to production.
Standard integration paths (CSV, API, MCP, Zapier, RSS, webhook) are included in every paid plan — see /pricing. Custom Salesforce-native integrations are scoped per engagement and quoted separately.
