Field Mapping

Field Mappings are mappings between third-party Remote Fields and user defined Merge fields. This includes integration-wide and Linked Account specific Field Mappings. Integration-wide Field Mappings apply to all Linked Accounts in your organization for a particular integration. Linked Account level Field Mappings are specific to an end user. Learn more.

Programmatically configuring Field Mappings is only available on our Enterprise plans. View the Merge Plans to learn more.
