Salesforce Integration Overview
Seamless Compliance Screening Directly Within Your Salesforce Environment
Overview
Our Salesforce integration enables you to perform automated sanctions, PEP, and watchlist screenings directly within your Salesforce workflows, helping compliance and risk teams to work faster, reduce false positives, and stay audit-ready at all times.
Whether you're onboarding a new customer, screening business partners, or conducting periodic reviews, our native integration with Salesforce lets you centralize compliance operations without switching between platforms. From single-entity checks to automated batch screenings and alert management — everything can now happen where your team already works.
What You Can Do with the Salesforce Integration
1. Perform Real-Time Sanctions Screenings
Initiate sanctions checks for any contact, lead, or account directly from Salesforce, manually or automatically triggered by specific events (e.g., lead creation, status change, new opportunity).
Our screening engine checks against major global sanctions lists (UN, OFAC, EU, UK sanctions list, etc.), Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), and criminal watchlists, as well as High-Risk Jurisdictions lists. See the complete Watchlist Coverage.
2. Schedule Batch Screenings
Schedule batch screenings for your entire customer or vendor base without writing a single line of code. Whether you need to re-screen your entire CRM on a weekly, monthly, or custom schedule, this is now fully automated within Salesforce.
Batch screening jobs are processed via our API in the background, and the results are mapped back into your Salesforce records, including screening status, match details, and confidence scores.
3. Manage Alerts and Review Matches Inside Salesforce
When a potential match is found, you can now manage and resolve alerts directly in Salesforce. Each screening result comes with:
-
Match status (pending, false positive, valid sanction).
-
Match reason & confidence score.
-
User comments & decision history.
-
Full audit trail for every action taken.
Reviewing and documenting alerts happens in one place. If you confirm a match or mark it as a false positive, that status is preserved across all your systems - ensuring consistency and audit readiness.
Who This Is For
Whether you're a fintech startup scaling your compliance stack or a large institution running Salesforce as your central hub, this integration helps you stay compliant without adding complexity.
This integration is ideal for teams that:
-
Operate customer onboarding, vendor risk, or compliance workflows inside Salesforce.
-
Need to automate screenings without leaving the CRM.
-
Want to reduce manual copy-paste between platforms.
-
Require audit trails and match decision logging for regulators.
