Kerux
Via Zapier, Make or n8n Salesforce connects through Zapier, Make or n8n, which handle its sign-in. Kerux takes the leads and sends events back.
Salesforce and LinkedIn campaigns, through Zapier or Make
New Salesforce leads with a LinkedIn URL start a Kerux campaign, and every positive reply or booked meeting is logged back in Salesforce. Zapier or Make handles Salesforce's sign-in.
Native Salesforce sync isn't built yet. This page shows the Zapier or Make setup that works today.
How it works
A new lead in Salesforce
Zapier sends it to Kerux.
Maria joins the campaign
With her Salesforce fields.
The meeting is logged
Kerux's event creates a Task.
An example workflow
- A Zap triggers on a new Salesforce lead that has a LinkedIn URL.
- Webhooks by Zapier > POST sends it to the campaign's trigger URL.
- Kerux runs the LinkedIn steps.
- After a positive reply, a Webhook / HTTP step sends the lead's email to a Catch Hook Zap that updates the lead's status.
- A booked meeting does the same with
{{meeting.start}}, and the Zap creates a Task on the lead.
What data flows
Kerux sends to Salesforce
emaillead.first_namelead.last_namelead.linkedin_urlmeeting.start
Salesforce sends to Kerux
linkedin_urlfirst_namelast_nameemailcompany
Set it up
- In Kerux, open the campaign, click + Connect on the Automations half of the first card, choose Incoming webhook (API) and click Copy link. That trigger URL is where new leads go, as JSON with at least
linkedin_url. - In Zapier, start a Zap with Salesforce > New Record (object: Lead) and add Webhooks by Zapier > POST to the trigger URL with
linkedin_url,first_name,last_name,email,company. - Start a second Zap with Webhooks by Zapier > Catch Hook, then Salesforce > Find Record by email and Update Record or Create Record (Task).
- For the other way, add your Zap's or scenario's webhook address in Integrations > Developers under Webhooks, pick the events you want (for example
reply.positive) and click Send test event.
Plan limits: Webhooks by Zapier needs a paid Zapier plan. With Make, use its HTTP and Webhooks apps instead.
Questions
Does Kerux have a native Salesforce integration?
No. Today Salesforce connects through Zapier, Make or n8n: they handle Salesforce's sign-in, send leads to a Kerux trigger URL and receive Kerux's events. It takes a few minutes to set up.
Will Kerux have a native Salesforce integration?
It's planned, not built. Until then this page shows the way that works today, and we'll say so here when native sync ships.
Does it need a Salesforce developer account?
No. Zapier or Make signs in to your Salesforce with your own login; you don't create an app in Salesforce.
