Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect PandaDoc to Salesforce?

There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.

Is the connection between PandaDoc and Salesforce secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your PandaDoc security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: PandaDoc → Salesforce. Changes in Salesforce do not sync back to PandaDoc.

Will existing data in PandaDoc sync to Salesforce?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.

Why does Client sees raw code like `[Opportunity.Amount]` in the proposal instead of the price?

This is a known issue (~80% of users). Common cause: Field Deletion or Rename. Typical fix time: 10 minutes. Many teams solve this with Make's visual mapping tools or n8n for self-hosted control.

Can I sync custom fields?

Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.
