How Do I Sync Salesforce User Fields to Ambition?
Last updated: November 12, 2026
When the Salesforce Field Syncing feature is enabled, user profile information from Salesforce-- such as their assigned manager, permission level, and Group memberships -- is automatically applied to a user's Ambition profile. Any changes made to a user's Salesforce profile will also be reflected in Ambition.
