I am proud to announce the availability of a new module for Drupal integration with Salesforce.com CRM users. I posted on our group page a while ago regarding a potential module that would integrate Salesforce's Lead Form into the Webform module that we've all grown to love. Well... I was able to get in contact with a developer from Ohio, who was excellent to work with, that did just that for us.

What made it easier was the fact that a SugarCRM Webform Integration module was already out there for Drupal. He used that as a starting point and was able to make a module that will be used by Salesforce/Drupal Users for many years to come.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the SugarCRM module it utilizes the Webform Module and allows you to create forms that will then map to your SugarCRM account. The Salesforce.com module does the exact same thing. Under the advanced settings for each field is a "SalesForce Field Key" drop-down where you will select which field it needs to be mapped to.

The settings page under Site Config. is used to enter the username and password (with Salesforce Key) of the user that will be tied to the Leads that come from the form. It can also be used to add more data elements to the drop-down on the Advanced Settings page for each field.

So far the module is not "stable" on the project page, but I have it running on our new website and so far everything is working perfectly.

Anyone have comments or suggestions for this module?
