## Overview

Reltio's cloud-native MDM platform and Salesforce's CRM are a natural pairing for enterprises that need data accuracy at scale. When customer, account, and contact records are mastered in Reltio and synchronized into Salesforce, sales reps work with a single trusted view of every customer instead of fragmented, duplicate records. Every opportunity, contact, and account in Salesforce reflects the most current, authoritative data from across your entire organization.

Enterprise go-to-market teams depend on Salesforce as their system of engagement, but Salesforce alone can't resolve data quality issues that originate across ERP, marketing automation, e-commerce, and support systems. Reltio is the golden-record engine that ingests data from all those sources, applies machine learning-driven matching and merging, and produces a single authoritative profile for each customer, account, contact, or product. Connecting Reltio with Salesforce through tray.ai lets you automatically push enriched, deduplicated golden records into Salesforce accounts, contacts, and leads — keeping CRM data clean without manual reconciliation. The result is better forecast accuracy, more effective segmentation, faster onboarding of new accounts, and a sales team that actually trusts the data in front of them.

## Use cases

### Golden Record Sync to Salesforce Accounts and Contacts

When Reltio creates or updates a golden record for a business entity or individual, tray.ai automatically reflects that change in the corresponding Salesforce Account or Contact. Sales reps always see resolved, deduplicated profiles rather than stale or conflicting data imported from upstream systems.

- Eliminate duplicate Salesforce accounts caused by multi-system data ingestion
- Ensure sales reps act on the most current and complete customer profiles
- Reduce manual data stewardship effort inside Salesforce

### Real-Time Lead Enrichment from Reltio MDM

When a new Lead is created in Salesforce — from a web form, marketing campaign, or manual entry — tray.ai queries Reltio to check whether a matching golden record already exists. If it finds one, the Lead is instantly enriched with verified firmographic and demographic attributes from the master record before a sales rep ever opens it.

- Accelerate lead qualification by surfacing pre-validated data immediately
- Reduce time sales reps spend researching and manually enriching leads
- Improve lead-to-opportunity conversion rates with richer, more accurate data

### Account Hierarchy Synchronization

Reltio's relationship graph captures parent-child account hierarchies across global enterprise customers. tray.ai reads those hierarchy relationships from Reltio and maps them to Salesforce Account parent-child associations, so territory planning, rollup reporting, and executive account views stay structurally accurate.

- Maintain correct account hierarchies without manual CRM administration
- Improve territory alignment and revenue roll-up reporting accuracy
- Give account executives a complete view of global enterprise relationships

### Bi-Directional Data Stewardship Feedback Loop

Sales reps in Salesforce often catch data errors — wrong phone numbers, changed job titles, merged companies — that should be corrected in the master record. tray.ai captures those Salesforce field updates and routes them back to Reltio as proposed changes, so data stewards can review, approve, and merge corrections into the golden record.

- Turn sales reps into active contributors to master data quality
- Close the feedback loop between system of engagement and system of record
- Reduce data degradation over time across both platforms

### New Product or Catalog Data Published to Salesforce

When new products or product attributes are mastered and approved in Reltio's product MDM domain, tray.ai pushes those records to Salesforce Product Catalog, Price Books, or custom product objects. Sales teams get immediate access to the latest approved product data without waiting on manual synchronization cycles.

- Eliminate lag between product launches and CRM availability
- Ensure pricing and product attributes in Salesforce match the master record
- Reduce errors on quotes and opportunities caused by outdated product data

### Compliance and Consent Attribute Propagation

Privacy regulations require that consent flags and data restriction attributes managed in Reltio are accurately reflected in Salesforce so outreach respects customer preferences. tray.ai monitors consent-related attribute changes in Reltio and updates corresponding Salesforce Contact and Lead fields in real time, supporting GDPR and CCPA compliance.

- Reduce compliance risk from consent mismatches between MDM and CRM
- Automate propagation of opt-out and data restriction flags to Salesforce
- Demonstrate auditability of consent management across integrated systems

### Opportunity-Driven Master Data Enrichment Requests

When a high-value Salesforce Opportunity reaches a defined stage, tray.ai triggers an enrichment check against Reltio to pull the latest attributes, relationships, and cross-sell signals associated with that account's golden record. Account teams get a timely data briefing that supports more informed deal strategy.

- Surface cross-sell and upsell signals from the master record at the right deal stage
- Equip account executives with complete account intelligence before key meetings
- Drive higher average deal values through better-informed engagement

## Templates

### Reltio Golden Record Created → Create or Update Salesforce Account

Whenever Reltio emits an event indicating a new or updated Organization golden record, this template maps the master attributes to Salesforce Account fields, performs an upsert using the Reltio URI as an external ID, and logs the sync result for audit purposes.

Connectors used: Reltio, Salesforce

### New Salesforce Lead → Reltio Lookup and Enrichment

This template fires when a new Lead is created in Salesforce, searches Reltio for a matching Individual or Organization golden record using email and company name, and writes back enriched attributes — title, industry, revenue band, and relationship data — to the Lead record automatically.

Connectors used: Salesforce, Reltio

### Reltio Merge Event → Salesforce Account Deduplication

When Reltio merges two or more entity records into a single golden record, this template identifies the corresponding duplicate Salesforce Accounts, merges them using Salesforce's native merge API, and updates all related Opportunities, Contacts, and Cases to the surviving record.

Connectors used: Reltio, Salesforce

### Salesforce Contact Update → Reltio Proposed Change Submission

When a Salesforce user updates key Contact fields such as phone, email, or address, this template captures the delta, formats it as a proposed attribute change, and submits it to Reltio for stewardship review, so the MDM system can evaluate and incorporate valid CRM-sourced corrections.

Connectors used: Salesforce, Reltio

### Reltio Consent Change → Salesforce Contact Opt-Out Sync

This compliance-focused template monitors Reltio for changes to consent and communication preference attributes and immediately propagates those changes to the corresponding Salesforce Contact and Lead records, keeping outreach suppression lists current without manual intervention.

Connectors used: Reltio, Salesforce

### Reltio Account Hierarchy Update → Salesforce Parent Account Sync

When Reltio updates a relationship between Organization entities — such as a subsidiary being acquired by a new parent — this template restructures the corresponding Salesforce Account hierarchy by updating the Parent Account field, keeping territory and reporting structures accurate.

Connectors used: Reltio, Salesforce

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Matching Reltio Golden Records to Existing Salesforce Records

Reltio golden records are identified by internal URIs that Salesforce doesn't natively understand, so reliably resolving which Salesforce Account or Contact corresponds to a given master record requires a deliberate cross-reference strategy from day one.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai workflows store the Reltio-to-Salesforce ID mapping in Salesforce custom external ID fields populated during the first sync. Subsequent runs use that external ID for instant, collision-free upsert operations — no fuzzy matching required at runtime.

### Handling High-Volume Real-Time Event Streams from Reltio

Reltio can emit large volumes of change events when bulk data loads, stewardship merges, or upstream system feeds are processed simultaneously — creating real risk of hitting Salesforce API rate limits or building up processing backlogs.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai has built-in rate limiting, configurable concurrency controls, and queue-based processing that throttle Salesforce API calls to safe thresholds. Retry logic and dead-letter handling ensure no events are lost even during peak load periods.

### Schema Mapping Between Reltio's Flexible Attribute Model and Salesforce's Fixed Schema

Reltio uses a highly configurable entity and attribute model that often doesn't map one-to-one to Salesforce's standard objects and fields. That means transformation logic has to be carefully defined upfront and maintained as both platforms evolve.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's visual data mapper and JavaScript transformation steps let teams define and version complex field mappings between Reltio attribute paths and Salesforce field API names. Mappings can be updated centrally without rewriting entire workflows.

### Bi-Directional Sync Loop Prevention

When Salesforce updates are written back to Reltio and Reltio changes are pushed back to Salesforce, circular update loops can cause infinite triggering, data thrashing, and unnecessary API consumption if not carefully managed.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai workflows embed source-tagging logic that stamps each write with an originating system identifier. Inbound triggers check that stamp and skip processing if the change originated from the integration itself, cleanly preventing circular loops.

### Maintaining Data Governance Across Automated Sync Operations

Automated integration between MDM and CRM carries real governance risk if changes are applied without appropriate authorization checks, audit trails, or rollback capability — particularly for sensitive fields like consent flags, financial attributes, or regulated personal data.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai logs every workflow execution with full input and output payloads, timestamps, and error states, giving you a complete audit trail for compliance review. Conditional logic within workflows can enforce field-level write permissions and route sensitive changes through approval steps before they're committed.
