If you have company contact information stored in a CRM software product, you can pull this information directly into your document without manually entering the information.

- Outlook
- Salesforce.com (Production or Sandbox environment can be used.)
Retrieve CRM data
For Outlook, you first need to open Outlook, select your Address Book, and then select the contact you want to retrieve.
For Salesforce.com, records are in their database as a result of what is entered into the field within either Client Info or Sender Info.
- On the Data Entry Screen component, complete at least the Company Legal Name field so that Upland Qvidian can locate this CRM information.
- Click the Retrieve CRM Data link. The CRM information will populate the appropriate fields. If you are using Salesforce.com or Microsoft CRM and more than one record is found, the CRM Results dialog displays.
