Add Input Manually while mapping fields
You can customize the input value of a form field before passing it to the Salesforce object by merging form field tags or entering a value manually.
You can use the custom input option for the following Salesforce fields:
-
Text
- Text Area
To do so,
- While mapping the above Salesforce fields with Zoho Forms fields, select the Add Input Manually option in the Zoho Forms fields column.
-
In the pop-up, you can either enter a value manually or click the
icon to merge the form fields in the input box. The input can also be a combination of both: a manual value and fields tags.

Upsert a record
When you choose the Upsert Record option, if a record with identical upsert value exists in Salesforce, then it will be updated with the new values. If not, a new record will be created in Salesforce.
Assignment Rules
