We are getting the following error when trying to connect our Salesforce to a third party that uses LinkedIn SalesNavigator. Has anyone else had this same error? TIA!

Hi
The Salesforce Company ID needs to come from a previous step in the Zap and be mapped thru to the Company field.
If that Company ID is not returned from the trigger step or a previous step in the Zap, then you’ll need to finds/search/lookup that Company ID using a Find Record step.
Check out this help article about mapping values using the ‘Custom’ option: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/set-up-your-zap-action
Hi Troy! Thanks, for your response. I’m a rookie to Zapier and have not used it much at all. Is the find a record your’re referring to on the Set Up Action where you select the Salesforce value? If so, I searched for CompanyID and nothing comes up besides ContactID.

Hi
In Salesforce the Company ID is a linked object field, meaning that it expects an internal Salesforce generated ID for the Company.
Try this Salesforce action to find the Company ID.
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
