It sounds like the goal here is to send 1st degree Connections from LinkedIn over to Salesforce using Zapier. So I just wanted to follow up here to suggest making a Zap with the following trigger and actions:
- New Connection in LinkedIn - triggers when a new connection is added.
- Create Record in Salesforce - this action could be used to create a new Lead or Opportunity record in Salesforce. To add both a Lead and an Opportunity, two separate Create Record action steps would be required.
That said, if it’s possible that the connection coming in from LinkedIn already exists in Salesforce then you’d want to swap the Create Record action for a Find Record action instead. The Find Record action is able to search for an existing Lead/Opportunity record and create a new Lead/Opportunity record if one isn’t found.
We have an helpful guide on how to use search actions like the Find Record action here: Search for existing data in Zaps :)
