Data.com Question

Hello,

Is there a way for a user to update our employee field on the account record using data.com clean button but not through the actual salesforce record? Basically we have a field called "employees" and we want reps to be able to use the data.com clean to update the value for "employees" but not let them update that field manually by editing that field. Hope this makes sense? Just wondering if there is any work flow or trigger that can be utillized to achieve this.

thank you

Hi Sunny,

Clean works by comparing your Salesforce account, contact, and lead records with records from Data.com and creating a link between your Salesforce record and it’s matching Data.com record. Clean also provides clean status information for Salesforceaccounts, contacts, and leads. 

Users with a Clean license can: 

Manually compare individual Salesforce records side by side with matched Data.com records, and update Salesforce records field by field. 
Select account, contact, and lead records from a list, and clean them all at once.
Manually refresh D&B Company records linked to accounts (Premium Clean only).

Your organization can also configure and run automated Clean jobs to flag field value differences on Salesforce records or automatically fill blank fields. 

Data.com Clean does not support person accounts.There are two versions of Data.com Clean: Corporate Clean and Premium Clean. They differ based on the D&B fields that are available when you clean account or lead records, either manually or via automated jobs.
