The following example demonstrates how the system replicates a sample contact into a Salesforce lead.

**Important**: The sites must be [authorized](https://docs.kentico.com/13/integrating-3rd-party-systems/salesforce-integration/configuring-salesforce-integration.md) for Salesforce access.

## Creating the replication score

First you need to define a [score](https://docs.kentico.com/13/on-line-marketing-features/managing-your-on-line-marketing-features/contact-management/scoring-contacts.md) to determine which contacts the system will replicate.

1. Open the **Scoring** application.
2. Click **New score**.
3. Type _SF Score_ as the score's **Display name** and click **Save**.
4. Switch to the **Rules** tab of the new score and click **New rule**.
5. Set the following properties for the rule:

   - **Rule name**: SF Rule
   - **Score value**: 50
   - **Rule type**: Attribute
   - **Attribute**: Job title
   - **Condition**: _Contains_ - Manager

   ![Creating a new score rule](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13/example-replicating-a-contact-into-a-salesforce-lead/creating_score_rule.png "Creating a new score rule")
6. Click **Save**.

This _SF Score_ grants 50 points to all contacts who have the word _Manager_ in their job title.

## Creating a new contact

Now you need to create a [contact](https://docs.kentico.com/13/on-line-marketing-features/managing-your-on-line-marketing-features/contact-management/working-with-contacts.md) that fulfills the rule of the previously defined score. On live deployments, the system automatically creates and maintains contacts for the website visitors, but you can add a contact manually to try out the Salesforce replication.

1. Open the **Contact management** application on the **Contacts** tab.
2. Click **New contact** and fill in the following attributes:

   - **First name**: Kenny
   - **Last name**: Weathers
   - **Job title**: OMF Manager
   - **Address 1**: N 14th St
   - **City**: Cottonwood
   - **Country:** USA
   - **State**: Arizona
   - **Business phone**: 1-575-123-456
   - **Email address**: kenny@cottonwood.local
3. Click **Save**.
4. Go back to the **Scoring** application.
5. **Edit** () the _SF score_.

On the **Contacts** tab, you can see that your new contact has 50 points in the replication score. The system awarded the points because the contact contains the word _Manager_ in the **Job title** field.

## Replicating the contact to Salesforce

You now need to configure the Salesforce replication settings.

1. Go to **Settings -> Integration -> Salesforce**.
2. Make sure that the [field mapping settings](https://docs.kentico.com/13/integrating-3rd-party-systems/salesforce-integration/configuring-salesforce-integration.md#mapping-contact-fields-to-salesforce-lead-fields) match your requirements.
3. Specify the replication score requirements through the following settings:

   - **Score**: Select your replication score (_SF Score_)
   - **Minimum number of points for replication**: 50
4. **Save** the settings.

You now have a contact that fulfills the replication criteria. By default, the system replicates contacts once every hour. You can however run the replication manually at any time.

### Starting the replication process manually

1. Open the **Scheduled tasks** application.
2. Select _(global)_ in the **Site** selector.
3. Click **Execute** () next to the **Salesforce replication** task.

## Result

After a couple of minutes at most, your contact should appear as a lead in Salesforce.

To check whether the replication was successful:

1. Log in to Salesforce using your account.
2. Navigate to the **Leads** tab.
3. Select **Recently Created** in the drop-down list of the **Recent Leads** section.

You should see the lead replicated from the Xperience contact. You can now work with the lead as with any other Salesforce lead.

You can also check the replication status of the contact in Xperience:

1. Open the **Contact management** application on the Contacts tab.
2. Click **Advanced search**.
3. Select **Replicated into Salesforce leads** in the second **Search** options.
4. Click **Search**.

The list now shows only contacts that have been successfully replicated to Salesforce.
