Use the steps below to complete each process. ## Export Leads to Salesforce **Prerequisite:** Confirm you have the following before trying to export leads to Salesforce: - Salesforce Account (Production or Sandbox) - Appropriate permissions to create Leads/Contacts and manage Campaigns - An active team and a Smart Capture event with captured leads in the app Before you export leads to Salesforce, you have the option to either [map Custom Question fields](/v1/docs/export-leads#map-custom-question-fields-to-leads-records) from a Smart Capture event to Leads’ records and/or r[etrieve mappings from a different Smart Capture event](/v1/docs/export-leads#retrieve-mappings-from-another-event) to Salesforce for the new event. ### Log in to Salesforce 1. Log in to your Salesforce org. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f977eec0-500f-40a3-b663-724a51f78075/Images/Documentation/Smart%20Capture_Salesforce_Log%20In.png) 2.
