Salesforce Merge Fields – Use Object

Business Background

Configure your Titan Survey to include objects pulled directly from Salesforce for the most customized user experience.

You can add fields in your survey questions from the object that you will use when publishing the survey via List View, Object, Automation, or an externally identified user. For instance, you can add fields from a Contact if you are publishing the survey to Contacts.

You will not be able to select a different object than the one used in a question in the survey.
