📊 Connect Salesforce with Microsoft Power BI #
Automate sales reporting and unlock real-time CRM insights. #
Manual data exports from Salesforce delay decision-making and obscure critical trends.
With IT Partner’s Salesforce + Power BI Integration, your team can:
- Sync Salesforce data automatically to Power BI via API
- Visualize real-time sales KPIs like pipeline health, win rates, and customer segmentation
- Track marketing-sales alignment with unified dashboards for leads, campaigns, and ROI
- Forecast accurately using AI-driven Power BI models fed by live Salesforce data
🔗 What This Integration Does #
We connect Power BI with Salesforce to enable:
- Hourly or real-time data refreshes using Salesforce REST API and Power Query
- Pre-built sales dashboards for opportunities, accounts, and activities
- Custom DAX measures for advanced analytics like customer lifetime value (CLV)
- Row-level security (RLS) via Azure AD to control CRM data access
- OAuth 2.0 authentication for secure API connections
- Multi-object relationships to analyze connected data across Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities
💡 Why It Matters #
Without integration:
- Sales teams rely on static Salesforce reports with no cross-object insights
- Leadership lacks real-time visibility into pipeline health
- Marketing can't measure campaign impact on revenue
With integration:
