Review Salesforce CPQ Product Mapping Examples
Review FAQs of Product Mapping for Salesforce CPQ
Overview
Here you can review Ironclad’s capabilities for mapping quote data from Salesforce CPQ to Ironclad and and see examples for supporting different pricing methods in Salesforce CPQ including (a) product bundles, (b) subscriptions, and (c) multidimensional quoting (MDQ).
If you do not use Salesforce CPQ, the principles for handling line items from this guide are still applicable; Ironclad’s Salesforce connector has the same mapping capabilities regardless of the particular data model you are using.
From a data perspective, Salesforce CPQ product and quote line items are represented as rows of products with columns for their characteristics (name, price, quantity, etc.). These line items can be received by Ironclad using its dynamic table field type. Dynamic tables can hold a variable number of rows with a fixed number of columns for each row.
Background
Ironclad
For this guide, you should be familiar with creating templatized workflows in Workflow Designer and, specifically, creating dynamic tables in workflows. You should also be familiar with mapping Salesforce fields to workflow fields in a workflow launch configuration.

The Ironclad Managed Package for Salesforce will need to be installed in your Salesforce environment. You should be familiar with how to create an Ironclad workflow launch configuration in Salesforce.
Ironclad Salesforce Connector Mapping
Ironclad’s dynamic tables can receive tabular data from Salesforce such as opportunity product line items or quote line items. The example below shows a dynamic table in workflow designer that can receive line item information; the columns may differ depending on your organization’s Salesforce configuration.
This guide assumes that you have an order form/quote template that will receive quote line items from Salesforce CPQ.
You will use three core capabilities throughout this process:
- traversing to Salesforce line items to map them to a dynamic table,
- sorting the line items based on a line item property (optional), and
- filtering the line items based on a line item property (optional).
