Only users with the Admin (Tenant) role have permission to configure the Outreach integration and manage its settings.

​
How It Works

  • Tracking: Yess monitors your Outreach sequences and identifies steps requiring LinkedIn actions (like connection requests and messages).
  • Automation: When a lead reaches a LinkedIn step, Yess automatically executes the action for you.
  • Sync: All relevant lead and account data is synced and mapped to Yess objects for unified tracking.
  • Logging: Each LinkedIn activity performed by Yess is automatically logged in Outreach.

​
Step 1: Authenticate with Outreach

Go to the Integrations page in your Yess admin settings.
  1. Click “Connect” next to Outreach.
  2. Log in with your Outreach credentials and authorize access.
  3. Once connected, Yess will begin syncing your sequences and leads.

​
Step 2: Enable LinkedIn Automation

  • In the Data Pull Criteria tab, select LinkedIn Automation.
  • Specify which Outreach sequences should have LinkedIn steps automated.
    • Choose from a sequences list or by using a tag
 To use tags, first create the tag in Outreach and assign it to your relevent sequences. You can update the tag at any time, and Yess will include all sequences with that tag in the automation.
  • Set Schedule
  • Configure when your data syncs automatically between Salesforce and Yess
    • Toggle “Schedule”: This switch enables or disables the automatic scheduling.
      • If it’s turned on, the integration will run on a recurring basis.
      • If it’s off, the process won’t run on a schedule (you may trigger it manually instead).
    • Choose how often the integration runs by setting a number and a time unit—for example, “Run every 1 day” means the integration will run once a day. Save your selected schedule by clicking the Checkmark icon Screenshot2025 05 18at15 36 54 Pn
Manual Sync options
  • If you need to sync outside of the regular schedule, you can trigger it manually:
  • Sync Now: Click Sync Now to immediately sync your data based on the current sync criteria.
  • New Data Only: Enable the New Data Only toggle to pull only records that were created or updated since the last sync.(If disabled, the system will perform a full sync based on the selected filters.)

​
Step 3: Field Mapping

Once you’ve defined your data sync, move to the Field Mapping tab.
  • Map Outreach accounts and prospects to the corresponding Yess objects.
  • Ensure that all data points are correctly aligned for seamless integration and escalation flow.
If you’re importing data from Outreach and certain fields don’t have a matching default field in Yess, you now have two options for retaining that information:
  1. Map to a Custom Field (Recommended) 
You can now create custom fields in Yess and map any Outreach field directly to them. This allows you to preserve important data in a structured, searchable format and use it throughout the platform.
  1. Use Tags as a Backup
If you prefer not to create a custom field, you can still capture values using the Tags field:
  • Use “Tag” field to add the field’s value only to the Tags column.
  • Use “Tag with Prefix” to include both the field name and value in the format: Field Name: Value ( Industry: Finance). Screenshot2025 05 18at15 38 52 Pn
This allows you to retain important data even when a direct field mapping isn’t available.

​
Step 4: Engagement Settings

​
Fallback per Engagement Type

When using Outreach’s LinkedIn automation through Yess, it’s important to ensure that every engagement step has valid content. To prevent automation from failing, Yess provides a content fallback mechanism that automatically fills in message content when needed.
Why Is Content Fallback Needed?LinkedIn automation steps rely on having content that is both present and valid. Sometimes, a step may not have any content defined, or it may include variables that are missing or invalid .In these cases, instead of letting the step fail, Yess uses a fallback template so the message can still be sent smoothly.
You can define a separate fallback message for each LinkedIn engagement type:
  • Connection Request
  • Linkedin Message
  • InMail Screenshot2025 07 09at14 45 19 Pn
By default Yess will assign its built-in AI-generated LinkedIn content. These default templates are short, professional, and tailored to the engagement type, taking into account past engagements with the lead to ensure continuity, avoid repetition, and keep the outreach feeling natural.
Fallback templates cannot currently be edited. If you’d like to make changes, please go to the Templates → Content page in Yess and create a new template that can be used based on engagement type.

​
**Attention Required Settings **

This setting controls how the system handles errors or issues during sequence steps that require user attention — such as missing data or invalid configurations. You can choose between two modes:
  • Skip – Set by default. The sequence will automatically skip any step that encounters an issue, and no notification will be shown.
  • Block – The sequence will pause at the step with an issue and trigger an “Attention Required” notification so the user can take action. For a detailed explanation of how these notifications work, see the Outreach Integration Error Handling documentation. Screenshot2025 07 09at14 53 53 Pn

​
Step 5: Additional Settings (Optional)

Fine-tune your integration for your needs:
  • API Limit Settings:
    • Set the maximum number of API calls per day, with adjustable intervals (daily, monthly, yearly).
    • Default is 1,000 calls per day, but you can adjust or disable this as needed.
