Ecosystem Expanded: Salesforce
Storyblok is the first headless CMS that works for developers & marketers alike.
Running a business entails managing various aspects of any company’s operations, including sales, marketing, customer service, and more. While these departments can function independently, a cohesive overview and integration of these branches’ data requires a reliable and efficient management system. To streamline and ease these processes for our partners, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve developed an integration with our technology partner - Salesforce!

The integration functions as a field plugin, which allows you to customize input fields and integrate Storyblok with third-party services. This enables developers to fulfill requirements specific to their use cases beyond the standard set of field types installed by default in every space. In this case, the Salesforce Commerce Cloud plugin is an extension of the Visual Editor, allowing users to add commerce features provided by our tech partner.
