See contact updates in your Datadog event history

Keep a lightweight timeline of contact changes without manually copying updates across tools.

Trigger

Contact Updated

Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.

Action

Create event

Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.

Why this helps

Contact changes can be missed when teams have to check Salesforce history separately from their broader activity timeline.

  • Record returned changed fields with relevant timestamps.
  • Find contact changes in a single event timeline.
  • Reduce manual activity logging.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a Datadog event for contact updates using returned changed fields and timestamps.
  • 4Pick the Contact Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real contact update and check which details appear.
