Thank you for your partnership as we work through reconnecting your Staircase integrations. This guide walks you through the steps to restore Salesforce, Slack, and Gong (when available). Most customers complete the basic reconnection in about 30 minutes.
Our team is always available to help, and you'll find support options at the end of this document.
Before You Begin
Participants Needed
To complete reconnection smoothly, you'll want the following people available:
| Role | Why Needed |
|---|---|
| Staircase Admin | Navigates settings and verifies data flow |
| Salesforce Admin | Required for Salesforce OAuth authorization |
| Slack Workspace Admin | Required for Slack OAuth authorization |
| 💡 Tip: If your Salesforce or Slack Admin isn't available, please schedule a short joint session with them before you begin. |
Estimated Time
| Scenario | Approx. Time |
|---|---|
| Basic reconnection only | ~30 minutes |
| Reconnection + configuration review | 1–2 hours |
If you've been considering configuration improvements, this is a great time to make them.
☁️ Reconnect Salesforce
Step 1: Save Your Mappings
Before making any changes, take a quick screenshot of your:
- Account Mapping
- Stakeholder Mapping
This ensures you can quickly restore anything if needed.
Step 2: Re-authorize Salesforce (~5 minutes)
- Log in to Staircase as an admin. Note: The SFDC Admin needs to be given a Staircase Admin license in order to perform the actions below
- Go to Settings → Integrations
- Click Reconnect next to Salesforce
- Your Salesforce Admin will log in and approve the connection
- Confirm the status changes to Connected
| ⚠️ Troubleshooting: If you see errors such as "App not found," or an unexpected Salesforce org appears, contact our support team directly for assistance. |
Step 3: Re-sync Field Mappings (~10–15 minutes)
- Go to Config → Fields
- Review both your Account and Stakeholder fields
- Click Sync to refresh fields from Salesforce
- Confirm your mappings are still correct
- Re-map any fields that show as disconnected
Step 4: Confirm Data Flow (~5 minutes)
- Open a recent account in Staircase
- Confirm that Salesforce data is appearing
- Check that your latest updates are syncing

💬 Reconnect Slack
Step 1: Re-authorize Slack (~5 minutes)
- Go to Settings → Integrations

If needed, re-add Staircase by typing:
/invite @Staircase
