Define Conflicting Behavior for Salesforce for Outlook

Updated on

This article illustrates how to define conflicting behavior for Salesforce for Outlook.

Conflict behavior settings determine what happens when Salesforce for Outlook encounters a conflict when syncing data both ways.  A conflict occurs when the same record is updated in both Salesforce and Outlook or when a record is updated on one side and deleted in the other.

  1. Click Your Name | Setup | Desktop Administration | Outlook Configurations.
  2. Edit a configuration, and select a conflict behavior under Data Settings for each object being synced.  Possible options are:
    • Salesforce.com always wins
    • Outlook always wins
  3. Click Save.  All changes take effect the next time data syncs for the users in this configuration.
