Using Bombora surge data with Reachdesk helps you send gifts that match the topics an account is actively researching. This makes your outreach significantly more relevant and timely.
Before you start, make sure you have installed Bombora for Salesforce.
Overview
You can use Bombora intent data in Salesforce to trigger Reachdesk gifting via:
Manual campaigns for individual contacts at high-intent accounts
Automated campaigns using Salesforce campaign membership for scaled, personalized sends
Send 1-to-1 Gifts Using Bombora Intent Data
Use this approach when an account is showing high intent or is surging on key Bombora topics.
Before You Start
Create your manual campaign in Reachdesk first. This can be a simple campaign shell that you personalize in the Chrome Extension for each send.
How It Works
In Salesforce, open the account showing high intent or surging activity in Bombora
Review the known contacts on that account
Check whether those contacts are a strong fit based on the topics the account is researching
Open the Reachdesk Chrome Extension
Personalize the gift and message
Send the campaign
Send Triggered Gifts Using Salesforce Campaign Membership
Use this approach when you want to send a one-to-many Reachdesk automated campaign while keeping the experience personalized.
Example use cases include:
Sending a personalized gift to contacts at different accounts surging on the same topics
Sending to contacts at the same account surging across multiple topics
Step 1: Build Your Target Contact List
In Salesforce, identify the contacts you want to target using Bombora data.
Step 2: Set Up the Salesforce Campaign
Once you have your target contacts, create a campaign in Salesforce.
Configure the Campaign Correctly
Name the campaign clearly (including "Reachdesk" and "Bombora" helps with reporting)
Use the correct campaign type
Ensure the campaign statuses align with Reachdesk send statuses for Bundle sends or eGifts
Supported status progressions include
Bundle send example: Member → Sent → Shipped → Delivered
eGift example: Member → Sent → Opened → Clicked → Claimed
Step 3: Set Up the Automated Campaign in Reachdesk
After your Salesforce campaign is ready, configure the matching automated campaign in Reachdesk.
Create the Reachdesk Campaign: In Reachdesk, create an automated campaign and complete all required details
Sync to Salesforce: In Campaign Sync, select your Salesforce connector and choose the Salesforce campaign you want to sync with
-
Configure the Campaign Trigger:
Under Campaign Trigger, select the Salesforce connector
Choose the Campaign Member object
Add a condition for Campaign ID equals [Your Salesforce Campaign ID]
Add another condition for Status equals (e.g., "Member")
Step 4: Add Contacts to the Salesforce Campaign
When the Reachdesk campaign is ready to go live:
Open the relevant account in Salesforce
Select the contacts matching your Bombora criteria
Click Add to Campaign and select your trigger campaign
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to create the Reachdesk campaign before sending 1-to-1 gifts?

Can I use the same Salesforce campaign for sync and trigger setup?
Yes. The Salesforce campaign selected in Campaign Sync can be the same one used to trigger the Reachdesk campaign.
What campaign statuses should I use in Salesforce?
Your Salesforce campaign statuses should match the Reachdesk gift status syncing logic to ensure accurate reporting. Read more about this here: Syncing gift statuses from Reachdesk.
