How the Salesforce Gender-API Integration Works
The integration leverages Zapier to connect Salesforce with Gender-API seamlessly. When a new lead or contact is created in Salesforce, Zapier automatically captures the record and sends the first name to Gender-API. The API processes the name and returns gender information along with confidence scores. This data is then written back to a custom field in the Salesforce record, making it immediately available for use in workflows, email templates, reports, and dashboards. The entire process is automated and takes only seconds.
Setting Up Your Salesforce Gender Detection Workflow
Setup is straightforward: First, create a custom field in Salesforce to store gender information (typically a picklist with values like Male, Female, Unknown). Then, connect your Salesforce account to Zapier and add your Gender-API credentials. Create a Zap with Salesforce as the trigger (e.g., "New Lead" or "New Contact"). Add Gender-API as the action to analyze the first name. Finally, add a Salesforce action to update the record with the gender data. Test thoroughly before activating. You can create separate Zaps for leads and contacts, or handle both in a single workflow.

How do I use gender data in Salesforce email templates?
Once the gender field is populated, you can reference it in email templates using merge fields. You can also use it in formula fields to create conditional greetings (e.g., "Dear Mr./Ms. {LastName}") or in Process Builder to trigger gender-specific email templates.
