I’m using Salesforce Connector I have enabled Contact Creation during User account creation. The standard attributes like FirstName, LastName, Email are getting populated on Contact record.
However, I need to populate 6 Attributes out of which 3 are custom Contact fields, and those fields do not exist on SailPoint User object.
My Questions:

  1. How can I populate custom contact fields during Contact creation if they’re not a part of user schema?
  2. Do I need to extend the salesforce application schema to include these custom Contact attributes?
  3. Should these fields be added in application.xml under custom attributes, or is there a better approach?
  4. Do I need to map these custom Contact fields in the provisioning plan?

Has anyone implemented something similar? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Using OOTB SailPoint - Salesforce connector, we were able to crate contact with basic OOTB attributes. As contact custom attributes were not present in the ‘account’ profile those were not getting populated using OOTB process. We had to write after provisioning rule to modify the contact custom attributes with the required values.

Thanks,
