How to Integrate RFP Questionnaires with Salesforce Using 1up
The Problem
Your team uses questionnaires to qualify leads and move deals forward. But the insights from those questionnaires live in one place and the actual deal data lives in Salesforce. That gap means you never really know whether a specific RFP contributed to a closed deal - or a lost one.
The Solution
1up connects directly to Salesforce so you can link any questionnaire to a specific opportunity. You get full visibility into deal value, stage, and outcome right inside 1up, and you can finally see how your RFP process is actually performing.
Close the Loop Between Your RFP Process and Your CRM
Most sales teams treat questionnaire completion and CRM management as two separate workflows. 1up closes that gap. Link a questionnaire to a Salesforce opportunity and you can see the deal name, dollar value, stage, close date, and outcome right alongside the responses. One place to manage the whole picture.
A lot of teams work hard on RFPs and questionnaires without ever knowing which ones actually moved the needle. The deal gets won or lost in Salesforce, but there is no easy way to trace it back to the discovery work that happened in 1up.
With 1up's Salesforce integration, you link a questionnaire directly to a Salesforce opportunity in a couple of clicks. From that point on, you can see the opportunity value, the deal stage, the close date, the case owner, and whether the deal was won or lost - all without leaving 1up. If the deal closes, you know that questionnaire contributed. If it gets lost, you know that too. Custom fields like risk score are also supported, and 1up is working on expanding that to let any customer choose the fields they want to sync.
You can link multiple questionnaires to multiple opportunities, and unlinking is just as simple - highlight the deal and click unlink. Clean, simple, and easy to manage at volume.
Sales teams that use questionnaires heavily tend to have a lot of institutional knowledge about what works - which responses land well, which sections of an RFP are deal-critical, where prospects push back. But that knowledge usually stays informal because there is no way to connect questionnaire activity to actual outcomes.
The Salesforce integration starts to change that. When you can see that a won deal went through a specific questionnaire workflow, and a lost deal did not, you start making better decisions about the process. It is a small connection that has real implications for how teams think about RevOps and AI together.
What Your Team Gets with the Salesforce Integration
- See which questionnaires are winning deals: For the first time you can trace a closed deal back to the specific RFP or questionnaire that helped close it. That visibility changes how you think about your RFP process and where to invest time improving it.
- All deal context in one place: Opportunity name, dollar value, deal stage, close date, case owner - all of it surfaces right inside 1up when you link a questionnaire to an opportunity. No switching between tools to get the full picture on a deal.
- Flexible and easy to manage: Link multiple questionnaires to multiple opportunities. Unlink with one click when a deal moves on. Custom fields are supported for teams that need additional Salesforce data surfaced alongside their questionnaire responses.
- Closes the loop between discovery and revenue: Your questionnaire process is part of your sales motion. This integration makes that visible in a way that was not possible before - connecting the work your team does in 1up directly to the outcomes that show up in your RFP knowledge base and your CRM.

FAQs
When you link a questionnaire in 1up to a Salesforce Opportunity, the integration pulls in deal-specific information. This includes the deal name, dollar value, owner, close date, outcome (won/lost), and risk score. It gives you a unified view of both discovery insights and sales data in one place.
Yes. You have full control over your links. At any time, you can highlight the linked deal in 1up and click “Unlink” to remove the connection. You can also relink the questionnaire to a different Salesforce Opportunity if needed.
Custom field support is coming soon! The 1up team is actively working on enhancing the integration so you can customize fields and layouts to match your Salesforce setup and workflows.
