APPLIED EPIC + SALESFORCE

Connect Applied Epic to Salesforce

Your Epic book of business (clients, policies, carriers, commissions, and service activity) in Salesforce, automatically, and kept in step. PS Advisory does the technical work.

FOR MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCERS

One Integration, Two Wins

Management gets visibility and control. Producers get their time back. Epic runs your back office; Salesforce is where your team sells and serves.

For Management
See the whole agency clearly.

Your Whole Book, Live

Every policy, premium, carrier, and renewal visible in Salesforce in real time. No waiting on an Epic report to know where the agency stands.

Revenue & Commission Tracking

Producers, splits, and earned commissions come across from Epic, so you can watch revenue develop right alongside the policies that generated it.

Retention Risk, Spotted Early

Claims activity, servicing status, and renewal timelines surface on every account, so at-risk clients show up before they become lost clients.

Control & a Full Audit Trail

Every record that moves is logged in plain English. Write-back to Epic stays off until you enable it, and Epic remains your system of record.

For Producers
Sell more, type less.

Never Rekey a Client Again

Clients, contacts, and policies arrive from Epic automatically and stay in step. The busywork disappears, and so do the transcription errors.

The Full Client Story, One Screen

Policies, coverages, claims, and certificates sit on the client record you already work in. Walk into every call knowing the whole relationship.

Live Status on Every Deal

Carrier submissions show submitted, quoted, and bound status right on the opportunity. Know where your deals stand without chasing the service team.

Know What You're Owed

Your commissions and splits are visible next to the policies that earned them, so renewal value and payout are never a mystery.

THE BIG PICTURE

Epic Data, in the Places Your Team Already Works

Built on standard Salesforce Financial Services Cloud objects, so your Epic data lands in the records your team already uses, not in a bolted-on system.

We Start in a Sandbox, Not Production

All install and testing happens in a full-copy Salesforce sandbox (a replica of your live org) first. We only promote to your live org once you've approved what you've seen.

It Reads Before It Writes

The integration is delivered with write-back to Epic switched off. It begins by pulling Epic data into Salesforce; sending anything back to Epic is a separate, deliberate switch you turn on only when you're ready.

The One Prerequisite: FSC for Insurance Brokerages

This integration is designed for Financial Services Cloud for Insurance Brokerages, Salesforce's insurance-broker edition of FSC. That's what provides the insurance-specific data models (clients, policies, carriers, producers, commissions) the integration maps Epic data into.

The good news: for existing FSC customers, the Insurance Brokerage capability is a $0 add-on SKU, with no additional license cost to enable it.

DATA FLOWS

What Data Flows, and Which Direction

A broad, continuous flow from Epic into Salesforce, and a precise, deliberate flow back. Epic stays your system of record.

Epic → Salesforce: Reading Your Book In

Runs automatically on a schedule. Records are matched on Epic's own IDs, so re-syncing updates existing records instead of creating duplicates.

Salesforce → Epic: Four Specific Write-Back Actions

Precise by design and fully logged. Each action is enabled deliberately; nothing goes back to Epic silently.

UNDER THE HOOD

How the Sync Operates

Epic data arrives on a schedule you control. Changes made in Salesforce head to Epic the moment you save.

Epic → Salesforce

Scheduled poll: you set the cadence, and can also trigger an immediate refresh on demand ("Run Sync") without waiting for the next scheduled run. Each run pulls only what's new or changed since the last one.

Salesforce → Epic

Triggered by the record change: captured the instant you save, sent to Epic within seconds to a few minutes. Near-real-time, deliberately just short of instant.

FULL VISIBILITY

Always Know Your Systems Agree

Every sync is recorded and anything that needs attention is easy to find and quick to fix. No support tickets, no guesswork.

Everything Logged

Every push and pull is written to an audit log with a plain-English status and a link to the record. One odd record never holds up the rest of the sync.

One Place to Look

The Sync Admin dashboard shows health at a glance, with one-click Retry. Green / amber / red badges on each client, contact, and policy show it's in step, right where your team works.

A Short Fix Loop

Fix the cause, re-run, done. The sync matches on Epic's own IDs and rewrites only what changed, and outbound sends retry automatically.

THE ONE-TIME MIGRATION

Getting Your Existing Book In

Your entire book loads once, in the right order, as a first-class part of the project. Then the ongoing sync takes over.

No Duplicates

Before anything is created, a reconciliation pass matches records you already have in Salesforce to their Epic counterparts on natural keys and links them. The load updates those records instead of creating a second copy.

Steady and Resumable

A large book loads gradually over hours, deliberately throttled, not in one risky blast. If paused or interrupted, it resumes exactly where it left off, with a live progress screen and an operator stop control throughout.

Fully Auditable

Every record loaded, and anything that couldn't be, is written to the audit trail, so verifying the migration is a matter of comparing counts and reviewing a short list of exceptions.

A GUIDED, FOUR-STEP PROCESS

How We Set It Up

PS Advisory does the technical work; we only need a few specific things from you and from Applied along the way. Nothing touches your live systems until you've seen it working safely in a test environment first.

1

Install

PS Advisory

We install the PS Advisory Applied Epic connector into your Salesforce org: the connection layer, sync engine, audit trail, and on-screen status indicators. Your data model stays clean.

What we need: A Salesforce org on Financial Services Cloud for Insurance Brokerages, and a Full sandbox with admin access for the install.

2

Configure

PS Advisory + a little input from you

We assign access, load the Applied credentials into Salesforce's encrypted credential store, set your sync schedule, and confirm every safety switch before anything runs.

What we need: Your preferred sync frequency, plus a short working session to capture your agency-specific Epic codes.

3

Applied Access

You + your Applied rep

Applied provides API access through the Applied Dev Center. You make the request; we give you a checklist with the exact wording to forward to your Applied rep.

What we need: This is usually the step with the longest lead time, so it's worth starting early.

4

Sandbox Connection

You + PS Advisory

You hand us the Applied credentials; we load them securely into Salesforce and run a live verification pull to prove the whole chain works end to end, before any real data is involved.

What we need: The Applied credentials, and an early request to Applied for a full Applied Epic sandbox.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Applied Epic to Salesforce integration sync?

Clients, contacts, carriers, policies with their coverages and premiums, claims, certificates and documents, producer commissions and splits, servicing status, renewal timelines, and activity history flow from Applied Epic into Salesforce Financial Services Cloud on a schedule you control, and stay in step automatically.

Does the integration write back to Applied Epic?

Yes, but only deliberately. Changes made in Salesforce can flow back to Epic the moment they are saved, and every write-back action ships switched off, is enabled intentionally, and is fully logged. Epic remains your system of record; nothing goes back to Epic silently.

Do we need Salesforce Financial Services Cloud?

The integration is built on Salesforce Financial Services Cloud's insurance data model, which represents policies, coverages, claims, and producer relationships as first-class records. FSC for Insurance Brokerages is available at no additional license cost for qualifying agencies, and PS Advisory handles the setup.

How does our existing book of business get into Salesforce?

A built-in migration loads your entire book once, in dependency order: clients, then contacts, then policies, then coverages. It is a first-class part of the project, not a spreadsheet exercise. After the initial load, the ongoing scheduled sync takes over.

How is the integration set up, and how long does it take?

Setup follows four steps: PS Advisory installs the connector in your Salesforce org, configures access and the sync schedule, you request API access from Applied through the Applied Dev Center using the checklist we provide, and we verify the connection end to end against real data before anything touches your live org. Applied's production approval typically takes 2 to 5 business days.

Is our data secure, and does Epic stay the system of record?

Yes. Applied credentials live in Salesforce's encrypted credential store, never in code or documents. Everything runs on standard Salesforce security, every record that moves in either direction is logged with a plain-English status, and Applied Epic remains your authoritative back-office system throughout.

A Staged, Predictable Path to Go-Live

Test against real data in a sandbox, promote to your live org once you've approved what you've seen, then switch on write-back if and when you want it. Every step visible, every record audited.
