Step 2: Import Opportunity Snapshot Data
Now that you’re connected to Salesforce, you can import your Opportunity Snapshot data:
- In the Coefficient sidebar, select “Import from Salesforce”

- Choose the fields you want to import (e.g., Opportunity Name, Amount, Stage, Close Date, etc.)
- Apply any filters if needed to narrow down the data
- Click “Import” to bring the data into your Excel spreadsheet
Step 3: Set Up Auto-Refresh (Optional)
To keep your Opportunity Snapshot data current without manual updates:
- In the Coefficient sidebar, click on the imported data source
- Select “Schedule Refresh”

- Set the specific time and days for the refresh to occur
- Click “Save” to activate the auto-refresh schedule
