The basic install requires a package to be installed into Sitecore and some minor Salesforce customization. Once completed you can create, read, update and delete Salesforce objects from Sitecore (like Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Documents, Cases or custom objects). You can execute this functionality in Sitecore using custom code (see the Starter Kit or examples in this document). Note that S4S pushes and pulls information to and from Salesforce after a Sitecore event (button click, page load, scheduled task etc.).

IMPORTANT: The basic install assumes your Sitecore installation has the Web Forms for Marketer (WFFM) package installed. You need to install WFFM first, then install the S4S Core package. If you are not using WFFM, see the section below on how to exclude WFFM.

You cannot directly delete this item without a security message so extract the entire zip to a new unzipped Sitecore for Salesforce - Core-x.x folder then drill down and delete the WFFM item. Next delete package.zip out of the original zip file and drag the entire modified package.zip across to the original. Install the modified zip as normal.
