When you accept an invitation from a business partner to join Salesforce to Salesforce, you can subscribe to fields that your business partner has published and map those fields to your fields. When your business partner updates the fields on a record that you’re sharing, the fields will be updated on the shared record in your organization.

Salesforce is scheduled for retirement as of Spring ’27. See Salesforce to Salesforce Retirement.
Before subscribing to fields, see Best Practices for Mapping Fields in Salesforce to Salesforce.
To map fields on a subscribed object:
- Click the Connections tab.
- Click the name of the connection you want to modify.
- In the Subscribed Objects related list, click Edit next to an object.
-
Map your business partner's published fields to your organization's fields by
choosing the appropriate field in the drop-down list.
Note Fields can only be mapped to fields with the same data type, length (for text and numeric fields) and decimal places (for numeric fields), so the drop-down list only shows fields with the correct data type. You can see the data type details of a published field by hovering your mouse over the information icon next to the field. Select --None-- if you don’t want to populate any of your fields with the data from a published field. - If the field is a picklist, click Edit Values to map each published picklist value to a picklist value in your organization.
- Click Save.
Note Changes to field mappings and picklist values may not show up in your business
partner's organization for up to 15 minutes while Salesforce refreshes the cache.
This cache enables us to support larger transaction volumes and reduce the number of
API calls that count against your organization's limits.
