Your CRM closes the deal. We find out why.

Connect Know Why with Salesforce to automatically trigger buyer interviews the moment a deal is marked Closed Won or Closed Lost — no manual work, no missed opportunities.

Win/loss intel starts in your CRM

Salesforce is where your deals live — and where win/loss programs die. Reps forget to flag deals for review, ops teams manually export lists, and by the time someone reaches out to a buyer it's been weeks. The Know Why integration closes that gap. The moment a deal stage changes, the interview is already on its way.

⚡ Zero-touch triggering

No reps, no reminders, no spreadsheets. Interviews fire automatically when Closed Won or Closed Lost is set.

🎯 Full deal context

Know Why pulls deal name, amount, owner, and competitor fields directly from Salesforce to personalize every interview.

📊 Insights back in Salesforce

Interview summaries and win/loss reasons sync back to the opportunity record — no dashboard-hopping required.

Connect once. Intelligence runs forever.
