# Finding Salesforce field API names to query in Opensense

## Overview

Opensense can query your Salesforce data to personalize company email signatures, based on Contact, Account, and Lead objects. The way a field is displayed in Salesforce isn't always what's needed to query it. Salesforce gives each field an API name, and other apps, like Opensense, query fields by that name.

## Finding a field's API name

1. Sign in to Salesforce.
2. Select the gear icon in the upper-right corner, then **Setup**.
3. In the top menu bar, select **Object Manager**.
4. Type `Contact` in the **Quick Find** box, and select the **Contact** object.
5. In the left sidebar, select **Fields & Relationships**.

   You see all the fields on the Contact object, with each field's label, API name (the **Field Name** column), and data type. Select a field to see its description and other details. Custom field API names end in `__c`.

For Account or Lead fields, select that object in step 4 instead.

## Configuring the fields in Opensense

When you've found the fields you want to use, give their API names to your Opensense Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM). Your CSAM helps you with your Opensense account configuration.
