Important
- You can add a mapping to only an inactive context definition. We recommend that you create a context definition, define its structure, set its mapping, and only then make the context definition active.
- To make a context definition active, you must set up a default mapping.
- You must map the nodes first and then map all the attributes.
- To save a context map, map at least one attribute and a node.
- The Profile, UserRole, RecordType, and Permission Set Assignment entities aren’t available for mapping.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, find and select Context Definitions.
- On the Custom Definitions tab, select the context definition that you want to add a mapping to.
- On the Context Definition Details page, select the Map Data tab.
- Click Add Mapping.
-
Specify the mapping details.
- Give your mapping a name.
- Provide a description. Enter additional details about the context mapping, if necessary.
- To automatically map your definition to standard objects, select Automatic Salesforce Object Mapping.
- To set this mapping as your default mapping, select Mark as default.
Note To manually map your context definition, deselect the Automatic Salesforce Object Mapping checkbox. - Click Next.

On the Mapping Intent Details tile, select at least one Mapping Intent operation. For
more information, see Mapping Intent Types.
