# Link Account

The GUMU™ is a real-time bi-directional integration, using the GUMU™ you can import new customers from Sage to Salesforce. But what if a Customer already exists in Salesforce? You will have to link the existing Customer before bringing it from Sage to Salesforce to avoid duplication. The GUMU™ **Link Account** feature helps you do this.

Once the Salesforce Accounts gets linked with Sage Customers, you can see real-time inquiries (Customer Details, Sales Orders, Invoices, etc.) in Salesforce. You can also create Sales Orders for that linked account and promote them to Sage.

To link Salesforce Accounts with Sage 300C Customers, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the **GUMU™ Settings** app and then click on the **Link Account** tab.
