Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method of identifying users of a multi-tenant database and application service is provided. The system and method is configured to generate a list of contacts from a contact database of a multi-tenant database and application service. Each contact in the list of contacts is sent a message that includes a link to web site that includes a query. Specifically, each contact visiting the web site is queried to determine if the contact is a user of a multi-tenant database and application service.
