Salesforce

The Salesforce component integrates Salesforce through Squiz Connect.

The component works with the Salesforce API. Ensure your Salesforce edition has API Access enabled. To check which editions have API access see the Salesforce editions with API Access.
If your edition has no API Access by default this component will not work for you.

API version

This Salesforce component uses Salesforce’s' API Version 46.0, except:

  • Deprecated Actions and Triggers - API Version 25.0

Authentication

Authentication is via OAuth 2.0.

To make OAuth work, you need a new application in your Salesforce.

During the application creation process, you will be asked to specify the callback URL. To process the OAuth authentication through the Squiz Connect platform, your callback URL should be https://app.connect.squiz.cloud/callback/oauth2.

Read the Create a Connected App content in the Salesforce documentation for more information.

Setting credentials

To set the required credentials:

  1. Select either an existing Auth-Client or Add new client from the Choose Auth Client menu:

    Add new client

    1. If you are creating a new authorization client you should specify the following fields:

      Field name Mandatory Description

      Name

      Your Auth Client’s name.

      Client ID

      true

      Your OAuth client key.

      Client Secret

      true

      Your OAuth client secret.

      Authorization Endpoint

      true

      Your OAuth authorization endpoint. For production, use https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize. For a sandbox, use https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize.

      Token Endpoint

      true

      Your OAuth Token endpoint for refreshing access token. For production, use https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token. For a sandbox, use https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token.

  2. Supply a name for your credentials in the Name Your Credential field.

  3. Click on the Authenticate button. Complete the login details if this is your first time logging to Salesforce.

  4. Click the Verify button to verify your credentials.

  5. Click the Save button to save your credentials.

When you deploy the Salesforce component separately into a dedicated tenant or your developer team it cannot use the OAuth App specifically created for the main tenant.

Therefore you must create a different OAuth App and add the required environment variables to the component setup.

Read the Creating OAuth2 app documentation for more information.
