Configure the Salesforce Connected App

Version: 8.0

To make Salesforce Connect communicate with Salesforce, you must configure the Salesforce Connected app.

Note

These instructions assume you are using the Salesforce Classic user interface. The same configuration is available using the Salesforce Lightning user interface. We recommend you switch to the Salesforce Classic user interface temporarily to complete these steps.

To configure the Salesforce Connected app:

  1. Log in to your Salesforce account.

  2. On the top menu, click Setup.

    Setup option in the Salesforce top menu

  3. In the left menu, click Create and then click Apps.

    Notes

    Connected App Name

    Sitecore Data Exchange App

    The specific value does not matter.

    API Name

    Sitecore_Data_Exchange_App

    Salesforce generates this value based on the app name. It is recommended that this value not be changed.

    Contact Email

    [your email address]

    The specific value does not matter.

    Enable OAuth Settings

    Selected

    Callback URL
