To learn more about the different types of authentication available for Salesforce, see the official Salesforce documentation in Create a Connected App.

Note:

To authenticate on Salesforce, you must have the Salesforce Sales Cloud Enterprise edition or Professional edition with API support.

To set up a new application in Salesforce Sales Cloud, you must have Administrator privileges. Contact your system administrator if you do not have those privileges.

Add the Salesforce connection

To create a connection to your Salesforce instance, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Select Integration Service from Automation CloudTM.

  2. From the Connectors list, select Salesforce. You can also use the search bar to narrow down the connector.

  3. Select the Add connection button.

  4. When establishing the connection to your Salesforce instance, you first have to specify the environment. There are two options to choose from: Production and Sandbox. Choose your environment and select Connect. In this example, we select the Production environment.



    Note: For setting up Sandbox account, follow the steps described in the Salesforce official documentation: Sandbox Setup Considerations.
  5. Next, select your preferred authentication method.

  6. Enter the required credentials.

  7. Select Connect.

  8. If your Salesforce organization is hosted on a custom domain, connect your account by selecting Use custom domain in the authentication screen. Then, enter your custom domain, the username, and password.
