Set up instructions

Prerequisites:

  • Your Sana workspace admin has enabled this integration – if the workspace admin has disabled the integration it won't appear in the list of available integrations.

Step 1: Go to the integrations page in Sana

In Sana, click on ... More in the sidebar, then select Integrations

Step 2: Find Salesforce in the list of available integrations

Scroll to the Available integrations section and locate Salesforce.

Step 3: Connect the integration

Click the integration card and select "Connect just for me", this will open a pop-up powered by Pipedream. Follow the steps in the pop-up to complete the set-up.

Step 4: Select your Salesforce instance

In the Pipedream pop-up, choose the Salesforce instance you want to connect to:

  • Production — your live Salesforce environment, where your real data lives. This is the right choice for almost all users.

  • Sandbox — a non-production environment, useful for testing the connector without touching production data.

You've successfully connected your Salesforce account. Click Continue to complete the setup and start using the connector.
