Connect to Salesforce

Connecting to Salesforce requires two steps: Create a managed app and allow access.

Requirements

Before you can connect to Salesforce, make sure you have the following:

  • A VOGSY subscription

  • A Salesforce subscription (Enterprise Edition or higher)

  • A VOGSY user with the Support Staff role

  • A Salesforce user with the System Administrator profile

  • Create the managed app

  • The first step is to create a managed app at Salesforce.com.
