Overview

Snaps in the Salesforce Snap Pack use the Salesforce OAuth2 account to access the Salesforce application. For the OAuth2 account to function without any issue, ensure to create and configure a Connected App corresponding to the account as explained in the steps below. These steps also contain the information required to create/define a new OAuth2 account for using this Snap Pack.

Create a Connected app in Salesforce Portal

1. Log into the Salesforce portal.

2. Click the Setupicon on the top-right of the page and select Setup.

3. Navigate to PLATFORM TOOLS>Apps>App Manager.

4. Click New Connected App.

5. Enter the following required basic information to help identify your app in the Salesforce dashboard.

   • Connected App Name: Enter a unique name for the app.

   • API Name: The API name is automatically populated.

   • Contact Email: Enter your email ID.

     Open

     

6. Select the Enable OAuth Settings checkbox under API (Enable OAuth Settings).

   Open

   

7. Enter the required Redirect or Callback URL (to which the response should be sent) in the Callback URL box. Based on the region your server is located, provide the URL in the following format:
   https://<control-plane-name>.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/<snap-pack-name>
   where the <control-plane-name> corresponds to the domain part of your SnapLogic URL—elastic (global control plane) or emea (EMEA control plane).
   For example,
   https://emea.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/salesforce
https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/salesforce
   After successful authentication, Salesforce redirects to this Callback URL.

8. Select the required OAuth Scopes. Scope determines the level of access that you want to provide to your application. You must subscribe to refresh_token and offline_access scopes. 
   Note: If you face any issues in authorizing the Salesforce OAuth2 Account, make sure that you deselect the  Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) Extension for Supported Authorization Flows checkbox in your registered application in Salesforce and retry.

9. Click Save and wait for a few minutes for the app to work.

10. After configuring the Connected App, you will receive the Client ID and Client Secret.

11. Open the App you created and note the Client ID and Client Secret.
