For now, the Superblocks REST API integration can be used to connect to the Salesforce REST API. Full guide on this below.

Overview​

Connect Superblocks to Salesforce to build internal tools that combine sales lead and account information with other data sources, or automate operations like bulk updates or assignment of new leads.

Setting up Salesforce​

1. Create a Salesforce app

Start by configuring a connected app in your Salesforce account. The app should have OAuth Settings enabled, specifically using the OAuth 2.0 Username-Password authorization flow.

Follow the Salesforce REST API Quick Start for a full guide.

2. Create REST API integration

Select REST API from the integrations page and fill out the form with the following configuration:

  • Display Name - Name that will be displayed to users when selecting this integration in Superblocks
  • Base URL - Salesforce org URI
  • Authentication - The previously configured OAuth settings for your Salesforce connected app using the OAuth2 - Password Grant (Legacy) grant type
  • Headers - Pass in the oauth token as a Bearer token via {{oauth.token}}
  • Params - Any additional parameters to send

Use the REST API integration to connect to Salesforce

3. Set environments

After creating the integration, you can optionally set different settings for your Production and Staging environments.
