Salesforce Developer Account Setup

New Salesforce Users

If you don’t have a Salesforce account yet, follow these steps:

Sign up for Salesforce Developer Edition

2

Creating a Connected App

1

Configure Connected App settings

  1. Click New Connected App.
  2. Fill in the required basic information:
    • Connected App Name: Your app’s name
    • API Name: Will auto-populate
    • Contact Email: Your email address
  3. Check the Enable OAuth Settings checkbox.
  4. For Callback URL, enter: https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback.
  5. Under Selected OAuth Scopes, add the permissions your app needs. At minimum, add:
    • “Access and manage your data (api)”
    • “Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)”
  6. Leave the rest of the default settings unchanged.
  7. Click Save, then Continue.
    Changes can take up to 10 minutes to take effect

Obtain API credentials

  3. Click Manage Consumer Details to view your credentials. You may be required to verify your identity.
  4. Copy the Consumer Key (this is your Client ID) and Consumer Secret (this is your Client Secret).

Configure token settings (recommended)

  1. Under the Connected Apps dropdown, click Manage Connected Apps, then click the Edit button next to your application.

API gotchas

  • Salesforce Authentication: Sage People uses Salesforce authentication, so you must set up a Salesforce OAuth app first.
  • Sage People API User: After setting up the Salesforce Connected App, you need to create a new API user within Sage People with the necessary permission sets where we have the Sage People API package installed. This user will be used to authenticate with the Connected App you created above.
