| Where | What you need |
|---|---|
| In Salesforce | Admin permissions on your org to create an External Client App, and a plan with REST API access — Enterprise or above, or Pro Suite with the paid add-on (Salesforce’s entry-level plans don’t include the API). A Developer Edition org (free) does include the API and is enough to test the integration. |
| In Platform | Admin role to connect, activate actions or disconnect. Editor and Viewer roles can only see the connection’s status. |
Warning — Check your plan before you start
Unlike HubSpot, not every Salesforce plan includes REST API access — without it, this integration can’t work. If your org is a production one (not Developer Edition) and you aren’t sure whether you have the API available, confirm it with your Salesforce admin before creating the External Client App in section 3: it saves you completing the walkthrough only to find out at the end that your plan doesn’t allow it.
