To be able to talk to Salesforce from RINT we need to setup a connected app in Salesforce and the user that will access the API.
Add Connected App
- Login to Salesforce (we used the https://login.salesforce.com)
Click the Cog then Setup you will end up on the page .../lightning/setup/NavigationMenus/home
Under section Platform Tools → Expand Apps and click on App Manager
- Click New Connected App button
- Enter
Connected App Name
API Name
Contact Email - Check the Enable OAuth Settings
Enter the callback url. This is the url found on the Authentication page in RINT when creating a new OAuth.
Or enter manually <baseUrl>/secure/RestfulClientAction.jspaIn the Selected OAuth Scopes select the access level, in our example we will use Full access (full)
Click Save
Set the Permission Set
Make sure the API user has enough permission, here is an example of adding a new permission set and adding that to a user.
- Under section Platform Tools → Expand Users
- Click New (or reuse existing, don´t click new view)
- Enter a name such as API
- Click System Permissions
Check API Enabled and Apex REST Services
Click on Users
Click on the user that you will use for API access
- Scroll down to Permission Set and edit. Assign the new API permission set to the user
Save and all done!
