Integration Salesforce with Totango
Configuring an OAuth Connected App In Salesforce:
You just need to follow the below steps in Salesforce:
In Lightning view:
- Click on the setting gear icon button and launch the setup.
- Then under the find box write App Manager then click on App Manager.
- Under the App Manager top right corner click on New Connect App Link.
- Choose a name for the application. Totango recommends something like the Totango oAuth application.
- Enter the contact email information, for the resource within your organization who will be responsible for any maintenance of this application. This information is specific to your organization.
- Select “Enable OAuth Settings.”
- Input the following Callback URLs: https://app.totango.com/auth/das/callbac https://app.totango.com/auth/connector/callback
- From the Available OAuth Scopes select: “Full access (full)” “Perform requests on your behalf at any time.
- Make sure “Secret for Web Server Flow” is check-marked
- Make sure “Configure ID Token” is check marked
- Input “120” in the Token Valid for the box.
- Click Save.
Important Note about OAuth Scopes:
- When this Application is authenticated with Totango it requires an SFDC user to perform the handshake. These settings represent the permissions that the application has to perform on behalf of said user. If you wish to control which objects/permissions this application will have: you can do that by altering the profile that the user, that will authenticate this app, belongs to.
Once you have completed these instructions you will see the page above: Note the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret you will need those for the configuration of Totango. You can always get back to this screen and get those by navigating to:
- In the Salesforce Lightning view, go to Setup | Tools | Apps | App Manager | choose “View” from the drop-down menu to the right (do not click Edit or Manage).
Important note: it might take 2-10 minutes before your new connected app is created on the Salesforce server.
After Creating the Successful auth connection app in Salesforce you will receive the customer key and client secret it will be used in Totango for connection.
Now Create a CRM Connector to Salesforce In Totango:
Go to your Totango instance and click on Global Settings > Data Management > Customer Data Hub > find the CRM source filtering connectors and select Salesforce.
After the Salesforce-connected app is created, create the connection in Totango.
Enter the connection name and description, client ID, client secret, and select the Salesforce environment type (production or sandbox), then click the “Test and Save connection” to connect using your OAuth credentials.
Note: The OAuth user holds the object permissions to your Salesforce. Totango recommends creating a dedicated user for this integration which has the desired object access permissions (for example, the dedicated OAuth user can access the Account object but not the Contact object).
