CloudTalk

Here is a basic setup guide for Salesforce API actions within workflow automations.

___________________________________________________________

CloudTalk supports the bearer token authentication needed for Salesforce API requests. The OAuth authorization which was configured within your first integration instance with Salesforce will be used for all workflow automations involving Salesforce. This is why we only advise having one integration instance with Salesforce if you are planning to use Salesforce API actions.

You don't need to include any keys or auth headers in new setups. All you need is your endpoint, query strings, and request body.

You will need to limit workflows to one Salesforce integration. Only automations from the most recently created integration instance will run.

For custom-built API requests, confirm necessary scopes. Since the authorization method is the same one used in initial integration setup, scopes will be the same as scopes used in your Salesforce integration. Check that the target entity your request is trying to access is covered within these scopes.
