Before you create a Salesforce workspace

Configure Salesforce as an Identity Provider

You must enable Salesforce as an Identity Provider.

This is required for authentication between Salesforce and Structural. It is independent of any existing Salesforce single sign-on (SSO) user login.

Enable Grant API Enabled Access

You must enable Salesforce with Grant API Enabled Access.

This is required for authentication between Salesforce and Structural.

Creating the connected Salesforce application for Structural

For the integration between Structural and Salesforce:

• Salesforce is set up as an Identity Provider for Structural

• OAuth bearer tokens are used to transparently access Salesforce from Structural.

There are no separate passwords or user secrets. Each user is limited to only the data available based on their available level of access for their Salesforce or Structural account.

Create the application in Salesforce

1. Log into your Salesforce instance.

2. Make sure that Salesforce is enabled as an Identity Provider with Grant API Enabled Access.

3. In the top right corner, click the gear icon, then click Setup.

Setup menu

1. On the Setup page, in the search field, enter App Manager, then select App Manager.

Using the search field to find the App Manager

1. Click New Connected App.

Option to create a new connected application

1. On the Create a Connected App panel, click Create a Connected App.

2. On the New Connected App page, under Basic Information, fill in the following fields:

   • Connected App Name. We recommend that you include 'Tonic' somewhere in the name. Note that after you create a connected app, you cannot change the name.

   • API Name

   • Contact Email

Basic Information section for connected application creation

1. Under API (Enable OAuth Settings):

   1. Check Enable OAuth Settings.

   2. In the Callback URL field, enter the URL of your Structural instance with /oauth2/callback appended to it. For a self-hosted instance, if you do not have access to the Structural URL, contact the Structural administrator at your organization. If your organization has deployed more than one Structural instance, you can enter multiple URLs. For Structural Cloud, the callback URL is https://app.tonic.ai/oath2/callback.

   3. Under Selected OAuth Scopes, move the following settings from Available OAuth Scopes to Selected OAuth Scopes:

      • Manage user data via APIs (api)

      • Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)

   4. Leave the currently checked checkboxes checked.

API (Enable OAuth Settings) section for connected application creation

1. Navigate to the bottom of the page, then click Save.

Retrieve the consumer key and secret

After you save the new application, to retrieve the consumer key and secret values:

1. Expand the API (Enable OAuth Settings) section, then click Manage Consumer Details.

Manage Consumer Details option on the application details page

1. Locate and copy the values of Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. You use these to populate the consumer key and secret values in Structural.

Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields for the new application

Set the consumer key and secret Structural environment settings

Configure the following Structural environment settings, which you can configure from the Environment Settings tab on Structural Settings:

• TONIC_SALESFORCE_CONSUMER_KEY - Set to the consumer key value that you copied from Salesforce.

• TONIC_SALESFORCE_CONSUMER_SECRET - Set to the consumer secret value that you copied from Salesforce.

If you do not configure these environment settings, then you must provide the consumer key and consumer secret in the workspace configuration. For example, on Structural Cloud, you must always configure the consumer key and secret in the workspace.

Confirming the connected application permissions

After you set up the connected application, the first time that you log in to Salesforce with the user that connects from Structural, Salesforce displays a warning about the additional permissions that are granted to the connected application.

Confirmation panel for the connected application permissions

This first login is likely to occur the first time you configure a workspace connection.

It prompts you to confirm those permissions.

If you do not confirm the permissions, then Structural is unable to connect to Salesforce.

Creating the source and destination connections

For a Salesforce workspace, the source and destination data connections must be separate orgs.

The source and destination connections can be production orgs, sandbox orgs, or scratch orgs.

However, the destination connection can only be a scratch org if the source connection is also a scratch org.

Ensuring required Salesforce user permissions

Salesforce users who authorize Structural to connect on their behalf must have the following permissions configured:

• Granted the Marketing User option.

• Assigned the All Access role.

• Assigned the System Administrator profile.

• Granted the additional permission Update Records with Inactive Owners.
