How do I integrate Salesforce API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified CRM API that makes Salesforce integration simple. Sign up for free, enable Salesforce in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their Salesforce accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

What Salesforce data can I access through Apideck?

Our Salesforce integration supports 10+ data models including leads, contacts, accounts, and custom objects. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all crm platforms.

How does Salesforce authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles Salesforce authentication completely. Your users connect their Salesforce accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement Salesforce's auth flow yourself.

Does Apideck support Salesforce webhooks?

Yes, Apideck provides real-time notifications when Salesforce data changes. Our unified webhook system normalizes events across all integrations, so you handle Salesforce events with the same code you use for other crm platforms.

Why use Apideck instead of Salesforce's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Salesforce's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When Salesforce updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.
