Salesforce Data 360 connection properties

Create a Salesforce Data 360 connection to load data to Salesforce Data 360.

Connect to Salesforce Data Cloud

Let's configure the Salesforce Data 360 connection properties to connect to Salesforce Data 360.

Before you begin

Before you get started, create a connected app for the Data 360 Ingestion API in Salesforce Data 360, with the required scopes.
You need at a minimum the Manage user data via APIs (api) and Manage Data 360 Ingestion API data (cdp_ingest_api) scopes for Salesforce Data 360 .
To load data, you also need to create an ingestion API data stream.
Configure your connected app and get the consumer key and consumer secret to generate the access token.
For more information about these steps, see the Salesforce Data 360 documentation.

Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:
Property
Description
Connection Name
Name of the connection.
Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,
Maximum length is 255 characters.
Description
Description of the connection. Maximum length is 4000 characters.
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication and the Data Access Management services.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note: If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
