Next Steps

Now that you've successfully connected the integration, check out the following resources:

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to successfully connect the integration, review these common troubleshooting steps:

Ensure You Are Logged in to Salesforce

Connecting users must be logged in to an admin account in Salesforce before completing step 3 in Connect to DataGrail. This is required to grant the neccessary permissions to DataGrail.

Ensure Required Permissions Are Granted on API Keys/Resources

DataGrail checks required permissions and scopes on API keys/resources used by each integration. If all necessary permissions are not granted, new connections will fail.

Review Required Account Types and User Roles

If users do not have the necessary permissions or the minimum required user role in the connecting system, the connection to DataGrail will fail. Additionally, connections will fail if your account type does not match the one required by the integration.

See Before You Start to review these requirements.
