Configuring Output Connections
Salesforce Output connectors enable you to write the results of a recipe to your Salesforce org for further analysis.
To configure output connection:
1.In Data Manager, click the Connections tab.
2.Click New Connection.
3.In Connector Type, click Output and select Salesforce Output Connector.
4.Define the Output Connection Settings in the Set Up Your Connection dialog box. The following image shows an example of the Set Up Your Connection screen.
5.Click Save & Test.
Before You Configure the Connection
To obtain the Client ID and Client Secret, you need to set up an External Client App (ECA) in Salesforce—a lightweight, Salesforce-specific mechanism to generate OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) so that Sentinel Pulse can securely authenticate its output connector without relying on a user's personal username and password. For details, refer to the section "Set Up an External Client App for OAuth" in https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.sdp_connectors_output_salesforce.htm&type=5
