# Salesforce

You can use the Salesforce connector to connect your account to Akkio, making it easy to build and deploy AI models on Salesforce data.

To connect your Salesforce account, you must select Salesforce in either the input or output steps of the project navigator.

NOTE: To connect with Salesforce, you need a Salesforce Edition with API access, which can be Enterprise, Unlimited, Developer, or Performance. The Group, Essentials, and Professional Editions do not have API access.

When you select Salesforce, you must click 'Connect Dataset.' You will then see a 'Connect Salesforce Account' button. Press it.
