# 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.

If you don’t already have a relevant Salesforce account, you can sign up for a [Salesforce Developer Trial](https://developer.salesforce.com/signup), which includes example datasets.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.akkio.com/akkio-docs/integrations/salesforce.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
