Building the Connected App

After successfully creating the Connected App, the next step is to provide the necessary information and configure its settings.

Step 1: Provide App Information

• Fill in Required Fields:
• Ensure you fill in all fields marked with a red line, as these are mandatory and cannot be left blank.
• Common required fields include:
  Connected App Name: A unique name for your app.
  API Name: A unique identifier for the app.
  Contact Email: An email address for communication regarding the app.

Step 2: Enable OAuth Settings

1. Enable OAuth:
   • Locate and check the "Enable OAuth Settings" checkbox.
   • This action allows you to configure OAuth scopes and permissions for your app.\
     
2. Configure OAuth Scopes:

• Once OAuth is enabled, you can specify the OAuth Scopes that determine the level of access your app will have.
  Common scopes include:
  1.Access and manage your data (api): Allows API access to your Salesforce data.
  2.Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token): Enables the app to act on behalf of the user without requiring them to log in again.

3. Callback URL:
   Enter the Callback URL, which is the endpoint where Salesforce will redirect users after they authorize access. This URL is crucial for the OAuth flow.

Step 3: Save Changes

After entering all required information and configuring OAuth settings, click "Save" to finalize your Connected App setup.
