The Salesforce Integration license is a lower-cost alternative to a full Salesforce license for API-only connections. This guide walks through the additional configuration required to use one with Swantide.
Before you start, confirm you have:
Salesforce System Administrator access
One available Salesforce Integration license
This article covers the Integration license setup only. When you're ready to install the package and authorize the connection, see How to Connect an Org to Swantide.
Step 1: Create the User
Go to Setup → Users → New User and fill in:
Field | Value |
User License | Salesforce Integration |
Profile | Salesforce API Only System Integrations |
Your IT or admin team email | |
Username |
Save and complete email verification if prompted.
Step 2: Assign the Permission Set License
Go to Setup → Permission Set Licenses.
Find Salesforce API Integration — note this is different from "Salesforce Integration," which is the wrong one.
Assign it to the new user.
Step 3: Create the Permission Set
Go to Setup → Permission Sets → New.
Set the License to
Salesforce API Integration. Save.Click System Permissions → Edit and enable these three permissions:
Permission |
Modify All Data |
Customize Application |
Author Apex |
Note: View All Data, Modify Metadata, and View Setup will auto-enable as dependencies — this is expected.
Save, then assign the permission set to your integration user.
Step 4: Connect to Swantide
The integration user will need to set a password before authorizing. Once that's done, follow the standard connection guide to initiate the OAuth flow from Swantide using the integration user's credentials.
Step 5: Verify the Connection
In Salesforce, go to Setup → Connected Apps OAuth Usage.
Click the user count next to the Swantide Connected App.
Confirm your integration user is listed.
