Setting up the SalesforceBulk Environment

The SalesforceBulk connector allows you to access the SalesforceBulk REST API from an integration sequence. SalesforceBulk is a RESTful API that allows you to either quickly load large sets of your organization's data into Salesforce or delete large sets of your organization's data from Salesforce.

Note: To work with the Salesforce Bulk connector, you need to have a Salesforce account. If you do not have a Salesforce account, go to https://developer.salesforce.com/signup and create a Salesforce developer account.

Salesforce uses the OAuth protocol to allow application users to securely access data without having to reveal their user credentials. For more information on authentication is done in Salesforce, see Understanding Authentication.
