Salesforce Connector

Connecting to your Salesforce Account using an Eightwire datastore enables you to read and write data to standard or custom objects. The Datastore can be used after you setup access using the Salesforce Platform Tools. Once the Datastore is connected it can be shared with another Eightwire Account or used in a process for data transfer.
