How to Connect Salesforce CRM as Data Source

How to Connect Salesforce CRM as Data Source

The integration allows you to download from SalesForce new leads, orders, contacts, companies, accounts, tasks, and possibilities, transferring this data to other systems. For example, you can transfer new orders to CRM or GoogleSheets, and send them as notifications to yourself or a group of managers. You can also post data to the SMS or Email Distribution service. This will allow you to very flexibly adjust the operation of the desired actions. 

Let's go through the entire Salesforce CRM setup steps together!

1. What data can I get from Salesforce CRM?
2. How do I connect my Salesforce CRM account to ApiX-Drive?
