# Salesforce OpenAPI

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to Salesforce OpenAPI with no need for additional layers like APIs or third-party services. 

## Configuration

### Prerequisites

Before using the data source, please enable Salesforce Platform REST API, OpenAPI Spec Generation (Beta): <https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/openapi_beta.htm>

### Connecting Salesforce OpenAPI as a standalone data source

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *Salesforce OpenAPI* in the Data sources list.
2. Give your data source a name and specify the **Salesforce URL** (optional).
3. Click **Connect to Salesforce** and authorize the access in the Salesforce app.
4. Finally, click **Test connection** to check whether the connection can be established, and then click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.
