Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Get Started with the Apex Connector Framework

To get started with your first custom adapter for Salesforce Connect, create two Apex classes: one that extends the DataSource.Connection class, and one that extends the DataSource.Provider class.

The DataSource.Connection class requires a Salesforce Connect add-on license. For more information, see Salesforce Connect Adapters Included per Add-On License.

Note

Let’s step through the code of a sample custom adapter.
