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.

Step One: Sign up for Salesforce Developer Edition

Developer Edition provides a free and easy solution so that you can use Salesforce for testing and development.

To sign up for a Developer Edition account, go to developer.salesforce.com/signup.

The Developer Edition data storage maximum is 5 MB. This limit doesn’t prevent you from working with these examples.

Note

If you have a development sandbox, you can use it with these examples.

Before you begin, verify that your user profile has the API Enabled permission by following the instructions in User Permissions in Salesforce Help.
