Salesforce setup for Compliance Manager connector

Follow the instructions on this page to enable the connection between your Salesforce account and the Compliance Manager connector for Salesforce.

This process involves obtaining a token for a given Salesforce account. Therefore, if you activate multiple connectors for multiple Salesforce accounts, you'll need to repeat this process for each account in order to get the token.

   If the security token for your account is used anywhere else, resetting the token may cause issues in those locations.
