In order to integrate with AppEQ with Salesforce, the System Admin who is setting up the AppEQ data integration should have enabled the API Access as part of Salesforce setup.

If you're a system administrator, you can easily verify or enable this setting for your users. Here's how:

  1. Navigate to Salesforce Setup: Look for the "Setup" menu within Salesforce.

  2. Search for User Profiles: In the top search bar, type "Profiles" and click on the matching option that appears below.

  3. Select the Relevant User Profile: Find the specific profile that applies to the user who needs the connection.

  4. Enable API Access: Scroll down to the "Administrative Permissions" section and locate the option labeled "API Enabled." Make sure this box is checked.

If you're not a system administrator, don't worry! Simply reach out to your admin team, and they can handle these administrative permissions steps for you.
