# Salesforce

You can connect to your Salesforce instance to explore data, combine them with other data sources and build apps on top of them as a data foundation.

## Connecting to your Salesforce instance

To connect your Salesforce instance, follow the steps below:

1. Go to **Data Management** and click on "**New source**" to create a new data source.&#x20;
2. Select **Salesforce** from the list of available data sources.
3. Click on "**Connect to Salesforce**" and confirm the access request to your instance when redirected to Salesforce. After (potentially logging in and) clicking "**Allow**" you will be redirected back to the configuration page.
4. Save your Salesforce connection with "**Connect**".

Note that, additionally, we allow you to connect to a sandbox instance if you don't want your production database to be linked to Uify. This is especially advisable for the staging environment if you decide to setup a staging and a production environment. You can find more information [here](broken://pages/FM88Izx8RDNtGtuF6cvH) about how the different environments work.&#x20;
