Required FieldFX Connected Apps

These connected apps are required to provide OAuth-based integrations where third-party applications can securely interact with FieldFX via APIs. They are managed through Salesforce’s Connected Apps framework and are needed for secure data exchange, user authentication, and session control between FieldFX and external systems.

How FieldFX uses Connected Apps

To use Connected Apps, you as an admin must request API access from Salesforce.

Once you have access, you can:

  • Restrict access or block sessions as needed
