Connect Salesforce to LicenseMeter.

Connect via API

At Salesforce prices, one forgotten seat pays for a lot of tooling. LicenseMeter queries the user list with license type and last login and cross-checks every license against Entra ID.

Setup, step by step.

  1. Create a Connected App

    In Setup > App Manager, create a Connected App with OAuth enabled and Enable Client Credentials Flow checked. Under Selected OAuth Scopes, add 'Manage user data via APIs (api)' - without it the token issues but the user query is rejected, so the connection validates yet reads nothing.

    Salesforce: Configure a Connected App for the Client Credentials Flow (official documentation)

  2. Set a read-only run-as user

    Under Manage > Edit Policies > Client Credentials Flow, set the execution user. Use a dedicated integration user with API Enabled and View All Users (read-only) - View All Users is what lets the single query return every active user when User Sharing is on; without it the list comes back empty or partial. LicenseMeter's only query is the user list.

  3. Connect

    Paste your production My Domain URL (https://<org>.my.salesforce.com) or sandbox My Domain URL (https://<org>.sandbox.my.salesforce.com), plus the consumer key and consumer secret, on the Salesforce connector page. Validated before storage, encrypted at rest.

What it finds.

  • Salesforce licenses held by accounts that are disabled in Entra ID. At Salesforce prices, usually the single most expensive leak.
  • Licenses with no matching directory account at all.
  • Licenses nobody has logged into for your inactivity threshold.

What LicenseMeter reads

  • The user list: email, name, active flag and license type
  • Last login per user

What it never reads

  • CRM records: no accounts, contacts, opportunities or reports

Credentials are validated against the vendor before anything is stored, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), used read-only and deleted the moment you disconnect. Data lives in the EU (Postgres, Frankfurt). The security overview covers the full picture.

Ready in a few minutes.
