Changes can take up to 10 minutes to take effect. Deleting a parent org also deletes all connected apps with OAuth settings enabled.

We recommend using a specific user for this integration who has the API Only User permission.

 

You can also create a custom permission set with the required read permissions for the object types that you would like to import. You may find the list of object types under the admin tab:

If you are getting INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS error in the logs then we suggest reviewing the user permission on the following path:

Salesforce > Setup > Identity Verification > Session Security Level Policies

  1. Under the App Manager menu, find the application definition and select the View option.

  2. Click the Manage Consumer Details button in the API (Enable OAuth Settings) section.
