Types of Data Collected

Metadata Collected

  • All Files

  • File Name

  • File ID

  • Author

  • File Creation and Last Modified

  • File Size

  • Extension

Salesforce Considerations

  • At this time we do not support collections from Salesforce sandbox environments

  • Currently, Onna's integration can only be used to collect files within a Salesforce Lightning Enterprise account.

  • We are not able to collect Salesforce Chatter data.

Salesforce Requirements

  • You need an admin account for Lightning Enterprise to collect from Salesforce. Non-enterprise versions of Salesforce, such as Salesforce Essentials and Lightning Professional, do not have API access included so Onna's integration cannot access the files.

How to Connect and Collect Using Salesforce

To create a new Salesforce collection follow the steps below:

Step 1

Click on ‘Workspaces’ in the main menu (a), then click on the workspace where you’d like to add a new sync (b).

Step 2

Click on the ‘+’ icon in the upper right corner to add a new source.

Step 3

Select the Salesforce connector from your list of available connectors.

Step 4

You’ll now start to configure your sync by entering a source name in the ‘Name’ field (a). Then, select the synchronization mode (b) and set your sync start and/or end date (c). Finally, click the blue ‘Connect’ button (d).

Step 5

Enter your Salesforce Username and Password (a). Then, click the blue ‘Log-in’ button (b).

Step 6

Allow Onna access to your Salesforce account by clicking the blue ‘Allow’ button.

Step 7

Then, select the tags you want to include in your sync (a) and click the blue ‘Done’ button (b).

Step 8

You’ll now see your new source appear alphabetically in the list of ‘Connected sources’ in your workspace.
