🎉 Salesforce Authentication Integration - Implementation Summary
Overview
Successfully implemented Salesforce OAuth authentication for the Centralized Reporting System, enabling users to authenticate with Salesforce through the CRM & Sales Integration category.
✅ What Was Implemented
1. SalesforceAuth Component (src/modules/integrations/screens/SalesforceAuth.tsx)
- Full OAuth 2.0 authentication flow using WebView
- Mobile-optimized with
display=touchparameter - Authorization code capture and exchange
- Comprehensive error handling
- Loading states with processing modal
- Deep linking support for OAuth callback
- Similar architecture to ZohoAuth for consistency
2. Updated IntegrationCategoryScreen (src/modules/integrations/screens/IntegrationCategoryScreen.tsx)
- Added Salesforce authentication support
- Added
checkSalesforceToken()function to verify existing tokens - Updated
handleReAuthenticate()to support both Zoho and Salesforce - Added Salesforce Auth modal integration
- Enhanced authentication logic to distinguish between services
- Added re-authentication button for Salesforce
3. Deep Linking Configuration
- iOS: Updated
Info.plistwithCFBundleURLTypesfor custom URL scheme - Android: Already configured in
AndroidManifest.xml(existing deep linking support) - URL Scheme:
centralizedreportingsystem://oauth/salesforce/callback
4. Comprehensive Setup Guide (src/modules/integrations/screens/SALESFORCE_SETUP.md)
- Step-by-step Salesforce Connected App creation
- OAuth configuration instructions
- Mobile app configuration guide
- Backend implementation guidance
- Troubleshooting section
- Security best practices
- Testing procedures
🔧 Configuration Required
Step 1: Create Salesforce Connected App
-
Access Salesforce Setup
- Log in to Salesforce (Production or Sandbox)
- Click gear icon (⚙️) → Setup
-
Create Connected App
- Navigate to App Manager
- Click "New Connected App"
- Fill in basic information:
- Name:
Centralized Reporting System - Contact Email: Your email
- Name:
-
Enable OAuth Settings
- Check "Enable OAuth Settings"
- Callback URL:
centralizedreportingsystem://oauth/salesforce/callback - Select OAuth Scopes:
- Access the identity URL service (id, profile, email, address, phone)
- Access unique user identifiers (openid)
- Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
- Manage user data via APIs (api)
-
Save and Retrieve Credentials
- Wait 2-10 minutes for processing
- Navigate back to App Manager → View your app
- Copy the Consumer Key (Client ID)
- Reveal and copy the Consumer Secret (Client Secret)
Step 2: Update Application Configuration
Open src/modules/integrations/screens/SalesforceAuth.tsx and update:
const SALESFORCE_CONFIG = {
// ⚠️ REPLACE with your Consumer Key from Salesforce
CLIENT_ID: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY_HERE',
// This must match exactly what you configured in Salesforce
REDIRECT_URI: 'centralizedreportingsystem://oauth/salesforce/callback',
// Production: https://login.salesforce.com
// Sandbox: https://test.salesforce.com
AUTH_BASE_URL: 'https://login.salesforce.com',
RESPONSE_TYPE: 'code',
DISPLAY: 'touch',
};
Step 3: Backend Token Exchange
Your backend needs to implement the token exchange endpoint:
Endpoint: POST /api/v1/integrations/manage-token
Request Body:
{
"authorization_code": "aPrxXXXXXXXXX",
"id": "user-uuid",
"service_name": "salesforce",
"access_token": "user-session-token"
}
Backend Should:
- Receive the authorization code
- Exchange it with Salesforce for an access token:
POST https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code &code={AUTH_CODE} &client_id={CLIENT_ID} &client_secret={CLIENT_SECRET} &redirect_uri={REDIRECT_URI} - Store tokens securely (encrypted)
- Return success/failure response
Salesforce Response:
{
"access_token": "00D...ABC",
"refresh_token": "5Aep...XYZ",
"instance_url": "https://yourinstance.salesforce.com",
"id": "https://login.salesforce.com/id/00D.../005...",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"issued_at": "1699999999999"
}
Step 4: Optional - Data Sync Endpoint
If you want to sync Salesforce data, implement:
Endpoint: POST /api/v1/integrations/salesforce/sync/schedule
This is called automatically after successful authentication to initiate data synchronization.
🚀 How to Use
For End Users:
-
Navigate to Integration
- Open app → Integrations tab
- Tap "CRM & Sales Integration"
-
Select Salesforce
- Tap on "Salesforce" service
- If not authenticated, Salesforce login screen will appear
-
Authenticate
- Enter Salesforce credentials
- Complete 2FA if enabled
- Approve OAuth permissions
-
Success
- Authorization code is captured
- Backend exchanges code for tokens
- Processing modal shows progress
- Modal closes automatically on success
-
Re-authenticate (Optional)
- Tap the "Re-auth" button next to Salesforce
- Useful for changing organizations or refreshing permissions

🔒 Security Considerations
-
Never Commit Credentials
- Store Client ID and Secret in environment variables
- Use
.envfiles (don't commit to Git) - Example:
# .env SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID=your_consumer_key SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_consumer_secret
-
Backend Token Storage
- Encrypt tokens before storing
- Use secure database encryption
- Implement token rotation
-
HTTPS Only
- Always use
https://for Salesforce APIs - Never downgrade to HTTP in production
- Always use
-
Minimal Scopes
- Request only necessary OAuth scopes
- Avoid
fullaccess unless required
-
State Parameter (Future Enhancement)
- Consider adding CSRF protection with state parameter
- Validate state on callback
🧪 Testing Checklist
- Create Salesforce Connected App
- Update CLIENT_ID in SalesforceAuth.tsx
- Backend token exchange endpoint is ready
- Build and run the app (both iOS and Android)
- Navigate to CRM & Sales Integration
- Tap Salesforce service
- Complete OAuth flow
- Verify authorization code is captured
- Check backend logs for successful token exchange
- Test re-authentication flow
- Test with Production Salesforce org
- Test with Sandbox Salesforce org (if applicable)
- Verify error handling (wrong credentials, network failure)
- Test deep linking callback on both platforms
🐛 Common Issues & Solutions
Issue 1: "redirect_uri_mismatch"
Solution: Ensure the redirect URI in code exactly matches Salesforce Connected App configuration.
Issue 2: "invalid_client_id"
Solution: Wait 2-10 minutes after creating Connected App, or verify the Client ID is correct.
Issue 3: WebView Doesn't Load
Solution: Check internet connection, verify AUTH_BASE_URL is correct.
Issue 4: App Doesn't Capture Code
Solution: Verify deep linking is configured correctly in Info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml.
Issue 5: Backend Token Exchange Fails
Solution: Verify backend endpoint, check Consumer Secret, ensure authorization code hasn't expired (15 min limit).

Version: 1.0.0
📝 Notes for Developers
- The Salesforce authentication follows the same pattern as Zoho authentication for consistency
- Authorization codes expire in 15 minutes - ensure timely backend exchange
- The
manageTokenAPI endpoint is reused for both Zoho and Salesforce (differentiated byservice_nameparameter) - Deep linking is already configured for the app; Salesforce uses the same scheme
- The component includes comprehensive logging for debugging
- Error handling includes automatic retry functionality
- The processing modal provides user feedback during async operations
Ready to Deploy! 🚀
Once you've completed the configuration steps above, the Salesforce integration will be fully functional. Users will be able to authenticate with their Salesforce accounts directly from the CRM & Sales Integration category.
