🎉 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=touch parameter
  • 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.plist with CFBundleURLTypes for 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

  1. Access Salesforce Setup

    • Log in to Salesforce (Production or Sandbox)
    • Click gear icon (⚙️) → Setup
  2. Create Connected App

    • Navigate to App Manager
    • Click "New Connected App"
    • Fill in basic information:
      • Name: Centralized Reporting System
      • Contact Email: Your email
  3. 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)
  4. 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:

  1. Receive the authorization code
  2. 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}
    
  3. Store tokens securely (encrypted)
  4. 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:

  1. Navigate to Integration

    • Open app → Integrations tab
    • Tap "CRM & Sales Integration"
  2. Select Salesforce

    • Tap on "Salesforce" service
    • If not authenticated, Salesforce login screen will appear
  3. Authenticate

    • Enter Salesforce credentials
    • Complete 2FA if enabled
    • Approve OAuth permissions
  4. Success

    • Authorization code is captured
    • Backend exchanges code for tokens
    • Processing modal shows progress
    • Modal closes automatically on success
  5. Re-authenticate (Optional)

    • Tap the "Re-auth" button next to Salesforce
    • Useful for changing organizations or refreshing permissions

🔒 Security Considerations

  1. Never Commit Credentials

    • Store Client ID and Secret in environment variables
    • Use .env files (don't commit to Git)
    • Example:
      # .env
      SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID=your_consumer_key
      SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_consumer_secret
      
  2. Backend Token Storage

    • Encrypt tokens before storing
    • Use secure database encryption
    • Implement token rotation
  3. HTTPS Only

    • Always use https:// for Salesforce APIs
    • Never downgrade to HTTP in production
  4. Minimal Scopes

    • Request only necessary OAuth scopes
    • Avoid full access unless required
  5. 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).

📝 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 manageToken API endpoint is reused for both Zoho and Salesforce (differentiated by service_name parameter)
  • 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.
