# Salesforce API for AI Agents

Connect the Salesforce API to your AI agent through Swytchcode. Call the Salesforce API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

## Use cases

### What can you build with the Salesforce API?

1. Call Salesforce directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the Salesforce API surface.
3. Chain Salesforce with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to Salesforce in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

## Setup guide

### How to connect the Salesforce API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every Salesforce call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1. **Install the CLI**  
   Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.

2. **Pull the manifest**  
   Run "swytchcode get salesforce" to pull the Salesforce API manifest, including its schema and available actions.

3. **Authenticate once**  
   Provide your Salesforce API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.

4. **Call it from your agent**  
   Run "swytchcode exec salesforce.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

### Code

```
swytchcode get salesforce
swytchcode exec salesforce.<action> --key value
```
