  1. Open TranSFlate and click Add Connection
  2. Choose the environment type:
    • Production — for live orgs (login.salesforce.com)
    • Sandbox — for development/testing (test.salesforce.com)
  3. A browser window opens for Salesforce authentication
  4. Log in and authorize TranSFlate

Required permissions
