Language IO Integrations for Salesforce | Installing the Managed Package, Creating an Integration User, and Authorizing Access

To translate Knowledge articles or provide human translations for outbound Case emails, Language IO needs programmatic access to your Salesforce org. External Client Apps (ECAs) are the modern, packageable Salesforce frameworks that allow third parties secure, limited access. Language IO conveniently distributes two pre-configured ECAs within our Language IO Integrations managed package:

  • Language IO Knowledge Integration: Language IO's ECA for Language IO Article (Knowledge article translation).
  • Language IO Case Integration: Language IO's ECA for Language IO Case (human translation of outbound Case emails).

Follow the steps below to install the managed package and, for the relevant ECA, create a dedicated integration user and authorize Language IO's secure, limited access to your Salesforce org.

Note: If you have previously authorized Language IO's access to your Salesforce org via a Connected App or External Client App, you must submit a support request to reset those app credentials before the authorizing access step.

Installing Language IO Integrations for Salesforce

Complete the following instructions to install or upgrade Language IO Integrations for Salesforce.

Important: The latest version is 1.1 2GP (Release Notes | Language IO Integrations for Salesforce).

Installation URL

Important: To complete the installation URL, replace "{my_salesforce_domain}" with your Salesforce domain (e.g., "https://languageio.my.salesforce.com/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=...").
  • Language IO Integrations 1.1 2GP:
    https://{my_salesforce_domain}/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04tak000000IP0rAAG

Installing the Package

  1. In a browser, enter the installation URL.
  2. If prompted, log in to your Salesforce org.
  3. Select "Install for All Users".
  4. Click "Install" (or "Upgrade").
  5. A message describes the progress. You will receive a confirmation message when the installation is complete.

Creating your Salesforce Integration User

Create a dedicated Salesforce integration user for the relevant ECA (Language IO Knowledge Integration or Language IO Case Integration):

Note: If you already have a Language IO integration user, you do not need to create a new one. Ensure that your integration user's permissions match those provided in this article.
Best practice: The integration user defines Language IO's access scope. It should be a least-privilege account with the permissions provided in this article.
  1. In Salesforce, go to Setup → Users.
  2. Click "New User".
  3. Set an email address you can access (to verify the user and set a password).
  4. Assign a "User License" and "Profile".
    Best Practice: Assign the "Salesforce Integration" user license, if available. Then, assign the "Salesforce API Only System Integrations" profile and "Salesforce API Integration" Permission Set License Assignment. See Configuring Integration User Permissions for more information.
  5. Fill out the remaining required user details.
  6. Check "Generate new password and notify user immediately".
  7. Click "Save".
  8. Salesforce will send a verification email to the new user's email.
  9. Verify the account and set a password.
  10. Save this user's username and password to authorize secure access.

Configuring Integration User Permissions

Best practice: Create a dedicated permission set for your integration user to facilitate permission management and preauthorize ECA access.

General Permissions (Required for Both ECAs)

Your integration user must have Salesforce API access. Language IO recommends assigning your integration user:

  • "Salesforce Integration" user license.
  • "Minimum Access - API Only Integrations" profile (enable “API enabled” and “API only” permissions).
  • "Salesforce API Integration" permission set license (extend API access to Knowledge and Case).

Otherwise, ensure the user has "API enabled" and "API only" permissions enabled.

Preauthorizing your Integration User for ECA Access

Language IO recommends preauthorizing ECA access for your Language IO integration user only.

  1. If you haven't already, create a dedicated permission set for your integration user and assign your integration user.
  2. Go to Setup → External Client App Manager.
  3. Find the relevant ECA (Language IO Knowledge Integration or Language IO Case Integration).
  4. From the dropdown to the right, choose "Edit Policies" (or click "Edit" under the ECA's "Policies" tab). 
  5. Under "OAuth Policies", change "Permitted Users" to "Admin approved users are pre-authorized".
  6. Under "App Policies", select your integration user's dedicated permission set.
  7. Click "Save".

Authorizing Access

Complete the steps below to authorize Language IO's access to your Salesforce org via the relevant ECA.

Important:
  • If you have previously authorized Language IO's access to your Salesforce org via a Connected App or External Client App, you must submit a support request to reset those app credentials before completing these steps.
  • You must be a Language IO Customer Self-Service Portal (CSSP) admin.
  • You must have your Salesforce integration user credentials.
  • For consumers restricted to our EU infrastructure, substitute our EU third-level domain (eu.golinguist.com) in the links provided.

  3. Log in with your Customer Self-Service Portal (CSSP) admin user credentials.
  4. You will be redirected to your Salesforce org login page.
  5. Log in to your Salesforce org with your Integration User credentials.
  6. Click "Allow" to allow Language IO access to the required OAuth scopes.
  7. If authorization is successful, you will be redirected to a Language IO success page.

    1. Open this URL to log out of your CSSP session: https://golinguist.com/linguistnow/launch/logout
    2. Restart authorizing access.
