# Salesforce integrations

Work with the Salesforce REST API, SOQL queries and scheduled CRM syncs in Python.

## Get started

Connect to the Salesforce REST API from Python services - credentials, connected apps and the self.salesforce API.

[The REST API from Python](https://zato.io/docs/dev/salesforce/rest-api-python.html)

service.py

```
# Create a Salesforce record
conn = self.salesforce['My Salesforce']
response = conn.post(
    '/sobjects/Campaign/', request)

response['success']
True

response['id']
'701RO00000BpkfMYAR'
```
