You can use a connection with a Salesforce Sandbox Org as a standalone connection. However, to use all licensed DAP or DC features in your Sandboxes as well, link the Salesforce Sandbox connections to your Production license. Read more in Licenses‍.


Managing Connections

Click on a Connection to see its details, such as the type of connection, and the Org ID or environment ID. At top right you also have a few managing options.

Edit button Edit Edit the name of the connection and add a description, to quickly see which connection it concerns.
Pause button Pause Temporarily deactivate the connection. A paused connection will no longer retrieve jobs from Salesforce or Dynamics 365. After pausing, the job history for the connection is still available.
Activate button Activate Re-activate the connection to start retrieving jobs again.
Delete button Delete Delete the connection. After deletion, the job history for the connection will stay available.

Re-authorizing a Connection

Connections can expire, for example when tokens are retracted. This is indicated for each Connection in the Connections overview: the Connection is marked as 'Connection inactive'.
Click Re-authorize to authorize a Connection again, or create a new Connection for the Org or environment. This will also re-activate any scheduled jobs that were on Holding due to the inactivity. If you create a new Connection for your Org or environment, the same settings as for the previous Connection will be used.
The Job History for inactive, expired Connections will stay available.
