Salesforce is rolling out mandatory security updates to how connected apps handle OAuth authentication.
What does this mean for me?
To keep your Qlik Automate Salesforce connector working after Tuesday, 5th May 2026, you'll need to take a quick, one-time action: update a setting in your connection and re-authenticate to Salesforce.
This cannot be done automatically, nor can it be done before the release. A manual step is required on or after the 5th of May.
Qlik Automate has updated the Salesforce connector to comply with these new security requirements. However, because of the nature of this change, existing connections cannot be migrated automatically.
What action do I need to take?
Follow these steps after the release on Tuesday, the 5th of May:
Open your Salesforce connection settings, navigate to the Salesforce connection in Qlik Automations, and open its configuration.
Add your domain. In the connection settings, locate the Enhanced_domain field (an existing input field) and enter your Salesforce org's custom domain.
Make sure to include the "my" suffix if your domain has it. By using this, the 'environment' input is ignored.
If you're unsure of your domain, you can find it in your Salesforce org under Setup → My Domain.
Re-authenticate. Once your domain is entered, you'll be prompted to log in to Salesforce again and authorize the updated app. Complete the login flow to re-establish the connection.
Verify the connection. Run a test automation that uses the Salesforce connection to confirm everything is working correctly.
What happens if I don't act?
If you don't complete these steps after the release date, your Salesforce automations will stop working and return a 401 Unauthorized error. No data will be lost, but you will need to complete the steps above to restore access.
