How to integrate Salesforce with Bubble

The simplest valid way to integrate Salesforce with Bubble is to use Bubble’s API Connector and connect to Salesforce’s REST API using OAuth2. After OAuth is set up, you can call Salesforce endpoints (like creating Leads, pulling Accounts, updating Contacts) directly from Bubble workflows, both backend and frontend.

What You Need From Salesforce

Inside Salesforce you create a Connected App. This gives you:

• A Consumer Key (acts like a client ID)
• A Consumer Secret
• A Callback URL (you set it to Bubble’s OAuth redirect URL)

In the Connected App, enable OAuth settings and allow scopes like Full or Access and manage your data (api).

Set Up the Bubble API Connector

In Bubble, install the API Connector plugin. Add a new API and choose OAuth2 User-Agent Flow. Use these fields:

• Auth URL: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize
• Token URL: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
• Client ID = Salesforce Consumer Key
• Client Secret = Salesforce Consumer Secret

Set the Redirect URL to the one Bubble shows. Paste that same URL back into Salesforce Connected App.

Make an Actual Salesforce API Call

After authentication works, you add calls inside the same API. Example for creating a Lead:

{
  "LastName": "Smith",
  "Company": "Bubble Co"
}

Endpoint:

POST https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/data/v57.0/sobjects/Lead

You set the header:

Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

Trigger From Bubble Workflows

Now you can run this API call from any Bubble workflow:

• When user submits a form → Create Lead in Salesforce
• Scheduled backend workflow → Sync data nightly

Remember that Salesforce base URL includes your instance (like na85.salesforce.com). Bubble retrieves it during OAuth; make sure your calls reference that domain.
