Let's Create a Flow to Integrate Salesforce and OneDrive

Let's get started by creating a flow that integrates Salesforce and OneDrive!
This time, we will use Yoom to proceed with the integration of Salesforce and OneDrive without any code, so if you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one from the Yoom registration form.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot to "Sync files uploaded in Salesforce to OneDrive"!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.

  • Integrate Salesforce and OneDrive with My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set up Salesforce triggers and configure each action
  • Set the trigger to ON and verify the operation

1. Connect Salesforce with My Apps

Log in to Yoom, click on "My Apps" on the left side of the Yoom management screen, and select "+ Add" displayed on the right side.

Enter Salesforce in the search box at the top right and select it from the search results.
If two apps are displayed here, click on the Salesforce that does not say (Sandbox environment).

Clicking will switch to the Salesforce login page. Log in with the account you want to use and allow access.

Paid plans such as the Team Plan and Success Plan offer a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps that are subject to restrictions, so please take this opportunity to try them out!

2. Register OneDrive with My Apps

Similarly, search for OneDrive in the search box and select it.
When you log in with the Microsoft account you want to connect, it will automatically be linked with Yoom.

*Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) has a Home Plan and a General Business Plan (Microsoft 365 Business), and if you are not subscribed to the General Business Plan, authentication may fail.

If Salesforce and OneDrive are displayed in My Apps, the connection is complete!
