Salesforce announces New Integration User Licenses: Initial 5 free and Additionals at low costs
After announcing the world’s first AI Generative CRM platform, Einstein GPT, Salesforce has dropped yet another most awaited offering- New Integration user licenses per org, at the recently concluded TrailBlazer DX’23.
Salesforce’s announcement of five free integration user licenses is a significant move that will likely have a positive impact on its customers.
By offering these licenses for free, Salesforce is making it easier and more affordable for businesses to integrate Salesforce with other systems and tools, which will help them streamline their operations and reduce costs.
Here’s a rundown of what’s new and what’s on offer. Take a look!
Integration User License: The Much-Needed Solution
Integration Users in Salesforce serve a unique purpose for third-party tools such as marketing automation, custom API development, etc., and have tailored Profiles and Permission Sets not intended for individual use. Essential for managing large daily record updates, Integration Users provide increased control and visibility by assigning a specific user to each integration, thus restricting access to distinct data sets.
Until now, there was no dedicated user login for connecting Salesforce with another platform, and buying licenses for each API and integration is expensive enough.
But now businesses can assign one user per integration by utilizing the new licenses as this license will grant user access to Salesforce data and features only through an API.
As announced, the five Salesforce Integration user licenses per org will be available in Performance, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions after March 14, 2023.
In addition to that, every Developer Edition organization also comes with one.
Plus, after these five free licenses are exhausted, users can purchase additional ones at $10 per user per month, which is quite a lucrative offer.
Benefits of the dedicated user License
Integration has become increasingly important for businesses, especially with the shift toward digital operations and remote work. This move will also help businesses scale their operations, as they can now give more employees access to Salesforce’s integration features without incurring additional costs.
Here are a few benefits of using a dedicated integration user license-
- Cost efficiency: With a dedicated user license, you only pay for the specific user who is responsible for the integration, instead of paying for a full user license which can be more expensive.
- Increased security: Using a dedicated user license allows you to control access to specific data and features within Salesforce, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Improved scalability: A dedicated user license enables you to scale up your integration efforts without worrying about licensing costs or running out of available licenses.
- Better visibility and tracking: By assigning a dedicated user license to your integration, you can easily track usage and monitor activity within Salesforce.
- Easier Debugging: When issues arise, having a dedicated user license enables you to quickly isolate and address problems related to the integration.
Wrap Up
Summing up, these free and cost-effective integration user licenses could be game changers for businesses and Salesforce integration partners.
