Click the Import button.
You’ll be prompted to link the Salesforce connected account you created earlier.
Click the Import button again.
You should see the following:
Test the integration behaviors
Click on Salesforce Bot and then click Behaviors on its card.
Open the card for the List account records behavior.
Click on the Simulator button at the top of the card.
Click the Simulate button.
You should see a JSON response with account records.
You can use the simulator on the other behaviors to test them as well.
Next steps
At this point you can modify the behaviors to meet your needs. You can use the responses from the Salesforce API in your behaviors.
