# Configuring and Testing of SaaSify Package in Salesforce

SaaSify PSM will provide the following information:

1. UserName to setup the External Credentials
2. Password to setup the External Credentials
3. URL to update in the Named Credentials

> [!NOTE]
> ***Note:*** *Ensure you have all the above details provided by the PSM.*

Once the SaaSify Package is installed, we need to make sure that the Named Credentials (External and Named Credentials) are set up properly by following the steps below for successful integration of Salesforce with the SaaSify platform.

This is a two-step process. First, we need to set up the External Credentials and then set up the Named Credentials.

## Setting up External Credentials

1. Navigate to **Setup (Gear icon)** and select **Setup** from the drop-down
2. Under Quick Find, Search for **Named Credentials** and click on it
3. Navigate to the **External Credentials** tab, Click on **New**
4. Enter the **Label** (Example: **SaaSify API Credential**)
5. In the **Name** field provide the following values: **SaaSify_API_Credential** (**Note:** Make sure not to include any spaces when you paste this value)
6. Under **Authentication Protocol**, select **Custom** from the drop-down and click **Save**
7. Scroll down to the **Principals** section and click on **New** of the External Credentials that you created.
8. Enter the **Parameter Name** (Example: **Credential**)
9. In the **Authentication Parameters** section, select "**Add**" to include **Parameter 1**.
  1. Provide the Name as **UserName** (Ensure that ‘U’ and ‘N’ are in Uppercase)
  2. Provide the Value (This will be provided by the SaaSify PSM)
10. In the same **Authentication Parameters** section, select "**Add**" to include **Parameter 2**.
  1. Provide the Name as **Password** (Ensure that ‘P’ is in Uppercase)
  2. Provide the Value (This will be provided by the SaaSify PSM)
11. Click **Save**.

## Setting up Named Credentials

1. After saving the above configuration (External Credentials), navigate to the **Named Credentials** from Quick Find, then select **Named Credentials** tab and select "**New**"
2. Enter the **Label** (Example: **SaaSify API Connection**)
3. In the **Name** field provide the following value: **SaaSify_API_Connection**
4. Enter the **URL** (This will be provided by SaaSify PSM)
5. Ensure that **Enabled for Callouts** is enabled
6. In the **Authentication** section, choose **SaaSify API Credential** for the **External Credential** option
7. In the **Callout Options**, make sure to enable both "**Allow Formulas in HTTP Header**" and "**Allow Formulas in HTTP Body**." (**Note:** Ensure **Generate Authorization Header** is not checked)
8. In the **Managed Package Access** section, enter "**Spektra_SaaSify**" into the **Allowed Namespaces** field
9. Click **Save**

## How to create a Permission set for Named Credentials and assign to a User

### Creating the Permission set for Named Credentials

1. Navigate to Setup (Gear icon) and select **Setup** from the drop-down
2. Under Quick Find, search for **Permission Sets** and click on it
3. Click on **New** to create a new permission set
4. Provide the **Label Name** as **SaaSify End Point Access**
5. **API Name** will be auto populated
6. Click on **Save**

### Configure the created Permission Set

After creating the permission set, apply the following settings to it:

1. User External Credentials
2. External Credential Principal Access

#### User External Credentials

- Open the newly created Permission set and search for **Object Settings** present under **Apps**
- Click on **Object Settings**
- Search for **User External Credentials** and click on it
- Click on **Edit** and enable **Read** permission by selecting the checkbox
- Click on **Save**

#### External Credential Principal Access

- Click on **Permission Sets** and click on the Permission set created in [above steps](/v1/docs/configuration-of-saasify-package-in-salesforce#creating-the-permission-set-for-named-credentials)
- Search for **External Credentials Principal Access** and click on it
- Click on Edit
- Under **Available External Credential Principals**, select “**SaaSify_API_Credential –Credential**”
- Select "**Add**" to include it in the list of **Enabled External Credential Principals**
- Click **Save**

#### Assigning the Permission set to a User

1. Under Quick Find, search for **Users** and click on it
2. Search for the user to whom you want to assign permission and click on the email of the user
3. Search for **Permission Set Assignments** and click on **Edit Assignments**
4. Under **Available Permission Sets**, search for the Permission Set (E.g. **SaaSify Admin, SaaSify End Point Access**)
5. Select "**Add**" to include it in the list of **Enabled Permission Sets**
6. Click **Save**

Now, this User will be able to validate the [Connection](/v1/docs/configuration-of-saasify-package-in-salesforce#testing-the-connection) between SaaSify Web Portal and Salesforce

## How to assign Named Credentials to a Profile

1. User External Credentials
2. External Credential Principal Access

### User External Credentials

5. Click on **Edit**
6. Under **Permission Name**, enable the **Read** permission by enabling the checkbox
7. Click on **Save**

or, If you are **not using Enhanced Profile User Interface**, then follow the steps mentioned below:
