If you’re looking to enhance your language models by integrating Salesforce and OpenAI, you’re in the right place!

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your own BYOM connection on OpenAI and configuring Salesforce to work seamlessly with GPTfy and OpenAI.

Prerequisites:

1. OpenAI account with access to OpenAI service.

2. OpenAI API key.

3. Salesforce instance with administrator access.

What to expect?

By the end of this guide, you’ll have a secure and efficient integration that allows you to leverage the power of OpenAI within your Salesforce environment for more informed and context-aware communication.

Step 2: Look for API Keys

Step 3: Make sure you have a secret key or generate one.

Salesforce Setup:

To configure a Salesforce org. to work seamlessly with GPTfy and OpenAI, follow these steps:

  • External Credential: Create an external credential to store your OpenAI key.
  • Add a Principal: Principals are created to manage and streamline the authentication process when Salesforce makes callouts to external systems.
  • Custom Header: Capture and integrate ‘Secret Key’ from OpenAI into Salesforce.
  • Permission Set: Develop a permission set for managing external calls to OpenAI on OpenAI.
  • External Credential Principal Access: Select the appropriate Available External Credential Principal and save.
  • Named Credentials: Define Named Credentials with the following:

    • URL: Copy the ‘Endpoint’ from OpenAI and paste it into Salesforce.
    • External Credential: Select the one you created in Step 1 of this section.
    • Allowed Namespace: ccai

Salesforce GPTfy Configurations
