They allow admins to configure authentication details without hardcoding sensitive information in Apex or storing secrets in plain text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This concept works alongside <strong>Named Credentials<\/strong>, providing an abstraction layer that simplifies external callouts by encapsulating the authentication mechanism and connection details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Use Cases for External Credentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">External credentials shine in the following scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>REST API Integrations<\/strong>: When Salesforce needs to call an external API (e.g., payment gateways, CRMs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secure Callouts<\/strong>: Apex callouts to services like AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>External Services in Flows<\/strong>: For no-code integrations using Salesforce Flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These use cases benefit from the flexibility and centralized control external credentials offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of Using External Credentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s why Salesforce external credentials are gaining traction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Centralized Management<\/strong>: Store and manage secrets in one place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhanced Security<\/strong>: Supports advanced auth protocols and secret rotation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seamless Integrations<\/strong>: Compatible with low-code tools like Flow and standard Apex callouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance Ready<\/strong>: Helps meet security standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prerequisites for Implementing External Credentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving in, ensure your org meets the requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Requirement<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Salesforce Edition<\/td><td>Available in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Performance editions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Permissions Needed<\/td><td><code>Modify All Data<\/code>, <code>Manage External Credential<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Feature Activation<\/td><td>Named Credentials must be enabled<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up External Credentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s walk through the setup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create an External Credential<\/strong><br>Go to <em>Setup > External Credentials<\/em> and click \u201cNew\u201d.
