Create a Connected App for the Consumer Goods Offline Mobile App

To enable the Consumer Goods Cloud offline mobile app integrate with Salesforce via APIs, use the default connected app. From Spring’24, the CG Cloud offline mobile app comes integrated with a default Consumer Goods Cloud connected app. To switch to a company-specific or custom connected app, you can create a custom org and share its QR code with your sales reps to connect their CG Cloud offline mobile app to this custom connected app.
