Salesforce Connect Support for the Salesforce App

You can view and search external objects from the Salesforce mobile app, Salesforce on the go!

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience (not for high-data-volume external objects)

Available in: Developer Edition

Available for an extra cost in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

As with custom objects, external objects must be assigned to tabs that users can access, and object permissions must be granted via profiles or permission sets. When you search for an external object, click More in the Recent section to view the search results.

When external objects are used with Salesforce for iOS and Salesforce mobile web on iOS devices, you must select Enable Search in the associated external data sources. Only then external objects appear in these apps. This requirement doesn’t apply to custom adapters for Salesforce Connect.
