# Implement an External Object in an Integration Procedure (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, to access external data, you can define an Integration Procedure that implements a Salesforce External Object.

![Managed Package app icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio_for_managed_packages-264-0-0-production-enus/aa2554ec-624a-4ee6-8da4-6435670e6e62/resources-global/_corporate/images/managedpackageicon.png) This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see [Omnistudio Help](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_omnistudio_standard.htm&language=en_US).

1. Create an Integration Procedure. For Type, specify VlocityExternalObject. For Subtype, specify the desired name for the external object.
2. In the Procedure Configuration section, define table and column settings. These are the same settings you can configure on the Salesforce External Object tab. For detailed information, refer to the Salesforce documentation: [Define External Objects](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=external_object_define.htm&language=en_US) and [External Object Relationships](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=external_object_relationships.htm&language=en_US).
3. Click Activate.
4. In Salesforce, go to the External Data Source tab and navigate to the VlocityExternalObject data source. Click Validate and Sync.
    
    If the operation succeeds, your new external object is now listed on the page.
