# Create a Data Cloud Salesforce CRM Connection

Before installing the Service data bundle and Proactive Asset Service, connect Data Cloud to Salesforce CRM.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-connected_assets-264-0-0-production-enus/eb4c6dd7-4aef-4e97-9c56-46929d5b166e/images/icon_important.png)

Important For Summer ‘24, Proactive Asset Service supports only a Salesforce CRM connection.

1. On the Proactive Asset Service setup page, click **Connect** for the Create the Data Cloud Salesforce CRM Connection step.
2. Ensure you have a Salesforce CRM connection. If you don’t, click **New** and then click **Connect** for the Salesforce org.

Your Salesforce org is now connected as a data source. For additional information, see [Salesforce CRM Connector](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_salesforce_crm_connector.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
