# Salesforce Connector 11.2 XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

If you manually code a Mule app in XML either from the Anypoint Studio XML editor or a text editor,
perform the following actions to get access to the connector:

- Add the namespace for the connector to your XML flow.

- Add dependency information to your Maven `pom.xml` file.

In the Studio visual editor, when you drag a connector from the palette to the canvas, Studio
automatically populates the XML code with the connector namespace and schema location.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `<mule>` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce/current/mule-salesforce.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the `mule` XML block:

```xml
<mule xmlns:salesforce="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce"
	xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
	xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
	xmlns:file="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file"
	xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
	xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file/current/mule-file.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/current/mule-http.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core/current/mule-ee.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce/current/mule-salesforce.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app. When you code a
Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access to this
connector.

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-salesforce-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `x.x.x` with version information from Exchange. Ensure the connector version corresponds to
the one you are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `salesforce`.

4.  Select the connector.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

After completing your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the
[Salesforce Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/salesforce-connector/11.2/salesforce-connector-examples).
