# Salesforce Data Cloud Connector 1.3

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

Anypoint Connector for Salesforce Data Cloud (Salesforce Data Cloud Connector) provides a quick and
easy way to integrate with Salesforce Data Cloud API endpoints. You can automate data ingestion from
third parties, query the Data Cloud Data Lake, search and query customer profile information and
calculated insights, and consume data action events to enrich the 360-degree view of the customers
in your Data Cloud instance.

Each API call uses a request/response pattern over an HTTPS connection. All required request
headers, error handling, and HTTPS connection configurations are built into the connector.

For information about compatibility and fixed issues, refer to the Salesforce Data Cloud Connector
release notes.

## Before You Begin

To use this connector, you must be familiar with:

- [The Salesforce Data Cloud Ingestion API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/data-cloud-ingestionapi-ref/c360-a-api-get-started.html)

- [Anypoint Connectors](https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectors/introduction/introduction-to-anypoint-connectors)

- [Mule runtime engine](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/) (Mule)

- [Elements and global elements](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/global-elements) in a Mule flow

- [How to create a Mule app using Anypoint Studio](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/mule-app-dev)

Before creating an app, you must have:

- [Set up the Ingestion API](#set-up-the-ingestion-api)

- Credentials to access the Salesforce Data Cloud target resource

## Common Use Cases For the Connector

These are some common use cases for Salesforce Data Cloud Connector:

- Stream data via insert and delete object endpoints of the Ingestion API Connector

- Create a bulk job, upload job data, close or abort a job, get a job status, retrieve all bulk
  jobs, and delete a job as part of the Bulk Ingestion interaction pattern of the Ingestion API
  Connector

- Query Data Cloud objects

- Query Salesforce Data Cloud data lake across data model, lake, unified, and linked objects

- Query calculated insights with selected dimensions, selected measures, and optional filters

- Look up and search customer profile information

- Create webhooks as data action targets for data actions in Data Cloud
