Salesforce Chatter Connector 24.1

# Create an Application to Represent the Connector

To retrieve information from Salesforce Chatter, you must go to the Salesforce Web site and create an application to represent the connector. When you create the app, select Enable OAuth Settings and add the OAuth scopes `chatter_api` and `refresh_token`. After you have created the application, Salesforce returns a consumer key and consumer secret (sometimes called an application key and application secret). Make a note of these because you will need them to configure the connector.

TIP: When you create the application, ensure that the redirect URL matches the URL where the IDOL Connector OAuth configuration tool will run. By default, this is `http://localhost:7878/oauth`.

For more information about setting up the application and obtaining the consumer key and consumer secret, refer to the Salesforce Chatter developer documentation.
