Connect n8n to live Salesforce data, securely.
CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool — like Salesforce into n8n — for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.
Give Salesforce rich semantic context and real-time data from n8n so it can answer precisely and take safe, effective actions across your business.
Salesforce:
Salesforce is a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) platform that helps businesses manage their sales, marketing, and customer service activities. Force.com is a platform-as-a-service offering from Salesforce that allows users to build and deploy custom applications and websites without the need for traditional software development tools.
n8n:
n8n is a flexible, open-source automation platform for building end-to-end workflows with visual nodes for APIs, databases, and AI providers. With Connect AI, you can power AI nodes in n8n with real-time, governed data from across your business systems—without reverse-ETL jobs, brittle scripts, or manual exports.
Popular n8n & Salesforce integration use cases
- AI-powered approvals and routing — Automate decision steps by grounding AI nodes in live Salesforce data, reducing manual reviews and delays.
- Automated reporting and summaries — Generate status reports, emails, or customer updates using n8n's AI nodes fed with real-time Salesforce records.
- Real-time enrichment and validation — Clean and enrich incoming leads, tickets, or files against Salesforce before they flow to downstream systems.
- Cross-system orchestration — Build multi-step workflows where AI reads from Salesforce and takes action in other tools—always using current, governed data.

Salesforce to n8n Features
Real-time data accessed in-place
Access data where it lives right now. Ensure data is always live, always retains its metadata and semantics, and always protected by source system permissions.

One connection to both explore and take action
Point-and-click connection setup that works for both queries and actions so you can set up integrations in minutes.
Enterprise security and governance
Pass through and edit role-based access control (RBAC) inherited from the source to users in AI and AI agents.
How It Works: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect AI is first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform for AI integration. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants, agents, and automations to external tools and data.
With Connect AI's managed MCP platform, you can present your enterprise systems as standardized MCP tools and resources and call them directly from AI.
Instead of building and maintaining dozens of one-off MCP Servers, your AI simply calls one universal MCP URL from Connect AI, and gets governed access to live data from across your enterprise stack.
Getting Started is Easy:
- Configure data sources (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, SQL, Jira, etc.) in Connect AI.
- Create a 'Remote MCP' URL.
- Connect n8n to your business data.
