Connecting Live Salesforce Data Sources to Your AI Bot
In this lesson, you will learn how to connect your AI bot to dynamic, real-time data sources—specifically pulling live Salesforce Opportunity records into your bot’s knowledge base without writing any code.
Step 1: Open Bot Settings & Data Sources
-
Open your bot inside the Noca AI builder interface.
-
Click the Settings gear icon in the top right menu.
-
Select Data Sources from the left-hand navigation.
Step 2: Create a New Data Source Flow
-
Click the + (plus icon) in the Data Sources menu.
-
If you don’t already have an existing flow for your data source, click Create a New Source at the bottom of the pop-up modal.
-
This will launch the Flow Builder.
Step 3: Configure the Salesforce Connection
-
In the Flow Builder, select Salesforce Source as your data source type.
-
Under Select an Object, choose Opportunity.
-
In the right-hand panel:
-
Ensure it is set to fetch all opportunities.
-
Under Available Fields, enable access to Custom / All Fields so the bot can read detailed record data.
-
Step 4: Name and Publish the Flow
-
Click the draft title at the top left and give your flow a clear name (e.g.,
Bot Salesforce Opps). -
Click Publish (or Go Live) in the top right to make the data source active.
Step 5: Attach the Data Source to Your Bot
-
Return to your bot’s Settings > Data Sources tab.
-
Click the refresh icon next to the search bar to reveal your new flow.
-
Select Bot Salesforce Opps from the list to attach it as a live data source.
-
Close the Settings modal.
Step 6: Test Your Live Data Connection
-
Click Run (or launch a new draft chat) in the top right corner.
-
Ask your bot a question requiring live Salesforce data (e.g., “Summarize all my Salesforce opportunities”).
-
Observe the result: The bot will query Salesforce in real time and return an instant summary including total pipeline value, stage breakdown, and opportunity counts.
