If you receive the error message “We were unable to authenticate your request” when trying to connect Sales Connect to Salesforce, there might be a restriction on your access to Salesforce’s API. Check with your Salesforce Admin to make sure the following things are in place.

  1. Have a Salesforce Admin log into SFDC.
  2. Select Setup.
  3. Select Manage Users.
  4. Select Profiles.
  5. Find the Profile that the ToutApp users are under and click Edit.
  6. Scroll down to Administrative Permissions and make sure API Enabled is checked.
