Display Salesforce Dashboards with MFA using Web Scripting

Displaying Salesforce Dashboards on your digital screens is crucial to getting real-time data directly to who needs it. Let's go through how to set up your MFA-protected Salesforce Dashboard by using our Web Scripting app!

Things You'll Need:

Setting Up MFA

If you don't already have MFA set up for your Salesforce account, please visit their support article: Multi-Factor Authentication for Salesforce Orgs.

Next, go to your account settings > My Personal Information > Advanced User Details

From there, click "Connect" on "App Registration: One-Time Password Authenticator"

Copy and paste the alphanumeric string displayed underneath "Key". Save this key somewhere secure, like the Notepad app. 

  • This is necessary for the web scripting process later. 

Next, enter that setup key in your authenticator app, then enter the verification code into Salesforce, and connect!

Save the setup key that Salesforce provides you.

Your MFA is now set up!

Record & Set Up Your Web Scripting App
