Data Collected

Once Reforge Insight Analytics and Salesforce are connected successfully, data will be pulled from periodically. The first time Reforge Insight Analytics loads data, it will look back 1 week. After that, it will ingest all new data up to your plan’s feedback volume limit.

Only notes from opportunities in the “Closed-Won” status will be ingested. This is to ensure that the feedback you receive is based on successful sales outcomes and actual paying customers.

The following table describes how data is mapped from Salesforce into Reforge Insight Analytics.

Common Issues

OAUTH_APP_BLOCKED

The most common issue we see with connecting Salesforce is “OAUTH_APP_BLOCKED”. This is likely due to configuration in your Salesforce organization that restricts users from connecting new apps via OAuth. If you hit this error, please have a user with admin access in Salesforce complete the following steps: If you see an error like OAUTH_APP_BLOCKED when trying to install the integration, your Salesforce admin needs to allow access to the app.

1

Go to Setup → Connected Apps OAuth Usage

You can search “Connected Apps OAuth Usage” in the Setup search bar.

2

Find "Reforge Insight Analytics" in the list

3

Click Manage next to the app name

4

On the next screen, click Edit Policies

5

Under Permitted Users, choose one of the following options

  • Self-authorization (easier setup): Select “All users may self-authorize” → Save. You’re done.

  • Admin-approved access (more control): Select “Admin approved users are pre-authorized” → Save. → Then scroll down and add the appropriate Profiles or Permission Sets under “Profiles” or “Custom Permissions” so your users can access the app.
