4. Fill in the required fields, including the Connected App Name and API Name.

​

Enable OAuth Settings

1. In the connected app settings, check the box for Enable OAuth Settings.
2. Specify the Callback URL (this is the URL where Salesforce will redirect after successful authorization). Ensure it uses HTTPS.
3. Select the OAuth Scopes that define the level of access your app will have. Common scopes include api, refresh_token, and full.
