Define a Named Credential for Salesforce Connect Adapter for GraphQL

Create a named credential that specifies the endpoint URL of a GraphQL API and an external credential to provide the required authentication parameters.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: All Editions
User Permissions Needed
To view named credentials: View Setup and Configuration
To create, edit, or delete named credentials: Customize Applications

To create an external credential that uses AWS Signature Version 4 authentication protocol, see Create and Edit an AWS Signature v4 External Credential. To create a named credential and link it to the external credential, see Create and Edit a Named Credential.

If you’re creating a named credential for GraphQL API URL hosted by AppSync, URL format would be https://<unique identifier>.appsync-api.REGION.amazonaws.com/graphql

For example, if the AWS region is us-west-2, the URL would be https://<unique identifier>.appsync-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/graphql

To get the GraphQL API URL hosted by AppSync, go to AWS AppSync Console > APIs and select the GraphQL API to use. Under Settings > API Details, copy the API URL.
