Create a Named Credential for Virtual Calls
Create a named credential to specify the URL of an AWS Chime callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters. Then specify the named credential as a callout endpoint to let Salesforce handle all authentication to AWS Chime.
The AWS Cloud Formation template creates a single Identity and Access Management (IAM) user with specific role and permissions defined by IAM policies. An IAM user is a resource (person or application) that can make AWS API requests using its credentials. Coordinate with the AWS admin who performed the AWS Cloud Formation setup to obtain the user's IAM access key and secret, as you need it when configuring the Salesforce Named Credential.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Named Credentials, then select Named Credentials.
-
Click
next to New and select

Important In Winter ’23, Salesforce introduced an improved named credential that is extensible and customizable. Virtual Calls currently requires the Legacy Named Credential. - Enter a label.

In the URL field, enter the base URL for REST endpoints. For example, enter

Choose the same region that the AWS admin chose when connecting AWS to Salesforce.
