# Integrating Salesforce Data Cloud
{: #data_stream_salesforce}

## About this task
{: #salesforce_integration1}

Salesforce Data Cloud provides a native connector that enables you to federate data in IBM® watsonx.data. This integration allows you to query objects directly from watsonx.data using Salesforce Data Cloud and combine with other data sources for advanced analytics.

This integration is configured from within Salesforce Data Cloud, not from the watsonx.data console.

## Setting up the integration
{: #salesforce_integration2}

For complete instructions on configuring the Salesforce Data Cloud connector for watsonx.data, refer to the official Salesforce documentation:

**[IBM watsonx.data File Federation Connector](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-ibmwatsonx-file-fed-connector.html)**

The Salesforce documentation provides detailed information on:

- Prerequisites and requirements
- Connector configuration
- Authentication setup
- Data object selection
- Testing and troubleshooting
