“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
SalesforceYou can set upreport sync to Google Sheets using service account-style credentials that provide centralized credential management and enhanced security for automated report synchronization.
Here’s how to implement enterprise-grade authentication with dedicated integration credentials and administrative oversight.
Service account authentication setup using Coefficient
Coefficientsupports enterprise-grade authentication methods including service account-style credentials that enable IT administrators to manage integration credentials centrally while maintaining secure, uninterrupted data flows with proper audit trails.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create dedicated integration user in Salesforce.
Set up a dedicated integration user in Salesforce with appropriate permissions for required reports and objects. Assign minimal necessary permissions following the principle of least privilege – API access, report access, and object read permissions only. Apply IP restrictions to the integration user when applicable for enhanced security.
Step 2. Configure Coefficient authentication with integration credentials.
Use the integration user credentials for OAuth connection setup in Coefficient. This approach provides centralized credential management where IT administrators control Salesforce integration credentials without relying on individual user accounts, preventing synchronization failures due to personal account changes.
Step 3. Implement security best practices and monitoring.
Regular credential rotation by updating integration user passwords according to security policies. Monitor integration user permissions through regular audits to ensure appropriate access levels are maintained. Integration activities appear under the dedicated service account for clear audit tracking.
Step 4. Enable scalable deployment and change management.
Use the same service account credentials to support multiple Google Sheets integrations across your organization. Centralized credential updates don’t require individual user coordination, and dedicated integration credentials avoid personal user API limit conflicts while ensuring performance consistency.
