# Salesforce (Sandbox) - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Salesforce Sandbox, you will need:

1. **Hostname** *(optional)* — Your Salesforce sandbox instance hostname.

This guide will walk you through finding your hostname in Salesforce.

### Prerequisites

* A Salesforce sandbox account

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Finding your Hostname

1. Log in to your Salesforce sandbox account.
2. Once logged in, click on your profile to view your hostname (e.g. `acme--sandboxname.sandbox.my.salesforce.com`).

<Note>
  The hostname is optional. If not provided, Nango uses Salesforce's default sandbox login endpoint (`test.salesforce.com`).
</Note>

#### Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **Hostname** (optional):

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Salesforce Sandbox.
2. Enter your **Hostname** in the respective field, or leave it blank to use the default sandbox login endpoint.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
