1. As an Admin, log into the Salesforce instance that has the Apty Connector Package installed. At the top right corner of the screen click the Gear icon and from the menu select Developer Console.

4. Modify the class as needed. For example, if you want to add a given account’s attributes to the user object (assuming that the user owns only one account) then you can add the highlighted lines of code.
In the example below we are selecting 2 standard Salesforce Account entity attributes:
- LastViewedDate, and
- Name.
- Custom field attributes can be pulled in this query as well. For more details on how custom fields are added in Salesforce, refer to this article.
- Once modified, make sure to save the changes in a file.

var account = storeResponse.account[0];

Once modified, make sure to save the changes in a file.
8. You can test if the connector works as expected by navigating to https://yourSFDCDomain.force.com/c/aptySalesforceIntegration.app and verifying that the returned JSON object contains the data you need.
