# Overview of Salesforce integrations

## Salesforce Cloud Identity Connector

The Salesforce Cloud Identity Connector allows PingFederate to use Salesforce as an identity provider (IdP). This allows users to access service provider (SP) applications by signing on with Salesforce.

## Salesforce Connector

The PingFederate Salesforce Connector extends PingFederate capabilities to allow enterprises to provide secure single sign-on (SSO) with user provisioning to Salesforce Customer Relations Management (CRM) and Chatter platforms.

## Salesforce Contacts Connector

The Salesforce Contacts Connector allows PingFederate to provision "lead" and "contact" records to Salesforce Contacts based on changes in a datastore attached to PingFederate.
