Fixing Salesforce Session Settings for Zendesk

Learn how to adjust Salesforce session settings to prevent Zendesk integration disconnection due to IP address locking.

What should I do if my Salesforce session settings are locked to an IP address?

If your Salesforce session settings are locked to an IP address, it can cause the Zendesk for Salesforce integration to disconnect once a session expires. To prevent this, ensure that the 'Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated' checkbox is not selected.

You can change this setting by logging into Salesforce, clicking the cog in the upper right pane, selecting Setup, and navigating to Session Settings under Security. Uncheck the box to allow the integration to function without interruption.
