What do you want Freshworks CRM and Salesforce to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.
claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)Claude, web and desktop
Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Cursor
Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app
Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Any other MCP client
Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Teams that keep pipeline in Freshworks CRM while reporting from Salesforce end up typing the same deal twice. Connecting the two lets a new Freshworks deal find its Salesforce Account and open an Opportunity, and lets Salesforce Cases or Contact changes land as tasks, notes and records back in Freshworks CRM.

Questions
Freshworks CRM and Salesforce, answered
How does the connection know which Salesforce Account a Freshworks deal belongs to?
Use the Find object records action to match an Account by a field such as name, then create the Opportunity against the Id it returns. If no match comes back, you can hold the step so nothing is created under the wrong Account.
Can updates flow back into Freshworks CRM after something changes in Salesforce?
Yes. The New or updated object record trigger fires when a Salesforce record is created or modified, and from there you can add a note to a contact, create a task, or update a deal in Freshworks CRM.
What can start an automation from Freshworks CRM?
Any of Freshworks CRM's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Deal, New or Updated Account and New Account. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Salesforce when something happens in Freshworks CRM?
Any of Salesforce's 9 actions, including Create object record, Find object records, Update object record and Find most recent created or updated record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Salesforce to Freshworks CRM?
Yes. When something happens in Salesforce, your agent can act in Freshworks CRM too. This page covers both directions: Salesforce's triggers and Freshworks CRM's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Freshworks CRM or Salesforce?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Freshworks CRM and Salesforce without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
