Expected Behavior

Connector is created.

Actual Behavior

Connector does not create

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

Attempting to add an empty oauth block crashes the plugin, make this change to the code to force it to crash.

connector_profile_credentials {
      salesforce {
        client_credentials_arn = aws_secretsmanager_secret.appflow_salesforce_credentials.arn
        oauth_request {

        }
      }
    }

Hi @Rafno,

I believe you need to pass in an auth initially. You can do this by created a custom connected app and authenticating it with a Salesforce account you want to use.

You're initial sync would then look like this

resource "aws_appflow_connector_profile" "salesforce_connector" {

  # ...

  connector_profile_config {
    connector_profile_credentials {
      salesforce {
        client_credentials_arn = aws_secretsmanager_secret.appflow_salesforce_credentials.arn
        auth_code    = <YOUR_AUTH_CODE_HERE>
          redirect_uri = "http://localhost"
        }
      }
    }

    # ...
  }
}

It would be good to use a sensitive variable for this, eg. var.appflow_salesforce_auth_code where appflow_salesforce_auth_code is

variable "appflow_salesforce_auth_code" {
  sensitive = true
}
