What service(s) is this request for?

Heroku Connect

Tell us about what you're trying to solve. What challenges are you facing?

We connect multiple Heroku Connect instances to a single app connecting to many different Salesforce Orgs.

However, in the Add-ons list and via the API, there is no way to tell which Heroku Connect is connecting with which org (see image).

This means that the only way to find the correct Heroku Connect resource is to individually click through each one, wait for the page to load, and click Manage Salesforce and get the org ID, which takes upwards of 30 seconds PER CONNECTION so to find the org id in question in a list of 20 connections is roughly 10 minutes of uninterrupted work. See video:

In addition, the API does not provide any further insight:

$ heroku addons -a app-ba55612eb2

 └─ as HEROKUCONNECT_BROWN

herokuconnect (herokuconnect-transparent-14039)  enterprise  contract      contract   created
 └─ as HEROKUCONNECT

Querying the addon specifically also gives no extra useful data about the Salesforce Org ID connected to:

$ heroku addons:info herokuconnect-amorphous-54714 -a app-ba55612eb2
=== herokuconnect-amorphous-54714
Attachments:  app-ba55612eb2::HEROKUCONNECT_ROSE
Installed at: Thu May 09 2024 09:12:52 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
Max Price:    contract
Owning app:   app-ba55612eb2
Plan:         herokuconnect:enterprise
Price:        contract
State:        created

What we would like is to expose the Salesforce Org ID both on the Add-ons page directly as well as in the API calls... but honestly, either one would be great.
