Case Study: Salesforce simplifies lead creation with WorkOS Pipes

Salesforce creates leads in minutes with WorkOS, no OAuth plumbing needed

Salesforce needed to create leads in their users' individual Salesforce orgs directly from their own application, but the process was hindered by the immense complexity of building and maintaining a secure, multi-tenant OAuth integration. This would have required days of development work to handle authentication flows, token storage, and refresh logic before a single lead could be created.

WorkOS solved this challenge by implementing its Pipes product, which completely removed the need for Salesforce to build any OAuth plumbing. By using the pre-built Pipes widget for user connections and calling the WorkOS API to fetch fresh access tokens, Salesforce was able to immediately and securely create lead records in their users' orgs without managing tokens or writing callback endpoints, dramatically accelerating their development timeline.
