Three ways of connecting your Salesforce orgs

Gearset allows you to connect standard Salesforce orgs in three different ways:

  • Sandbox orgs (Developer, Pro Full) via test.salesforce.com.

  • Production orgs, or Developer Edition orgs via login.salesforce.com.

  • And any org connections you want to connect via custom domain option.

How to connect the org via "Custom domain" option

On your Salesforce orgs page in Gearset, click on Add new organization... and select "Custom domain" on the dropdown.

How should my custom domain URL look?

Remember that your "Custom domain" must follow the required format where https:// is present in the URL:

  • https://gearset-35a-dev-ed.develop.my.salesforce.com

Or optionally without https:// but with URL still ending with salesforce.com, like so:

  • gearset-35a-dev-ed.develop.my.salesforce.com

Why is it important that "salesforce.com" is included in the custom domain?

It is particularly important to include salesforce.com at the end of your custom domain's name.

Otherwise, the Connect button in Gearset may remain greyed out, and you won't be able to progress with connecting the org.

Below video shows how to add a new org connection via "Custom domain".

How to find custom domain URL in the org?

In your Salesforce org navigate to Company Settings -> My Domain.
​
Then in this section: "My Domain Details", you'll find "Current My Domain URL".

Note: You must add the entire custom domain URL in Gearset when connecting your org - including the "salesforce.com" at the end of the domain name!
