RIP Salesforce API Limits 🙃

This post was originally published on LinkedIn.

A lot of non-technical GTM people connecting Claude Code and SFDC are going to get a fun lesson in API Limits

PSA:

  • SFDC has API Limits
  • Go check what your 24 hour limit is and check how close you are to the limit (Setup > Company Information > API Requests Last 24 Hours)
  • Set up notifications when API limits are nearing the threshold
  • Tread carefully before asking Claude to pull data on all your Opps, or update all your Accounts, or pull and analyze a load of data, or anything really, etc
  • And tread VERY carefully before you do any --dangerously-skip-permissions / agentic processes connected to sfdc

If you hit your limit, ALL your SFDC integrations will stop (your marketing automation platform, your sales engagement tool, your BI tool, etc)

Fun times playing with Claude until you make your complete GTM system freeze
