Use the Consent API with Salesforce CDP

The Consent API supports Salesforce CDP (Customer Data Platform). Use the Consent API to read and write to the Salesforce CDP profile. Contact your Salesforce Representative for consumer rights guidance within Salesforce CDP.

Required Permissions

To use the Salesforce CDP parameters for the Consent API, you must have either the ModifyAllData or the ConsentApiUpdate user permission. Requiring a perm ensures that the Salesforce admin gives explicit permission. These parameters write org-wide consent data, such as links between records and the value of consent flags, which are usually inaccessible to non-admin users.
