Get Your Consumer Key

When you create an external client app, it generates a consumer key, also known as a client ID. This value allows Salesforce to identify your third-party app during headless identity flows. Learn how to get your consumer key so that you can use it when configuring headless flows.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

  1. If you’re not on the external client app detail page from the previous step, go to your app page.
    1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter External, and then select External Client App Manager.
    2. Find your app and click its name. On the app detail page, click the Settings tab.
  2. Expand the OAuth Settings section and click Consumer Key and Secret.
    Salesforce prompts you to verify your identity with one of your registered methods. After you verify your identity, you can see your consumer key.
