ExternalServicesSettings

Parent Type and Manifest Access

File Suffix and Directory Location

ExternalServicesSettings values are stored in the externalServicesSettings.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components, because there is only one settings file for each settings component.

Version

ExternalServicesSettings components are available in API version 47.0 to 55.0. This metadata type is removed in version 56.0 and later.

As of Winter ’23, External Services automatically validates the schema and provides detailed messages for any errors in the UI at registration time so that you can make corrections. See Register an External Service in Salesforce Help.
