Select Objects for Change Notifications in the User Interface

To receive notifications on the default standard channel for record changes, select the custom objects and supported standard objects that you’re interested in on the Change Data Capture page.

User Permissions Needed
To view the Change Data Capture page: View Setup and Configuration
To add or modify entity selections: Customize Application

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Change Data Capture, and click Change Data Capture. The Available Entities list shows the objects available in your Salesforce org for Change Data Capture. You can select up to five entities, including standard and custom objects. To enable more entities, contact your Salesforce Account Representative to purchase an add-on license. The add-on license removes the limit on the number of entities you can select. Also, it increases the event delivery allocation for CometD and Pub/Sub API clients. With the add-on license, you can select up to 10 entities at a time in the Available Entities list. After selecting the first 10 entities, you can add more.

The Change Data Capture page shows the object selections for the default standard channel. It doesn’t show the selections for custom channels. See Compose Streams of Change Data Capture Notifications with Custom Channels.

Note

Each list entry is in the format “Entity Label (API Name).” Because an entity label can be renamed, the API name is provided in parentheses to better identify the entity.
