How Does Ambition Interact with Salesforce?

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Ambition is an Authorized Salesforce Partner, and its Managed Package passed Salesforce's security review to be listed on the AppExchange. It only reads the Salesforce data you choose to send it, like the Opportunities behind a revenue metric.

Required permissions:

  • The Integrations: Edit permission is required to modify your team's Salesforce integration, including syncing Objects, Fields, and Reports.

What Data Ambition Can Access

Ambition has read-only access to the Salesforce Objects and Fields you select when building metrics. This can include Standard Objects, such as Opportunities, Tasks, and Events, and your Custom Objects. Ambition only queries and stores the data that you choose to have Salesforce send.

How Often Data Is Sent

  • Object data: About every 45 seconds with the Managed Package.

  • Report data: On the sync interval you choose: every 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 1 day.

  • Throughput: Up to 10MB per second.

About the Apex Job Logs

The Managed Package sends data through a Scheduled Apex Job that runs only when Salesforce has resources free, so it won't slow your org. "Abort" entries for Ambition's job in your Apex Job logs are expected and don't mean anything is wrong.

Note:

  • Salesforce sometimes abandons a scheduled job, and Ambition will start a new one. Older Ambition jobs with no next run date can be safely deleted.
