API-Only

Ambition offers an API-Only route that does not require installation of our Salesforce Managed Package, but rather allows a user without Salesforce System Administrator permissions to authorize the Salesforce Polling API.

Using the API-Only method allows for Salesforce data from Reports to be used in Ambition.
