Heroku Applink Publications

Publish Heroku apps into Salesforce and Agentforce with Heroku AppLink. Use when the agent needs AppLink publication workflows, OpenAPI publication preparation, publish a Heroku app to Salesforce, review AppLink publication state, inspect shared publication endpoints or shared objects, or reason about Agentforce, Flow, Apex, Data Cloud, service mesh, and AppLink user-mode behavior.

Heroku AppLink Publications

Publish Heroku apps to Salesforce through AppLink with careful attention to publication workflows, OpenAPI, shared publication endpoints, user modes, and org targeting.

Start with publication prerequisites

Before publishing:

confirm the app already has an AppLink add-on
confirm the relevant Salesforce org is connected
review the OpenAPI spec and any metadata directory
confirm whether the target is Salesforce Flow, Apex, Data Action Targets, Agentforce, or a combination
confirm which shared publication endpoints or shared objects will be exposed

Preferred publish flow

inspect existing publications with heroku salesforce:publications -a <app>
confirm the intended connection name and client name
review the OpenAPI 3.0 spec for action shape, permissions, and Agentforce-specific behavior
publish with heroku salesforce:publish <API_SPEC_FILE_DIR> -a <app> --connection-name <connection> -c <client-name>
verify the resulting publication in Salesforce, API Catalog, and the AppLink dashboard

OpenAPI and Agentforce guidance

Use OpenAPI 3.0.
Keep permission boundaries explicit in the spec and Salesforce-side configuration.
Treat Agentforce actions as publication outputs, not as a substitute for connection setup.
Be aware that Salesforce Spring '26 changed connected-app creation behavior for heroku salesforce:publish.

Security and runtime guidance

AppLink uses a service mesh in front of the app to validate inbound requests.
Choose user modes intentionally: user, user-plus, or authorized-user.
Only connected orgs can invoke published apps.

Guardrails

Ask for confirmation before:

publishing to a production org
changing the API contract of an already-published app
enabling permissions or connected-app behavior that broadens data access
