Getting the Salesforce Object ID

The Salesforce object ID is required to link a Jira issue to the object. This ID number is not shown in the normal Salesforce page view for objects and is typically used on the backend to uniquely identify all sorts of objects.

Steps

1. Go to the Salesforce object you want to link to in Salesforce.
    

2. Look at the URL in your browser. The mix of numbers and letters after your Salesforce server URL is the object's ID number.

   In the example below, the Salesforce Case with the Case Number 00001026 has an object ID of 5002v00002N4SmWAAV.
