What does Atlan crawl from Salesforce?

Atlan only performs GET requests on these five endpoints:

  2. Query
  3. Reports
  4. Dashboards
  5. Folders

Each endpoint will be set in its own OAuth client session. For every API request, it will hit the Salesforce login endpoint, which means there will be at least five (same as the number of endpoints above) login entries in your Salesforce account's login history within the duration of the scheduled workflow run.
