Salesforce OAuth Connection Error: Approve Uninstalled Connected Apps

If you're seeing an OAuth error when trying to connect Salesforce to Mixmax, don’t worry — this guide will help you fix it quickly.

Updated this week

Salesforce Integration is available on all Mixmax plans except the Free plan. Please check our pricing page for more information.

Why this happens

Salesforce recently introduced a new permission called “Approve Uninstalled Connected Apps.”

If your Salesforce org doesn’t have the Mixmax Connected App installed — or your profile doesn’t include this permission — Salesforce will block the connection between Mixmax and Salesforce.


How to fix it

You can resolve this issue in one of two ways, depending on your Salesforce setup.


Option 1: Have your Salesforce Admin install the Mixmax app

If Mixmax isn’t already installed in your Salesforce org:

  1. Ask your Salesforce Admin to follow the steps in our guide: Enable Salesforce to use the Mixmax app

  2. After installation, confirm that the Mixmax app appears under Setup → Connected Apps OAuth Usage.

  3. Retry connecting Mixmax — it should now work!


Option 2: Ask your Admin to grant you the missing permission

If Mixmax is already installed but you’re still seeing the error:

  1. Ask your Salesforce Admin to open your Profile or Permission Set in Salesforce.

  2. Under System Permissions, enable Approve Uninstalled Connected Apps.

  3. Retry connecting Mixmax — the connection should now succeed.
