Connecting a Sandbox & Pulling Changes

Connect a Salesforce sandbox to Serpent and pull its metadata changes into your project.

Sandboxes are full copies of a Salesforce org used for development and testing. Connecting a sandbox to Serpent lets you pull the changes made there into a project so they can move through review and release.

Connect a sandbox

Authorize the sandbox so Serpent can access it, then associate it with the project that works against it. Once connected, the sandbox is available as a source you can retrieve from.

Add Org dialog with alias field and org type dropdown

Pull changes in

  • Retrieve the metadata that changed in the sandbox into a Work Item.
  • Review the pulled changes before they progress.
  • Let Serpent capture them on the Work Item's branch for you.
