Why did my Salesforce integrations stop syncing when the 30-day refresh token policy kicked in?
Salesforce is enforcing a 30-day idle limit on OAuth refresh tokens, and orgs that got it early saw five or more connected apps silently stop syncing while login history and the status page showed everything fine.
Who has it: Salesforce admins, RevOps and integration owners running sync apps such as HubSpot, Outlook and billing tools against Salesforce.

“So many connected apps are broken, but there are no errors anywhere in Salesforce.”

An integration auth monitor for Salesforce: inventory every connected app and integration user, track token last use against the idle limit, run a synthetic sync check per app, and send reconnect steps before anyone notices missing data.
Tools that solve this
4 named so far, and where each one stops.
- Salesforce Connected Apps OAuth Usage page
Lists apps and token use, but gives no warning before a token goes idle or a sync breaks.
- Salesforce Trust status site
Reports platform incidents, not failures in one org's integrations.
- Elements.cloud
Org metadata analysis and documentation, not live monitoring of integration auth health.
- Workato and MuleSoft monitoring
Alert on failures inside their own flows, not on every third-party connected app.
How you might build it
- 01Salesforce OAuth and Connected App APIs
- 02Event Monitoring logs
- 03Synthetic sync checks
- 04Slack and email alerting
- 05Reconnect runbooks
