IT Review

IT REVIEW
OVERVIEW.

KeelCadence is designed for low-friction Salesforce diagnostics. The tools run read-only metadata and aggregate configuration checks, then generate on-screen findings and optional downloadable reports. KeelCadence does not require package installation, Connected App setup, or persistent Salesforce access.

Why a bookmarklet instead of OAuth?

KeelCadence uses a browser-session-based connection so admins can run a diagnostic without installing a package, creating a Connected App, granting a long-lived OAuth refresh token, or giving KeelCadence persistent Salesforce access. The session is used only to read the metadata and aggregate signals needed for the diagnostic workbook. It does not create, update, or delete Salesforce records.

KeelCadence is not a Salesforce data export tool.

KeelCadence is designed for metadata-based Salesforce diagnostics. The tools review configuration, metadata, permission structures, automation metadata, and aggregate counts where needed for diagnostic scoring.

KeelCadence does not export customer records, files, attachments, emails, Chatter content, or transactional data. Reports are built to show diagnostic evidence, review candidates, scoring, recommendations, and remediation tracking without exposing individual Salesforce record values.

What the workbook contains

KeelCadence workbooks contain diagnostic findings, supporting metadata evidence, review priority, confidence labels where applicable, recommendations, and remediation tracking fields. They are designed to help teams review Salesforce configuration without exposing individual customer record values.

KeelCadence does not make cleanup decisions for you, delete fields, rewrite automation, or modify Salesforce configuration. It provides structured diagnostic evidence for admin, IT, and consultant review, and does not replace architectural judgment or IT assessment.

Shared responsibility

KeelCadence reduces exposure by focusing on metadata and aggregate diagnostic signals, but customers remain responsible for who runs diagnostics, who receives downloaded reports, how reports are stored, and how findings are reviewed before changes are made in Salesforce.

What KeelCadence Does

KeelCadence provides self-serve Salesforce org health reports for Salesforce admins and IT teams. Audits are read-only and diagnostic-only.

  • Runs read-only metadata and aggregate configuration checks.
  • Generates on-screen findings and optional downloadable full reports.
  • Reports cover permissions, field-level security, object structure, and field cleanup opportunities.

What the Tool Accesses

  • Salesforce metadata: object definitions, field definitions, field-level security, page layouts, permission sets, profiles, permission set assignments.
  • Aggregate configuration data: field fill rates, object usage counts, permission stacking patterns.
  • Session-based access tied to your active Salesforce session.

What the Tool Does Not Access

  • No customer records, files, attachments, emails, Chatter content, or transactional data. KeelCadence reviews metadata and aggregate configuration signals only.
  • No account credentials or passwords.
  • No payment or financial data from Salesforce.
  • No write access to Salesforce objects or records.

Technical Details

Authentication / Session Model
Session-based access tied to your active Salesforce browser session. KeelCadence may temporarily hold a Salesforce Session ID while an audit is running to complete read-only diagnostic requests. Session IDs are not stored in the application database, logs, reports, or XLSX files, and are discarded after the audit completes or fails. No OAuth refresh tokens are stored. No long-lived Salesforce access.
Package Installation
No managed package install required. No Connected App setup required.
Data Retention
Audit reports and related metadata are retained for up to 90 days, then deleted by automated purge jobs. Deletion removes report files and related database records. Reports are deletable on request before the purge window.
Report Deletion Request
Email support@keelcadence.com with your Report ID to request report deletion.
Payment Handling
Payments are processed through Stripe. KeelCadence does not store card numbers, CVV codes, or full payment card details. KeelCadence stores limited payment status information, such as Stripe Checkout session ID and paid/unpaid status, to confirm report access.
Supported Salesforce Editions
Works with Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions. System Administrator profile recommended for full results.
