Astran S6 seamlessly integrates with various standard and custom objects within the Salesforce CRM, such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Health Cloud, Financial Cloud, and Manufacturing Cloud. By utilizing Astran S6, Salesforce administrators can easily identify specific fields and attachments in Salesforce that require careful management. Astran's plug-in takes on the responsibility of removing sensitive information and securely storing non-sensitive data in Salesforce, while confidential data is stored in Astran. The plug-in also performs data reconciliation between both sources (Salesforce and Astran), ensuring that only legitimate users have access to the appropriate information. This transparent process guarantees that no confidential data is transmitted through Salesforce servers and leverages all the benefits provided by Astran (as described in the documentation available at docs.astran.io).
