    A named credential specifies the URL of a callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters in one definition. To simplify the setup of authenticated callouts, specify a named credential as the callout endpoint.

    A named credential is a configuration feature that takes the burden out of most authentication processes. They’re used to let Salesforce handle some or most authentications within the org or with other Salesforce org. It is used to store various callout configurations, including the following:

    • Callout certificates
    • Settings for authentication
    • Authentication protocol, if it’s required or needed
    • HTTP endpoints
