 # MAGIC ## Set up Salesforce CDP Connection
 # MAGIC
-# MAGIC The first step towards data ingestion journey involves establishing a connection to the Salesforce Customer Data Platform (CDP). This connection is the bridge that allows us to access the product interest data stored within Salesforce Data Cloud. To achieve this, we leverage the `SalesforceCDPConnection` class, provided by the [Salesforce CDP Connection Python Library](https://github.com/forcedotcom/salesforce-cdp-connector). Below, we detail the process of initializing this connection, ensuring a secure and efficient link to your Salesforce data.
