# Next steps

Once you’ve installed Connector on Jira, switch to Salesforce and [Install the Salesforce Package](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/470754565). Installing the Salesforce Package allows the Connector on your Jira instance to interface with Salesforce properly.

If you have already installed the Salesforce Package, proceed to [Set up a connection to Salesforce](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/470754669).
