What is Salesforce?
Direct Answer: Salesforce bot operated by Salesforce for advertising purposes with CRM and marketing capabilities.
The Salesforce bot, operated by Salesforce, is used for advertising and has capabilities related to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and marketing. It is identified by the user-agent 'SFDC-Callout/49.0'. The bot does not follow robots.txt instructions from the database.
User-Agent Identification
The following user-agent strings identify Salesforce in your live traffic data:
SFDC-Callout/49.0
robots.txt Rules for Salesforce
Respects robots.txt: No
This bot does not commit to following robots.txt
Salesforce does not officially follow robots.txt directives. The only reliable way to control access is through server-side blocking (IP filtering, user-agent rules in your web server config) combined with log monitoring to verify effectiveness.

Why track Salesforce traffic?
Verify ad system crawling behavior. Salesforce evaluates your pages for ad targeting, quality scoring, and policy compliance.
Optimize ad delivery. If Salesforce can't properly access certain pages, ad targeting and revenue may be impacted. Log monitoring confirms accessibility.
Log Verification
To verify Salesforce traffic in your live traffic data:
- Search access logs for the user-agent strings listed above
- Check if the IP addresses match documented ranges (if provided by Salseforce)
- Verify the crawl pattern matches documented behavior
- Use reverse DNS lookup for additional verification if available
Note: Observed behavior in production environments may differ from official documentation. Live traffic monitoring provides the only reliable verification of actual bot behavior.
