# ECA Transition Required (2026.05.13)

{% hint style="danger" %}
**\[Important] Notice for users on older versions**

Due to a Salesforce policy change, **Connected Apps are being replaced by External Client Apps (ECA)**. If you are using a SmallBuilder product below the minimum versions listed below, metadata-related features in the builder — such as **creating tabs/buttons or adding buttons to page layouts** — may not work as expected.

For uninterrupted use, please **upgrade each product to at least the minimum version** using the links below, and then configure the External Client App (ECA) settings.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.smallbuilder.com/important-notice/eca-transition.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
