Using the Salesforce service

Overview

Salesforce is a very popular CRM software. It is commercialized as Saas (Software as a Service), which means that the application and the data are hosted on server farms by Salesforce.

However, specific requirements are often created by this type of software. The development of additional modules is a big benefit when using and customizing this type of software.

The WLanguage Salesforce functions allow your applications to natively interface with Salesforce.

Warning: Before using a feature linked to the Salesforce services, we strongly recommend that you check the license for using this service. Some restrictions may apply. The content of the licenses may change over time.

PC SOFT is in no case responsible for the way the native access functions are used. Make sure that you comply with the license of the service provider.

New in version 20

How to proceed?

Connecting to Salesforce

To be able to use a Salesforce function of WLanguage, you must connect to the Salesforce platform. This connection is established via SFConnect (<sfConnection variable>.Connect in prefixed syntax) and an sfConnection variable.

Using the Salesforce features

The WLanguage Salesforce functions are used to:

read, modify and add records in the files of Salesforce databases. These files can be preset files or custom files.
merge records.
convert "Lead" into account, contact or opportunity.
request the execution of a specific process. You can submit records to the approval process or perform an approval action.

See list of Salesforce functions for more details.
