Quickstart

To use the Salesforce connector in your Ballerina application, update the .bal file as follows:

Step 1: Import connector

Import the ballerinax/salesforce.soap module into the Ballerina project.

Copy
import ballerinax/salesforce.soap;

Step 2: Create a new connector instance

Create a soap:ConnectionConfig with the OAuth2 tokens obtained, and initialize the connector with it.

Copy
oap:ConnectionConfig config = {
   baseUrl: baseUrl,
   auth: {
       clientId: clientId,
       clientSecret: clientSecret,
       refreshToken: refreshToken,
       refreshUrl: refreshUrl
   }
;

oap:Client salesforce = check new (config);

Step 3: Invoke connector operation

  1. Now you can use the operations available within the connector. Note that they are in the form of remote operations.
    Following is an example on how to convert lead using the connector.
Copy
public function main() returns error? {
  soap:ConvertedLead response = check soapClient->convertLead({leadId = "xxx", convertedStatus: "Closed - Converted"});
}
  1. Use bal run command to compile and run the Ballerina program.
