    I saw that you published an article about CI for salesforce and I think this plugin is something that you will like.
    Enforce is a gradle and jenkins plugin that helps on Salesforce continuous integration process, maybe you could be interest to try it.

  10. Hello
    ,

    I need to know my this requirement ,Please see my requirement and
    suggest me. Please provide me step for this requirement

    Overview
    of requirements:

    1. Bidirectional(Rest API) integration between
    Salesforce and Woocommerce.

    2. When an order is placed in WooCommerce, it
    creates a few things in Salesforce

    a. It looks to see if the customer
    exists (query against person accounts) based on a customer ID. If the customer
    does not exist, it creates a person account.

    b. It creates an Order
    record (see below) that includes all details from the order that took
    place

    c. It creates order line items, each with a look up relationship to
    a product that exists in the Salesforce database

    3. If a customer calls
    in to make changes, they need to be able to push these changes back into
    Woocommerce from Salesforce. This would include changes to basic contact
    details, or changes to membership status (in the membership and renewals section
    on the account)

    4. There are a number of different classes that already
    exist that will need to be deactivated as well, which were providing integration
    functionality previously

    Please
    provide me guide or step for this.

    Thanks
    & Regards

  14. Hi Jitendra,

    I continuously follow your posts. And I think you are the only person who can help me to take me out from this problem. I have one requirement where I have one custom field on opportunity having lookup relationship to account is present (this relationship is different from standard field), now for this custom relationship I want to display my contacts in OpportunityContactRole (OCR) too along with the contacts which are tagged to the standard lookup to account. Can I do it using Process Builder with the help of Flows ? If yes, can you please help me how I need to tag the contactID of OCR object to the contact id of the custom lookup relationship. Thanks.

    Reply

    1. As per my knowledge, OCR is not top level object. So you cannot add any field. You may need to take help of custom object (Junction object). There are lots of ways to do this. Even in process builder, you can auto create this custom object record and show as related list.

  39. I have created one managed Salesforce package “ANU Ads Audience Connector” (http://audcs.com) which can connect Salesforce leads/contacts to advertising networks like Google Ads, Facebook Ads and also China’s biggest advertising network Tencent Advertising and OceanEngine Advertising. It is very similar to Salesforce Marketing Cloud – Advertising Studio, but my package does not require marketing cloud and can integrate with China’s advertising networks.
    May I invite you to review my package and write one blog article to introduce the features? Looking forward to hear back from you, Thanks!
