Most Common Approaches for MuleSoft Salesforce Integration

 We all know that Salesforce alone is quite powerful. But when integrated with any other platform, its power as well as the other’s increase multiple folds. Whether it is about integrating Salesforce with ERP or with an e-commerce application, that power simply increases. The same is in the case of the MuleSoft Salesforce integration. 


If you are familiar with the MuleSoft Anypoint Studio and Salesforce Connector, you are somewhat aware of this integration. But when we talk about how the MuleSoft developer works on this integration, we get many ways.


Common Approaches of Conducting MuleSoft Salesforce Integration

Conducting MuleSoft Salesforce integration is easier for certified experts but there are multiple approaches that they might follow to get that integration done. Any experienced MuleSoft developer will be aware of the different approaches to integrate MuleSoft with Salesforce. Some of these approaches are mentioned below.

1. Basic Salesforce Query


Many developers use Salesforce Object basic query or SOQL query to conduct integration between MuleSoft and Salesforce. It is one of the easiest ways to connect Salesforce with MuleSoft or even with any other external application. 

Once the developer has made sure that Salesforce authentication is configured, he would place a Salesforce Connection into the flow with SOQL query. This query needs to return Salesforce objects. 


2.Near Real- Time Notification Triggers


Using the near real-time notification triggers is the new way to connect MuleSoft with Salesforce. These are built into the Salesforce Connector. These can simplify checking the trigger without the need for custom coding as it can be done through push notification. The new trigger include-
  • On New Object- It is triggered when any new record is formed

  • On Deleted Object- It returns any record or data that is moved to recycle bin

  • On Modified Object- It returns any updated record


3. Bulk Salesforce Query

This type of approach for integration helps when there is a large number of records. Bulk or Batch Salesforce Query is a common way followed by developers when you need to insert data in any external database. 

Even the method needs more code than the basic SOQL method, it is still much preferred when a large amount of data has to be handled when integrating both platforms.


4. Plateform Events

This type of integration is used when you need to kick off a MuleSoft flow based on any Salesforce event. This approach is the closest to real-time updates in comparison to all the integration approaches mentioned. It doesn’t simply notify about triggers but also kicks off a MuleSoft flow for database, near real-time, file shares, and messaging.

Conduct MuleSoft Salesforce Integration with Experts

Connecting Salesforce with MuleSoft reduces the complexity of handling information and saves time for users. But to make sure the integration is done in the right way, you need an expert team to handle it all. Reach out to the certified developers at 360 Degree Cloud to smoothly achieve this integration.
