I work as a Solution Architect at Codleo Consulting, where I have spent five years in the Salesforce ecosystem. I hold certifications as both an Application and System Architect. I had the opportunity to attend the System Architect Bootcamp at Dreamforce, which significantly expanded my knowledge of integrations —a topic I was previously unfamiliar with.

In this overview, I aim to help Salesforce professionals who are new to integration. My goal is not to give you a step-by-step guide on how to implement an integration. Instead, I want to introduce key integration concepts to prepare you for more complex topics later. We will cover three main areas: integration types, capabilities, and patterns. First, let’s explore the basics.

What is Salesforce Integration?

Salesforce Integration connects different systems to help you simplify processes. 

Consider your technology setup where one system has information that another system needs. By integrating these systems, you can easily manage information across various business processes.

Why is integration important?

We live in a digital world, and we need to improve our efficiency and our customer’s experience to stay competitive. Today, systems rarely work alone. We must strengthen our ability to connect our systems, enabling us to do so faster and in a scalable manner.

Benefits of Integrating Third-Party Apps with Salesforce

Companies that utilize Salesforce can enhance their chances of success by integrating solutions, tools, or applications tailored to their industry-specific needs.

Here are some common benefits of Salesforce integration that can give businesses an edge. Let’s take a look:

1. Improved Functionality:

Using third-party apps can enhance the capabilities of Salesforce. These apps add features and customization options that aren’t available in Salesforce, allowing you to tailor the platform to fit your business needs. For example, integrating Salesforce with RingCentral enables a seamless connection between the two apps, facilitating easier interaction with colleagues and customers. You can view customer contacts and their interaction history, as well as make calls, schedule meetings, and log interactions all in one place without having to switch between different systems.

2. Accuracy and Consistency in Data:

When you use Salesforce, you can access data from essential sources like HR, sales, accounting, and other systems. It helps your teams see real-time data and reduces the need for manual data entry. By connecting third-party apps to Salesforce, you ensure consistent data across systems, which increases accuracy and reduces errors.

3. Optimized and Automated Processes:

Salesforce integration allows different applications to share data easily. It automates the syncing of information across various departments, which helps improve business processes and boosts productivity.

4. Scalability and Flexibility

As your business grows, your needs change. You can easily adopt new solutions or switch to one that offers more flexibility without causing significant disruptions. This flexibility allows you to adjust your Salesforce to meet changing business requirements, ensuring you have the right tools and services.

5. 360-Degree Customers View

Connecting systems with Salesforce consolidates customer information from various sources into a single, central location. This single view enables businesses to interact with customers in a personalized manner, run targeted marketing campaigns, and enhance customer service. As a result, companies gain a deeper understanding of their customers and can deliver exceptional experiences.

6. Cost Savings

Using third-party apps can save you money compared to creating custom solutions from scratch. These apps are usually easy to install and use, which shortens the time and cost of development. Instead of spending resources on building and maintaining complex features, you can use existing solutions that have already been tested and optimized.

What is an API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. It lets two applications communicate with each other.

For example, when you use an app on your phone, the app connects to the internet, retrieves data from a server, and shows it to you in a way that makes sense. With the right API, this process runs smoothly.

There are different types of APIs, which I will explain later in the ‘Salesforce Integration Capabilities’ section.

Types of Salesforce Integration Architectures

There are three main types of integration architectures, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a quick overview of them:

• Point-to-point integration

• Hub-and-spoke integration

• Enterprise Service Bus integration (ESB)

Point-to-Point Integration

Point-to-point integration, also known as one-to-one integration, directly connects two systems. For example, a sales application might send new order information separately to a billing system, a shipping application, and a tracking system. If you want the tracking and shipping systems to communicate with each other, you need to create a new integration to facilitate this.

This type of integration has several downsides. It can be costly to build and maintain. If you decide to replace one of the systems, you will need to create multiple new integrations to reconnect it to the other systems.

Hub-and-Spoke Integration

With hub-and-spoke integration, you create a central hub that helps different systems communicate with each other. The hub routes all the traffic, so you only need to build one connection for each new system. It is a significant improvement over connecting each system directly to every other one.

Enterprise Service Bus Integration (ESB)

An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) improves the traditional hub-and-spoke model used for integrating software applications. It uses an integration engine to connect different systems more efficiently.

You should use an ESB when you need to manage your ‘messages’ in the following ways:

1. Routing: If you need a ‘message’ to move from one system (A) to another system (B) or multiple systems.

2. Orchestration: To control the order of transactions. For example, one system may need to complete an update and provide a response before another system uses that response.

3. Transformation: If a ‘message’ must change its format to go from System A to System B, the ESB can transform it into the correct format for System B.

4. Security: It can handle authentication and authorization to ensure security needs are met.

With an ESB, each system gets an adapter you can easily connect or disconnect from your ‘bus.’ It makes it easier to adjust your integration as your needs change over time.

Salesforce Integration Capabilities

As I write, I'm thinking: “How can I talk about APIs interestingly?” I’ll keep this section brief, but I hope it piques your interest and encourages you to learn more about APIs.

You need a robust API that enables any two applications to communicate. When discussing integrations, it’s crucial to understand their timing and direction. Timing has two categories:

1. Synchronous: You make a call to another system and wait for a response. The process will not continue until you receive the response.

2. Asynchronous: You can call another system without waiting for a response, so you can keep working. For example, if you have a background job that takes a long time to finish, it’s better not to wait for it to complete, as you might face a timeout.

When integrating systems, it’s essential to understand the direction of the integration: it can be either outbound or inbound. To determine this, ask which system starts the process. If Salesforce initiates it, it’s an outbound call. If another system starts it, it’s an inbound call.

Salesforce provides us with integration capabilities to create these connections. Here are eight key capabilities you should know about:

1. REST API

This focuses on data-based operations:

• GET to query a database

• POST to create a record

• PUT to update

• PATCH

• DELETE

REST API is ideal for web and mobile applications. It uses XML or JSON for data formats, with JSON being the better choice for efficiency. It means REST saves bandwidth and works well with web browsers.

REST operates synchronously. For instance, when you send a POST request to create a record in Salesforce, you get a response confirming if it was successful.

Salesforce Workbench is a set of tools that helps you use APIs to interact with Salesforce. I suggest exploring Workbench to become familiar with the REST API.

2. SOAP API

The SOAP API is commonly used in older systems, but it remains in use today. It connects different systems and helps them communicate in the background. It is helpful for applications that need clear agreements, thanks to WSDL.

While SOAP is reliable and well-established, it tends to be slower and uses more bandwidth than REST. It works with XML for structured data and allows for asynchronous processing. It means it can keep working without waiting for a response.

3. Bulk API

The Bulk API in Salesforce can handle a large volume of data—up to 100 million records in 24 hours. This API makes it more stable, helps you track jobs, and manages message loads.

It is great for quickly moving significant amounts of data into Salesforce. You can run jobs one after another (serial mode) or all at once (parallel mode). The API also automatically organizes files into batches.

Please note that this process runs in the background. You upload your data and check the results later.

4. Streaming API

There are two types of communication models: ‘Request and Response’ and ‘Event Driven’. The Streaming API utilizes the publish/subscribe model, a highly effective method for sending notifications. This model serves as the foundation of Event-Driven Architecture.

There are four Streaming APIs:

• Generic

• PushTopic

• Platform Events

• Change Data Capture

All systems use CometD technology. It creates an Enterprise Messaging Bus. It allows an Event Producer to send a Message to a channel. Any Event Consumer subscribed to that channel can then receive the broadcast. Platform Events make it easier to share data changes and enable near real-time integration between Salesforce and other systems.

Event-driven architecture is getting much attention, and for good reason. I recommend reading more about it here.

5. Outbound Message

When you create a Salesforce workflow rule or approval process, you can choose to add an 'outbound message' as an action. This action sends a message to another system whenever a specific event occurs. You can set this up easily without needing to code.

You can send messages to any SOAP-based server that has a custom listener service. The message will include the fields you select and is sent to your chosen endpoint URL. This integration operates asynchronously, meaning it occurs in the background. The other system will send back an acknowledgment message. If Salesforce does not receive this acknowledgment, it will continue to attempt to send the message for 24 hours. After that, it will notify the System Admins that the message was not delivered successfully.

Keep in mind that Outbound Messages are not meant for real-time integration. If you need immediate results, Salesforce suggests using the Streaming API instead.

6. Web Service Callouts

A callout happens when Salesforce connects with another system. In this case, Salesforce initiates the communication. For example, if a user updates an Account’s address, Salesforce will reach out to an address database to confirm the new address. Keep in mind that various events can trigger callouts, not just changes to fields.

Web Service Callouts are:

• You can use this for free, but you will need a developer to write the required actions.

• Use this option when your timing needs are synchronous or if you expect a quick response for asynchronous requests (note: callouts activated with an Apex trigger must be marked as asynchronous).

• This method works well if your data load is small (Request and Response < 3 MB).

7. Salesforce Connect

With Salesforce Connect, you can view and edit data from an external system directly in Salesforce. This process is called "data virtualization." It means that the data appears in Salesforce when you need it but is not stored in Salesforce. This feature incurs a fee, but it helps you save on data storage by providing real-time access to the data without requiring you to copy it into Salesforce.

How Salesforce Connect works:

• You create a new External Object (ending in __x) to show external data.

• This object can be linked to other objects, such as an Opportunity in Salesforce, which displays Invoice and Invoice Line Items from an external billing system.

• You can view the data when needed, run reports, create related lists, or use SOQL and SOSL to search for information.

• It can also connect different Salesforce organizations.

8. Heroku Connect

Heroku is a cloud platform that provides a service called platform-as-a-service (PaaS). It helps your business develop, deliver, monitor, and scale apps without dealing with infrastructure issues. Heroku Connect is different from Heroku itself (which uses Heroku Postgres). Instead, it connects Salesforce with Postgres databases and allows for data synchronization.

When to use Heroku Connect:

Here’s when you might need to use Heroku. A business wants to launch a special app during holiday promotions. They expect the app to receive millions of downloads but want to keep only essential data in their Salesforce org. Heroku Connect can help with this. It enables you to collect the necessary data and send updates from Salesforce. This service can handle high volumes of data quickly and efficiently.

There are additional features for the UI layer, like mashups and Canvas, but I’ll stop here for now.

Step-by-Step Guide to Salesforce Integration

Integration is essential, so we need the right expertise. We have created a roadmap that outlines the key steps and phases involved in the process. It will help us take action and keep everyone informed throughout the process.

Step 1: Start with the CRM Data Model

Start by creating a clear data model that explains how information will move through your Salesforce system. Identify the key elements, such as accounts, contacts, products, and cases, and understand how they relate to one another. Make sure this aligns with your business operations.

Step 2: Build A CRM Prototype

Create a simple prototype of your CRM solution to help visualize and explain the proposed system to decision-makers. This prototype outlines the steps of your business operations and demonstrates how Salesforce will support and enhance those processes. 

Examine how the prototype works and identify any issues that may slow down progress. It will allow for feedback and improvements before finalizing the integration process.

Step 3: Import Your Data

Clean up your current data to match the Salesforce design. Create a clear plan for transferring your data. Accurately map your objects, fields, and records between the different applications so they align with Salesforce's structure. It will guide you in integrating them effectively.

Once you are ready, import the data into Salesforce. You may need to create a custom field for any data that Salesforce cannot retrieve. Remember to back up your data beforehand. It will help prevent data loss or corruption if the transfer doesn’t go as planned.

Step 4: Time to Integrate

Now is the time to connect your CRM with other cloud platforms, ERP systems, SaaS applications, or your local systems. Set up robust API connections, ensure seamless cross-platform login, and enable easy access to legacy systems.

Step 5: Customize the CRM Solution

You can customize Salesforce to fit your business needs. Begin by adding custom fields, defining layouts, and adjusting settings to align with your workflows. It makes Salesforce a tool that supports your specific processes.

Step 6: Test & Launch

After setting up your Salesforce CRM, thoroughly test it to ensure it functions as needed. Use a quality assurance team to check the integrations, features, and user experience. Once you’ve confirmed everything is in order, launch the platform and make any necessary adjustments. Also, raise awareness about the new system by providing explicit support materials and information to help users during the transition.

Step 7: Post-launch Support

After launching, focus on encouraging users to adopt the product and solving any new issues that arise. You can work with your Salesforce partner, designate an account manager for ongoing support, and attend meetups, conferences, and events to gain valuable information and networking opportunities.

Salesforce Integration Patterns

Patterns are ideas that help us understand concepts. Depending on what you need to integrate, you can select a pattern that suits your needs. Each pattern comes with best practices to help you decide the best option.

When making your choice, consider three key factors: the timing (whether you require synchronous or asynchronous communication), the direction (whether it’s inbound or outbound), and the type of integration required. There are three approaches to consider.

1. Data integration: You’re integrating the information used by the systems, such as inserting data and updating data.

2. Process integration: You can integrate process functionality across multiple systems. For example, suppose you want to automate billing from an external system when an Opportunity is won in Salesforce. How do you send the necessary information about what should be billed and when?

3. Virtual integration: Salesforce can access data from other systems without needing to copy it into Salesforce. This access occurs when an event happens in Salesforce, such as a user searching for information or running a report.

Now that we have covered that, here are the most common integration patterns that could meet your requirements.

Learn more: Salesforce’s Pattern Selection Matrix is a great resource.

Remote Call-In

Salesforce stores data that a remote system can create, retrieve, update, or delete. For example, if a business uses an order system, it may need to update Salesforce with the order status.

Request and Reply

Salesforce initiates a process on a remote system and waits for it to complete before receiving a response. This is called a synchronous callout.

Fire and Forget

Salesforce sends a request to a remote system and doesn’t wait for it to finish. Instead, the remote system confirms it received the request and then returns control to Salesforce. This process enables Salesforce to continue working without interruption, allowing it to wait, fire, forget, and resume activities as needed.

Examples of Fire and Forget integrations:

• Outbound messages

• Platform events

Batch Data Synchronization

Salesforce stores data that gets updated from an external system. Changes from Salesforce are also sent to an external system on a set schedule. Updates happen in batches. For example, you can take customer activity information from Salesforce and import it into an on-premise data warehouse every week.

UI Update Based on Data Changes

The Salesforce user interface (UI) requires an update due to changes in Salesforce data. For example, the Case Manager needs to see the Case Update Status. You should create a custom user interface and use the Streaming API with a PushTopic. It allows you to subscribe and receive alerts.

Data Virtualization

Data virtualization displays data in Salesforce only when needed, and the data does not stay in Salesforce. We previously discussed data virtualization, specifically in relation to Salesforce Connect. It can also be used for Apex SOAP or REST callouts through a Visualforce page.

Popular Application to Integrate with Salesforce

Some applications can enhance your productivity and improve efficiency within your Salesforce ecosystem, benefiting both your customers and your team. You can check out native integrations on Salesforce AppExchange or create custom integrations with your team or a Salesforce integration partner.

Best Practices for Successful Salesforce Third-Party Integration

To avoid problems and ensure smooth integration with Salesforce, follow these best practices:

A Clear Understanding of Business Strategy Along with A Roadmap

Before starting the integration process, it’s essential to clarify all aspects of the projects. Begin by defining your business goals and the outcomes you expect. Determine how the project aligns with your business needs, technology strategy, and roadmap.

This understanding will shape the project’s scope and deliverables. It’s a good idea to perform a gap analysis to compare your current business processes with the desired future state of existing systems. It helps clarify the project's priorities and requirements for integration.

Collaborate with Stakeholders, Key Decision-Makers, and Your Team to outline business scenarios. 

To ensure a successful project, it is essential to collaborate with and keep all relevant stakeholders informed. Here are some practical steps to follow:

1. Share all project information during the planning phase. Ensure stakeholders understand the project’s purpose, the primary problem being addressed, and the proposed solution.

2. Clearly illustrate the proposed solution, showing the systems involved and any necessary changes.

3. Conduct a thorough impact analysis and create a risk management plan.

4. Share your findings, get approval from stakeholders, and secure the required budget.

5. Communicate the project plan, timeline, and governance framework to maintain transparency.

6. Involve stakeholders in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and offer training to ensure smooth adoption.

7. Analyze different use case scenarios, business needs, and the impact on various departments.

You can use UML diagrams to visualize systems, their interactions, and potential risks early in the development process. Finally, build a well-balanced project team by considering the right skills, knowledge, and cultural fit. Define team roles and responsibilities using the RASCI matrix.

Determine and Proceed with the Suitable Integration Architecture and Approach

Salesforce integration projects involve three different types of architecture. It’s essential to consider your needs during the planning stage carefully. 

After reviewing your business requirements, choose the integration architecture and type that best fits your situation. 

Consider each architecture and method based on data volume, flow needs, complexity, scalability, and budget. Select the solution that effectively meets all these criteria. You can also utilize different architectures for various cases and connect multiple systems cost-effectively, ensuring seamless integration.

Integration Excellence: Uphold Data Integrity and Security

To achieve seamless integration with Salesforce, it is essential to prioritize data integrity and security. First, establish robust backup plans and error-handling processes to ensure data accuracy. Regularly review your data to ensure it remains reliable.

For data security, select third-party applications that meet high-security standards and comply with relevant data protection laws and regulations. Protecting your business information is key for successful integration. Additionally, keep an eye on your integration's performance to spot any downtime or issues, which will help improve efficiency.

Choose the Right Salesforce Integration Partner 

Choosing the right Salesforce partner is essential for the success of your integration project. A trustworthy partner provides the knowledge and experience necessary to understand Salesforce’s features fully.
