Old Stuff

Salesforce to Salesforce

• Native, no middleware

• Synchronises data from one Org to another and back

• Data replication

• OMG they say use it for sharing data between your company and an external company - do NOT do this.

• No Charge (really? that’s if it even exists anymore - the menu is still there in Classic only setup).

• Pub/Sub model

• Communication of the sharing is via Email

• Sharing is manual or automated

  • Add the queue for the partner company

• 100 child records per parent record

• Subscriber can manually accept or auto accept

  • eg Leads via Assignment Rules

• Yeah, having never used this, and knowing that I never will, I don’t understand it.

  • And yet, I don’t see that there is any useful replacement for it. Except for https://tddprojects.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SF/pages/1310425179 which is hugely expensive.

Canvas

• A tab displayed in Salesforce that is an external web application with authentication

• A framework for making external Web Applications visible to users within Salesforce

• Used

  • On a visualforce page

  • In a quick action (why?)

  • In Console

  • In a Lightning Component

  • As a web tab

• Signed Requests

Mashups

• It’s like something back from the late 00’s when Yahoo Pipes was a thing (yes Pipes Digital is a thing, and so is Huginn)
