billkat SF to MySQL, API/connection?
Hello,
Is it possible to develop screens in Salesforce which view remotely-hosted data? (in a MySQL db in this instance)
We do not want to run export/imports to replicate data. We want something more akin to an API which allows a real-time view on our remote data.
I can find a fair bit of info on connecting in to Salesforce, but little on doing the reverse. Could be that I'm missing some crucial terms to search with, this is a new area to me.
Any pointers / hints would be much appreciated,
Thanks and Regards,
Bill
Hi Bill,
"callouts" is probably what you're looking for. You can either make plain HTTP requests or import a WSDL and make web service calls, to any external server. (using Apex)
