splitbrain Creating new Records?
I'm fairly new to Chatter and Salesforce so I'm struggling a bit with the correct terms. Anyway, here's what I want to do:
My task is to integrate chatter with a different web application. The idea is to have a way to attach a chatter discussion to any entity in that application and have a way to have chatter users to follow the entity. Similar to what you can do for a SalesForce account object for example.
From what I understand from the API documentation, I would need to register a new record for each entity in my application. Then chatter users can follow that record or add comments to it. But I can't figure out how to create such a record. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Create a CustomObject with the attributes you need to describe the entity in your apps ... may you need more than one custom object!
Than you have to create records for those entities of the coressponding custom objects .... than snd updates in chatter to the records (you can also use external id's in the custom object definition & records > this is the id of the record in the your app) ... the chatter users can than follow those objects and will see the updates!
You have to make sure that the salesforce user have acces to those records!
I hope this helps ;-)!
