We have a manufacturer who has built an external configurator. I have found the following documentation on this subject:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.cpq_dev_plugins.meta/cpq_dev_plugins/cpq_external_config.htm

This documentation seems very limited. There is no mention of what is sent in the JSON string to the extneral configuration tool and the format it needs to be returned in. How do you utilise that JSON string that is returned to make appropriate product option selections, etc.

Does anyone have any more information or some examples?

I am fairly new to development on Salesforce (currently some clases and triggers) I have also put together a quote calculator plugin successfully and have some development background in other languages just to make clear my experience level. 

Thanks in advance. 

Hi 

I am very new to APEX development however I have been exploring using the CPQ APIs as documented here:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.cpq_dev_api.meta/cpq_dev_api/cpq_api_get_started.htm

I have had some great success in leveraging these to add products to an existing quote. What I would like to do now is add a group to the quote and then use the group key when adding the products so the products are in turn added to this new group. I have searched the salesforce forums, looked for knowledge articles and explored google and can't find even the first clue as regards to how to do this. I have not found any way to even see what gloval methods I can access in the QuoteAPI to even do a bit of trial and error myself.

Does anyone have any input that can help put me in the right direction?

Thanks

Tim
