When I generate my WSDL for the partner or enterprise API, I get an incomplete output that does not allow me to build the quick start samples etc. (e.g. there is no SforceServiceLocator etc.).

 

What am I doing wrong?

For my integration project, I want to be "notified" whenever a new record (i.e. account, contact, lead etc.) is inserted into the SF database of my organization.

 

I understand that it's possible to create individual after-insert triggers for each "object class" (e.g. account), but this approach would not support extensions (e.g. if someone introduces a new object class, e.g. "Vendor").

 

Therefore, I'm looking for the possibility to create a "general" top-level after-insert trigger that is invoked whenever any kind of new record is inserted.

 

Is this supported by the SF API?

I'm all new to the Salesforce platform, so please excuse me not having a good understanding of it yet.

I want to know how authentication is supposed to work.

Let's assume that I want to integrate my external workflow software with Salesforce.

User X is a Salesforce user interacting with company A hosting my workflow software.

At some point, my workflow software has to reach out to Salesforce and update a Salesforce object (e.g. a contact) owned by User X.

Of course, my workflow software does not have/store any login credentials of User X.

How would my workflow software authenticate in Salesforce in order to update the status of a Salesforce object owned by User X?

Does User X need to do anything to expose her objects to my workflow software so it is able to make changes?

Again, I'm not impersonating User X but I rather simply want to make status updates to her objects. So which credentials do I provide in order to gain access to her objects?

For my integration project, I want to be "notified" whenever a new record (i.e. account, contact, lead etc.) is inserted into the SF database of my organization.

 

I understand that it's possible to create individual after-insert triggers for each "object class" (e.g. account), but this approach would not support extensions (e.g. if someone introduces a new object class, e.g. "Vendor").

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to expose a Apex class method as a webservice that can be called without providing a session id. In other words can I call my webservice fromt he outside world without having the web service client 'log in to the salesforce system'.

Thanks,
