Salesforce Integration (MuleSoft Basics)

Module 1: Salesforce Integration Fundamentals

• Why Salesforce integration matters: connected enterprise architecture
• Salesforce integration options: native, MuleSoft, middleware, and point-to-point
• Salesforce APIs: REST API, SOAP API, Bulk API, Streaming API
• Integration patterns: request-reply, fire-and-forget, batch, and event-driven
• Salesforce Connected App setup for API access
• Authentication: OAuth 2.0 flows for Salesforce API access

Module 2: Salesforce REST & SOAP APIs

• Salesforce REST API: endpoints, resources, and HTTP methods
• CRUD operations via REST: create, read, update, delete, and upsert
• Salesforce SOAP API: WSDL and enterprise API usage
• Bulk API 2.0: high-volume data operations
• Composite API: batching multiple API calls efficiently
• API rate limits and best practices for API governance

Module 3: Salesforce Streaming & Event APIs

• PushTopic Streaming API: real-time record change notifications
• Generic Streaming API: custom event channels
• Change Data Capture (CDC): capturing Salesforce data changes
• Platform Events: publish-subscribe integration architecture
• Pub/Sub API: high-performance event streaming
• Event-driven integration patterns for real-time Salesforce sync

Module 4: Introduction to MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

• MuleSoft Anypoint Platform architecture overview
• API-led connectivity: system, process, and experience APIs
• Anypoint Studio: MuleSoft's IDE for integration development
• Mule 4 application structure: flows, connectors, and components
• MuleSoft Salesforce Connector: connecting to Salesforce from MuleSoft
• Anypoint Exchange: API catalogue and reusable assets

Module 5: Building MuleSoft-Salesforce Integrations

• MuleSoft Salesforce Connector operations: query, create, update, upsert
• DataWeave 2.0: data transformation language for MuleSoft
• Mapping Salesforce objects to external system data models
• Error handling in MuleSoft: on-error-continue and on-error-propagate
• Batch processing in MuleSoft for high-volume Salesforce sync
• Logging and monitoring MuleSoft integrations

Module 6: Common Salesforce Integration Scenarios

• Salesforce-to-ERP integration: syncing accounts, orders, and invoices
• Lead capture integration: website form to Salesforce lead
• Marketing automation sync: contact data between Salesforce and Marketo/HubSpot
• Real-time inventory availability check from Salesforce to ERP
• Single sign-on (SSO) integration with Active Directory and Okta
• Data migration integration: bulk loading historical data to Salesforce

Module 7: Salesforce Native Integration Tools

• Salesforce Connect and External Objects for real-time external data
• Outbound Messaging: SOAP notifications from Salesforce workflow
• Canvas Apps: embedding external applications in Salesforce
• Heroku Connect: bidirectional sync between Salesforce and Heroku Postgres
• MuleSoft Composer: no-code integration for business users
• Integration monitoring: Salesforce API usage tracking

Module 8: Integration Architecture & Certification Pathways

• Integration architecture principles: loose coupling and reusability
• Error handling and retry strategies for resilient integrations
• Integration testing: unit, integration, and end-to-end test approaches
• Integration security: data encryption in transit and at rest
• MuleSoft Developer I certification overview and preparation
• Salesforce Integration Architecture Designer certification pathway

MuleSoft Certified Developers & Salesforce Integration Architects Our Salesforce Integration instructors hold both MuleSoft Developer certifications and Salesforce Integration Architecture Designer credentials, having designed and built enterprise integration solutions connecting Salesforce to SAP, Oracle, Workday, and custom-built systems.

API Design & Enterprise Architecture Background Trainers bring enterprise integration architecture experience — understanding not just how to connect systems, but how to design integration architectures that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with API-led connectivity principles.

DataWeave & MuleSoft Development Expertise DataWeave is MuleSoft's powerful transformation language, and our instructors are expert practitioners who can teach learners to handle complex data transformations — from simple field mappings to sophisticated conditional logic and collection manipulation.

Real Salesforce Integration Project Experience Every scenario in this course is drawn from real integration projects: SAP-to-Salesforce order sync, real-time ERP inventory lookup, bulk data migration, and event-driven architecture using Platform Events. Learners leave with practical integration skills, not just conceptual knowledge.

Cross-Platform Technical Breadth Our instructors understand Salesforce APIs, MuleSoft, REST/SOAP protocols, and enterprise middleware concepts — providing the broad technical foundation needed to design integration solutions that work reliably in complex enterprise environments.
