have spent upward of $2.5 billion snatching up social media

tools to add to their enterprise suites.

Salesforce Connect API

• Use Rest based Connect API for interaction with Force.com

• Each Resource in Force.com REST API is a named URI –

accessible using HEAD, GET, POST, PATCH or DELETE.

• Examples:

• Get user feed, followers, following etc.

• Perform a query or search

• Update or delete records

https://na1.salesforce.com/services/data/v25.0/sobjects/

Example of using Chatter REST API

The following code snippet uses the 'me' keyword to retrieve the

current users news feed:

NSString *res_url = [NSString

stringWithFormat:@"%@/services/data/v22.0/chatter/feeds/new

s/me/feed-items", [auth.parameters

objectForKey:@"instance_url"]];

Using iOS v5 and v6 SDKUsing iOS v5 and v6 SDK

Integrating with Social MediaIntegrating with Social Media

iOS v5 Social Media Support

• Starting with iOS v5 Apple provided Twitter Framework built in

the SDK

• TWTweetComposeViewController inherits from UIViewController

and provides a very simple mechanism to tweet

iOS v5 – Sending Tweet – UI Integration

Check for service availability canSendTweet

Create a view controller

Supply a completion handler

Present modally

iOS v5 – Using TWTweetComposeViewController

- (void)tweetThis:(id)sender{ - self.tweetController = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];

- [self.tweetController setInitialText:@"Tweeting Tweeting!"];

- [self.tweetController setTitle:@"Tweet Please"];

- [self.tweetController setCompletionHandler:^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result) {

- NSString *output;

- switch (result) {

- case TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:

- output = @"Tweet Cancelled";

- break;

- case TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultDone:

- output = @"Tweet Done";

- break;

- default:

break;

- }

- // Dismiss the tweet compose view controller

- [self.navController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; }];

- [self.navController presentModalViewController:self.tweetController animated:YES]; }
