Integration with Salesforce using Mule ESB


Overview

- MuleSoft provides the most widely used integration platform to connect any application, data service or API, across the cloud and on-premise continuum.

- The Salesforce connector establishes connection to Salesforce system using SOAP web service (provided by Salesforce). Almost every operation that can be done via the Salesforce's API can be done thru this connector. This connector will also work if your Salesforce objects are customized with additional fields or even you are working with custom objects. The connector supports the option to configure Salesforce connection details, connection pooling and max limit of active connections.

Reconnection Strategies : Reconnection Strategies specify how a connector behaves when its connection fails. You can control how Mule attempts to reconnect by specifying a number of criteria
