Salesforce

Since Camel 2.12

Both producer and consumer are supported

This component supports producer and consumer endpoints to communicate with Salesforce using Java DTOs. There is a companion maven plugin that generates these DTOs.

Developers wishing to contribute to the component are instructed to look at the README.md file on instructions on how to get started and setup your environment for running integration tests.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get started with the Salesforce component.

  1. Create a salesforce org. If you don’t already have access to a salesforce org, you can create a free developer org.

  2. Create a Connected App. In salesforce, go to Setup > Apps > App Manager, then click on New Connected App. Make sure to check Enable OAuth Settings and include relevant OAuth Scopes, including the scope called Perform requests at any time. Click Save.

  3. Get the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. You’ll need these to configure salesforce authentication. View your new connected app, then copy the key and secret and save in a safe place.

  4. Add Maven depdendency.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-salesforce</artifactId>
</dependency>

    Spring Boot users should use the starter instead.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-salesforce-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>

  5. Generate DTOs. Optionally, generate Java DTOs to represent your salesforce objects. This step isn’t a hard requirement per se, but most use cases will benefit from the type safety and auto-completion. Use the maven plugin to generate DTOs for the salesforce objects you’ll be working with.

  6. Configure authentication. Using the OAuth key and secret you generated previously, configure salesforce authentication.

  7. Create routes. Starting creating routes that interact with salesforce!

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL, in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

Where you find yourself configuring the most is on endpoints, as endpoints often have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders, which allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse.

The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

String

refreshToken (security)

Refresh token already obtained in the refresh token OAuth flow. One needs to setup a web application and configure a callback URL to receive the refresh token, or configure using the builtin callback at https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success or https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success and then retrive the refresh_token from the URL at the end of the flow. Note that in development organizations Salesforce allows hosting the callback web application at localhost.

Table 1. Properties to set for each authentication flow
Property Where to find it on Salesforce Flow

clientId

Connected App, Consumer Key

All flows

clientSecret

Connected App, Consumer Secret

Username-Password, Refresh Token

userName

Salesforce user username

Username-Password, JWT Bearer Token

password

Salesforce user password

Username-Password

refreshToken

From OAuth flow callback

Refresh Token

keystore

Connected App, Digital Certificate

JWT Bearer Token

The component auto determines what flow you’re trying to configure. In order to be explicit, set the authenticationType property.

Using Username-Password Flow in production is not encouraged.

The certificate used in JWT Bearer Token Flow can be a self-signed certificate. The KeyStore holding the certificate and the private key must contain only single certificate-private key entry.

General Usage

URI format

When used as a consumer, receiving streaming events, the URI scheme is:

salesforce:subscribe:topic?options

When used as a producer, invoking the Salesforce REST APIs, the URI scheme is:

salesforce:operationName?options

As a general example on using the operations in this salesforce component, the following producer endpoint uses the upsertSObject API, with the sObjectIdName parameter specifying 'Name' as the external id field. The request message body should be an SObject DTO generated using the maven plugin.

...to("salesforce:upsertSObject?sObjectIdName=Name")...

Passing in Salesforce headers and fetching Salesforce response headers

There is support to pass Salesforce headers via inbound message headers, header names that start with Sforce or x-sfdc on the Camel message will be passed on in the request, and response headers that start with Sforce will be present in the outbound message headers.

For example to fetch API limits you can specify:

// in your Camel route set the header before Salesforce endpoint
//...
  .setHeader("Sforce-Limit-Info", constant("api-usage"))
  .to("salesforce:getGlobalObjects")
  .to(myProcessor);

// myProcessor will receive `Sforce-Limit-Info` header on the outbound
// message
class MyProcessor implements Processor {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        Message in = exchange.getIn();
        String apiLimits = in.getHeader("Sforce-Limit-Info", String.class);
   }
}

In addition, HTTP response status code and text are available as headers Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE and Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_TEXT.

Sending null values to salesforce

By default, SObject fields with null values are not sent to salesforce. In order to send null values to salesforce, use the fieldsToNull property, as follows:

accountSObject.getFieldsToNull().add("Site");

Supported Salesforce APIs

Camel supports the following Salesforce APIs:

REST API

The following operations are supported:

Unless otherwise specified, DTO types for the following options are from org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto or one if its sub-packages.

Versions

getVersions

Lists summary information about each Salesforce version currently available, including the version, label, and a link to each version’s root.

Output

Type: List<Version>

Resources by Version

getResources

Lists available resources for the current API version, including resource name and URI.

Output

Type: Map<String, String>

Limits

limits

Lists information about limits in your org. For each limit, this resource returns the maximum allocation and the remaining allocation based on usage.

Output

Type: Limits

Additional Usage Information

With salesforce:limits operation you can fetch of API limits from Salesforce and then act upon that data received. The result of salesforce:limits operation is mapped to org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.Limits class and can be used in a custom processors or expressions.

For instance, consider that you need to limit the API usage of Salesforce so that 10% of daily API requests is left for other routes. The body of output message contains an instance of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.Limits object that can be used in conjunction with Content Based Router and Content Based Router and Spring Expression Language (SpEL) to choose when to perform queries.

Notice how multiplying 1.0 with the integer value held in body.dailyApiRequests.remaining makes the expression evaluate as with floating point arithmetic, without it - it would end up making integral division which would result with either 0 (some API limits consumed) or 1 (no API limits consumed).

from("direct:querySalesforce")
    .to("salesforce:limits")
    .choice()
    .when(spel("#{1.0 * body.dailyApiRequests.remaining / body.dailyApiRequests.max < 0.1}"))
        .to("salesforce:query?...")
    .otherwise()
        .setBody(constant("Used up Salesforce API limits, leaving 10% for critical routes"))
    .endChoice()

Recently Viewed Items

recent

Gets the most recently accessed items that were viewed or referenced by the current user. Salesforce stores information about record views in the interface and uses it to generate a list of recently viewed and referenced records, such as in the sidebar and for the auto-complete options in search.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

limit

int

An optional limit that specifies the maximum number of records to be returned. If this parameter is not specified, the default maximum number of records returned is the maximum number of entries in RecentlyViewed, which is 200 records per object.

Type: List<RecentItem>

Additional Usage Information

To fetch the recent items use salesforce:recent operation. This operation returns an java.util.List of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.RecentItem objects (List<RecentItem>) that in turn contain the Id, Name and Attributes (with type and url properties). You can limit the number of returned items by specifying limit parameter set to maximum number of records to return. For example:

from("direct:fetchRecentItems")
    to("salesforce:recent")
        .split().body()
            .log("${body.name} at ${body.attributes.url}");

Submit Approval

approval

Submit a record or records (batch) for approval process.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

Body

ApprovalRequest or List<ApprovalRequest>

ApprovalRequest(s) to process

Approval.

Prefixed headers or endpoint options in lieu of passing an ApprovalRequest in the body.

Output

Type: ApprovalResult

Additional usage information

All the properties are named exactly the same as in the Salesforce REST API prefixed with approval.. You can set approval properties by setting approval.PropertyName of the Endpoint these will be used as template — meaning that any property not present in either body or header will be taken from the Endpoint configuration. Or you can set the approval template on the Endpoint by assigning approval property to a reference onto a bean in the Registry.

You can also provide header values using the same approval.PropertyName in the incoming message headers.

And finally body can contain one AprovalRequest or an Iterable of ApprovalRequest objects to process as a batch.

The important thing to remember is the priority of the values specified in these three mechanisms:

  1. value in body takes precedence before any other

  2. value in message header takes precedence before template value

  3. value in template is set if no other value in header or body was given

For example to send one record for approval using values in headers use:

Given a route:

from("direct:example1")//
        .setHeader("approval.ContextId", simple("${body['contextId']}"))
        .setHeader("approval.NextApproverIds", simple("${body['nextApproverIds']}"))
        .to("salesforce:approval?"//
            + "approval.actionType=Submit"//
            + "&approval.comments=this is a test"//
            + "&approval.processDefinitionNameOrId=Test_Account_Process"//
            + "&approval.skipEntryCriteria=true");

You could send a record for approval using:

final Map<String, String> body = new HashMap<>();
body.put("contextId", accountIds.iterator().next());
body.put("nextApproverIds", userId);

final ApprovalResult result = template.requestBody("direct:example1", body, ApprovalResult.class);

Get Approvals

approvals

Returns a list of all approval processes.

Output

Type: Approvals

Composite

composite

Executes up to 25 REST API requests in a single call. You can use the output of one request as the input to a subsequent request. The response bodies and HTTP statuses of the requests are returned in a single response body. The entire series of requests counts as a single call toward your API limits. Use Salesforce Composite API to submit multiple chained requests. Individual requests and responses are linked with the provided reference.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

Body

SObjectComposite

Contains REST API sub-requests to be executed.

x

rawPayload

Boolean

Any (un)marshaling of requests and responses are assumed to be handled by the route

false

x

compositeMethod

String

HTTP method to use for rawPayload requests.

POST

Output

Type: SObjectCompositeResponse

Composite API supports only JSON payloads.

As with the batch API, the results can vary from API to API so the body of each SObjectCompositeResult instance is given as a java.lang.Object. In most cases the result will be a java.util.Map with string keys and values or other java.util.Map as value. Requests are made in JSON format hold some type information (i.e. it is known what values are strings and what values are numbers).

Lets look at an example:

SObjectComposite composite = new SObjectComposite("38.0", true);

// first insert operation via an external id
final Account updateAccount = new TestAccount();
updateAccount.setName("Salesforce");
updateAccount.setBillingStreet("Landmark @ 1 Market Street");
updateAccount.setBillingCity("San Francisco");
updateAccount.setBillingState("California");
updateAccount.setIndustry(Account_IndustryEnum.TECHNOLOGY);
composite.addUpdate("Account", "001xx000003DIpcAAG", updateAccount, "UpdatedAccount");

final Contact newContact = new TestContact();
newContact.setLastName("John Doe");
newContact.setPhone("1234567890");
composite.addCreate(newContact, "NewContact");

final AccountContactJunction__c junction = new AccountContactJunction__c();
junction.setAccount__c("001xx000003DIpcAAG");
junction.setContactId__c("@{NewContact.id}");
composite.addCreate(junction, "JunctionRecord");

final SObjectCompositeResponse response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite", composite, SObjectCompositeResponse.class);
final List<SObjectCompositeResult> results = response.getCompositeResponse();

final SObjectCompositeResult accountUpdateResult = results.stream().filter(r -> "UpdatedAccount".equals(r.getReferenceId())).findFirst().get()
final int statusCode = accountUpdateResult.getHttpStatusCode(); // should be 200
final Map<String, ?> accountUpdateBody = accountUpdateResult.getBody();

final SObjectCompositeResult contactCreationResult = results.stream().filter(r -> "JunctionRecord".equals(r.getReferenceId())).findFirst().get()

Using the rawPayload option

It’s possible to directly call Salesforce composite by preparing the Salesforce JSON request in the route thanks to the rawPayload option.

For instance, you can have the following route:

from("timer:fire?period=2000").setBody(constant("{\n" +
     " \"allOrNone\" : true,\n" +
     " \"records\" : [ { \n" +
     "   \"attributes\" : {\"type\" : \"FOO\"},\n" +
     "   \"Name\" : \"123456789\",\n" +
     "   \"FOO\" : \"XXXX\",\n" +
     "   \"ACCOUNT\" : 2100.0\n" +
     "   \"ExternalID\" : \"EXTERNAL\"\n"
     " }]\n" +
     "}")
   .to("salesforce:composite?rawPayload=true")
   .log("${body}");

The route directly creates the body as JSON and directly submit to salesforce endpoint using rawPayload=true option.

With this approach, you have the complete control on the Salesforce request.

POST is the default HTTP method used to send raw Composite requests to salesforce. Use the compositeMethod option to override to the other supported value, GET, which returns a list of other available composite resources.

Composite Tree

composite-tree

Create up to 200 records with parent-child relationships (up to 5 levels) in one go.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

Body

SObjectTree

Contains REST API sub-requests to be executed.

x

Output

Type: SObjectTree

To create up to 200 records including parent-child relationships use salesforce:composite-tree operation. This requires an instance of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.composite.SObjectTree in the input message and returns the same tree of objects in the output message. The org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.AbstractSObjectBase instances within the tree get updated with the identifier values (Id property) or their corresponding org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.composite.SObjectNode is populated with errors on failure.

Note that for some records operation can succeed and for some it can fail — so you need to manually check for errors.

Easiest way to use this functionality is to use the DTOs generated by the camel-salesforce-maven-plugin, but you also have the option of customizing the references that identify the each object in the tree, for instance primary keys from your database.

Lets look at an example:

Account account = ...
Contact president = ...
Contact marketing = ...

Account anotherAccount = ...
Contact sales = ...
Asset someAsset = ...

// build the tree
SObjectTree request = new SObjectTree();
request.addObject(account).addChildren(president, marketing);
request.addObject(anotherAccount).addChild(sales).addChild(someAsset);

final SObjectTree response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite-tree", tree, SObjectTree.class);
final Map<Boolean, List<SObjectNode>> result = response.allNodes()
                                                   .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(SObjectNode::hasErrors));

final List<SObjectNode> withErrors = result.get(true);
final List<SObjectNode> succeeded = result.get(false);

final String firstId = succeeded.get(0).getId();

Composite Batch

composite-batch

Submit a composition of requests in batch. Executes up to 25 sub-requests in a single request.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

Body

SObjectBatch

Contains sub-requests to be executed.

x

Output

Type: SObjectBatchResponse

The Composite API batch operation allows you to accumulate multiple requests in a batch and then submit them in one go, saving the round trip cost of multiple individual requests. Each response is then received in a list of responses with the order preserved, so that the n-th requests response is in the n-th place of the response.

The results can vary from API to API so the result of each sub-request (SObjectBatchResult.result) is given as a java.lang.Object. In most cases the result will be a java.util.Map with string keys and values or other java.util.Map as value. Requests are made in JSON format and hold some type information (i.e. it is known what values are strings and what values are numbers).

Lets look at an example:

final String acountId = ...
final SObjectBatch batch = new SObjectBatch("53.0");

final Account updates = new Account();
updates.setName("NewName");
batch.addUpdate("Account", accountId, updates);

final Account newAccount = new Account();
newAccount.setName("Account created from Composite batch API");
batch.addCreate(newAccount);

batch.addGet("Account", accountId, "Name", "BillingPostalCode");

batch.addDelete("Account", accountId);

final SObjectBatchResponse response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite-batch", batch, SObjectBatchResponse.class);

boolean hasErrors = response.hasErrors(); // if any of the requests has resulted in either 4xx or 5xx HTTP status
final List<SObjectBatchResult> results = response.getResults(); // results of three operations sent in batch

final SObjectBatchResult updateResult = results.get(0); // update result
final int updateStatus = updateResult.getStatusCode(); // probably 204
final Object updateResultData = updateResult.getResult(); // probably null

final SObjectBatchResult createResult = results.get(1); // create result
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Map<String, Object> createData = (Map<String, Object>) createResult.getResult();
final String newAccountId = createData.get("id"); // id of the new account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Result").get("id")

final SObjectBatchResult retrieveResult = results.get(2); // retrieve result
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Map<String, Object> retrieveData = (Map<String, Object>) retrieveResult.getResult();
final String accountName = retrieveData.get("Name"); // Name of the retrieved account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Account").get("Name")
final String accountBillingPostalCode = retrieveData.get("BillingPostalCode"); // Name of the retrieved account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Account").get("BillingPostalCode")

final SObjectBatchResult deleteResult = results.get(3); // delete result
final int updateStatus = deleteResult.getStatusCode(); // probably 204
final Object updateResultData = deleteResult.getResult(); // probably null

Bulk (original) API

Producer endpoints can use the following APIs. All Job data formats, i.e. xml, csv, zip/xml, and zip/csv are supported.
The request and response have to be marshalled/unmarshalled by the route. Usually the request will be some stream source like a CSV file, and the response may also be saved to a file to be correlated with the request.

The following operations are supported:

Streaming API

The Streaming API enables streaming of events using push technology and provides a subscription mechanism for receiving events in near real time. The Streaming API subscription mechanism supports multiple types of events, including PushTopic events, generic events, platform events, and Change Data Capture events.

Push Topics

The URI format for consuming Push Topics is:

salesforce:subscribe:<topic_name>[?options]

To create and subscribe to a topic

from("salesforce:subscribe:CamelTestTopic?notifyForFields=ALL&notifyForOperations=ALL&sObjectName=Merchandise__c&updateTopic=true&sObjectQuery=SELECT Id, Name FROM Merchandise__c")...

To subscribe to an existing topic

from("salesforce:subscribe:CamelTestTopic&sObjectName=Merchandise__c")...
Parameter Type Description Default Required

sObjectName

String

Output

Type: Class passed via sObjectName parameter

Platform Events

To emit a platform event use the createSObject operation, passing an instance of a platform event, e.g. Order_Event__e.

The URI format for consuming platform events is:

salesforce:subscribe:event/<event_name>

For example, to receive platform events use for the event type Order_Event__e:

from("salesforce:subscribe:event/Order_Event__e")
Parameter Type Description Default Required

rawPayload

Boolean

If false, operation returns a PlatformEvent, otherwise returns the raw Bayeux Message

false

replayId

int

The replayId value to use when subscribing.

defaultReplayId

int

Default replayId setting if no value is found in initialReplayIdMap.

-1

fallBackReplayId

int

-1

Output

Type: PlatformEvent or org.cometd.bayeux.Message

Change Data Capture Events

Change Data Capture (CDC) allows you to receive near-real-time changes of Salesforce records, and synchronize corresponding records in an external data store. Change Data Capture publishes change events, which represent changes to Salesforce records. Changes include creation of a new record, updates to an existing record, deletion of a record, and undeletion of a record.

The URI format to consume CDC events is as follows:

All Selected Entities

salesforce:subscribe:data/ChangeEvents

Standard Objects

salesforce:subscribe:data/<Standard_Object_Name>ChangeEvent

Custom Objects

salesforce:subscribe:data/<Custom_Object_Name>__ChangeEvent

Here are a few examples

from("salesforce:subscribe:data/ChangeEvents?replayId=-1").log("being notified of all change events")
from("salesforce:subscribe:data/AccountChangeEvent?replayId=-1").log("being notified of change events for Account records")
from("salesforce:subscribe:data/Employee__ChangeEvent?replayId=-1").log("being notified of change events for Employee__c custom object")

More details about how to use the Camel Salesforce component change data capture capabilities could be found in the ChangeEventsConsumerIntegrationTest.

The Salesforce developer guide is a good fit to better know the subtleties of implementing a change data capture integration application. The dynamic nature of change event body fields, high level replication steps as well as security considerations could be of interest.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

rawPayload

Boolean

If false, operation returns a Map<String, Object>, otherwise returns the raw Bayeux Message

false

replayId

int

The replayId value to use when subscribing.

Miscellaneous Operations

  • raw - Send requests to salesforce and have full, raw control over endpoint, parameters, body, etc.

Raw

raw

Sends HTTP requests to salesforce with full, raw control of all aspects of the call. Any serialization or deserialization of request and response bodies must be performed in the route. The Content-Type HTTP header will be automatically set based on the format option, but this can be overridden with the rawHttpHeaders option.

Parameter Type Description Default Required

Body

String or InputStream

Body of the HTTP request

rawPath

String

The portion of the endpoint URL after the domain name, e.g., '/services/data/v51.0/sobjects/Account/'

x

rawMethod

String

The HTTP method

x

rawQueryParameters

String

Comma separated list of message headers to include as query parameters. Do not url-encode values as this will be done automatically.

rawHttpHeaders

String

Comma separated list of message headers to include as HTTP headers

Output

Type: InputStream

Query example

In this example we’ll send a query to the REST API. The query must be passed in a URL parameter called "q", so we’ll create a message header called q and tell the raw operation to include that message header as a URL parameter:

from("direct:queryExample")
  .setHeader("q", "SELECT Id, LastName FROM Contact")
  .to("salesforce:raw?format=JSON&rawMethod=GET&rawQueryParameters=q&rawPath=/services/data/v51.0/query")
  // deserialize JSON results or handle in some other way

SObject example

In this example, we’ll pass a Contact the REST API in a create operation. Since the raw operation does not perform any serialization, we make sure to pass XML in the message body

from("direct:createAContact")
  .setBody(constant("<Contact><LastName>TestLast</LastName></Contact>"))
  .to("salesforce:raw?format=XML&rawMethod=POST&rawPath=/services/data/v51.0/sobjects/Contact")

The response is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Result>
    <id>0034x00000RnV6zAAF</id>
    <success>true</success>
</Result>

Uploading a document to a ContentWorkspace

Create the ContentVersion in Java, using a Processor instance:

public class ContentProcessor implements Processor {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        Message message = exchange.getIn();

        ContentVersion cv = new ContentVersion();
        ContentWorkspace cw = getWorkspace(exchange);
        cv.setFirstPublishLocationId(cw.getId());
        cv.setTitle("test document");
        cv.setPathOnClient("test_doc.html");
        byte[] document = message.getBody(byte[].class);
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        String enc = mapper.convertValue(document, String.class);
        cv.setVersionDataUrl(enc);
        message.setBody(cv);
    }

    protected ContentWorkspace getWorkSpace(Exchange exchange) {
        // Look up the content workspace somehow, maybe use enrich() to add it to a
        // header that can be extracted here
        ....
    }
}

Give the output from the processor to the Salesforce component:

from("file:///home/camel/library")
    .to(new ContentProcessor())     // convert bytes from the file into a ContentVersion SObject
                                    // for the salesforce component
    .to("salesforce:createSObject");

Generating SOQL query strings

org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.utils.QueryHelper contains helper methods to generate SOQL queries. For instance to fetch all custom fields from Account SObject you can simply generate the SOQL SELECT by invoking:

String allCustomFieldsQuery = QueryHelper.queryToFetchFilteredFieldsOf(new Account(), SObjectField::isCustom);

Camel Salesforce Maven Plugin

The Maven plugin generates Java DTOs to represent salesforce objects.

Please refer to README.md for details on how to use the plugin.
