Integrating Salesforce Is Not As Hard As It Is Made Out To Be

Integrating Salesforce Is Not As Hard As It Is Made Out To Be

We all know Salesforce to be a powerful CRM. While it is a powerful tool, it is often criticized for being clunky and difficult to integrate with other systems.

Traditionally, integrating Salesforce natively with other software could be a time-consuming and complex process. However, our integrations team has recently built an integration that was completed in less than four hours. More on that here. This is a testament to the recent improvements made by Salesforce, which have simplified the integration process.

The platform has undergone a significant overhaul in recent years, with a focus on making the interface more user-friendly and intuitive. This has not only made it easier for users to navigate and use the platform, but it has also made it easier to integrate with other systems.

The Salesforce API (Application Programming Interface) is well-documented and allows developers to integrate Salesforce with other systems easily. The API is available in both SOAP and REST formats, making it easy to integrate Salesforce with a wide range of systems, including custom-built applications.

This now begs the question, should you use a unified API provider to integrate Salesforce? You shouldn't if Salesforce is the only integration your teams/customers need. Go through the steps in this article and you should be up and running in less than an hour. We have distilled down the 4 hours of grunt work we did to just the steps you need to integrate Salesforce.
