Force.com Integration Solutions

This section covers integration solutions in Force.com that are configured, not coded. They are outbound messaging and Salesforce-to-Salesforce (S2S). When you have a high degree of control over the design of both sides of an integration, these features provide the most cost-effective options for sending data out from Force.com from a development and operational perspective.

Outbound Messaging

Outbound messaging is a feature of Force.com that sends a Web service request to an endpoint URL that you designate, using HTTP or HTTPS. The outbound message itself is best described as a notification. It is a simple SOAP message that contains one or more fields from a single object.
