We will explore a complex integration requirement from a hypothetical scenario requiring access to an external system’s data and functionality from within Salesforce. Using the Canvas SDK with an external web-based Node.js application running on Heroku, we will see how to easily integrate the two systems to create a UI mashup as well as provide a bi-directional event-driven integration, giving users the ability to perform logic and operate on data in both systems from within the Salesforce UI. There will be a demonstration on how this works at a functional level as well as looking behind the scenes at the code for both Salesforce and the Node.js app. We will also walk through how to set this all up from a technical standpoint from within Salesforce so that when you leave this session you will understand the steps that are necessary to recreate this yourself.
