Creating Salesforce Object Service

Create a Salesforce Object Service

VoltMX Foundry supports Salesforce as an endpoint in object services. The VoltMX Foundry developer creates a Salesforce object service and defines the data model with the fields required by the mobile app. Upon publishing the VoltMX Foundry app, a data schema is created in the back end based on the data model and a new self-contained database is instantiated.

A user needs to have a valid Salesforce login to perform any operation. Users can perform the following after the login is authenticated.

  • Generate the app data model from the backend Salesforce objects.
  • Map the data model to the app model once it is defined.
  • Invoke standard CRUD operations on the objects.
  • Explore objects from the Salesforce database.
  • Add Salesforce objects to Sync Scope.
  • Test Salesforce methods from the console.
