dotproject and Salesforce.com: the code
Earlier, I stumbled on a use case for integrating external data into Salesforce.com: one-way, read-only data pulls from external systems to take advantage of Salesforce.com’s superior analytics. I’ve had a number of requests to publish the details, and now I’ve gotten the code to the point where I’m not embarrassed to share it.
Here’s the PHP script, which I run as a scheduled job. And here is the salesforce.com custom object I write to.
I’d lin to thank all the folks over on the dotproject open source project. They’ve done great work and I’ve obviously borrowed heavily from their work in getting this integration going.
Enojy. I hope it spurs some great ideas. I always welcome comments on how I could clean up the code.
