About this service

Summary

I offer secure and scalable Salesforce API integration services with any external systemโ€”whether it's a REST/SOAP-based platform, middleware, or a custom-built backend. With over 5 years of experience integrating Salesforce with tools like HubSpot, Stripe, AWS, SAP, and Node.js, I specialize in crafting real-time and batch data flows using Apex, Named Credentials, and Platform Events. What sets me apart is my ability to deliver clean, testable integrations with clear documentation and long-term maintainability.

Process

๐Ÿ“‹ Discovery & Requirement Gathering
Understand the external system, integration objectives, and authentication method
Identify Salesforce objects, external endpoints, data formats, and frequency (real-time or batch)
๐Ÿง  Integration Design
Define integration direction (inbound, outbound, or bidirectional)
Create field mapping and data flow diagrams
Select appropriate methods (REST, SOAP, Platform Events, etc.)
โš™๏ธ Salesforce Configuration & Apex Development
Set up Named Credentials, Remote Site Settings, and Connected Apps (if needed)
Develop Apex callouts, REST endpoints, or middleware connectors
Build data transformation logic and governor-safe error handling
๐Ÿงช Testing & Validation
Simulate API calls using Postman or external system
Verify data integrity, response handling, and retry logic
Write test classes for Apex coverage (>75%)
๐Ÿš€ Deployment & Go-Live
Migrate tested components to production via Change Sets or SFDX
Configure schedules, webhook listeners, or triggers as per final design
Validate full end-to-end sync post-deployment
๐Ÿ“– Documentation & Handoff
Provide API reference guide (auth setup, payloads, status codes)
Deliver error handling instructions and integration logs (if applicable)
Optional: training session or walkthrough
๐Ÿ”ง Post-Go-Live Support (Optional)
Monitor API traffic, error logs, and platform behavior
Resolve edge cases, optimize performance, or add new endpoints as needed
