Configuring the Salesforce.com Integration

The Salesforce.com integration was first introduced in Service Manager Release 2015.2 as an optional feature. The feature has been enhanced in Service Manager Release 2016.1. If your application does not have the feature, download and import the package (see Installing the Salesforce.com Package).

About the Integration

The Salesforce.com integration is an optional integration. This integration allows you to synchronize contacts and accounts between Salesforce.com and Service Manager. There are three supported mechanisms in this integration:

You can do a bulk import of accounts and contacts from Salesforce.com to Service Manager to initially synchronize the two systems.

You can configure Salesforce.com to send updates to Service Manager when new accounts and contacts are created or existing ones are updated.

Service Manager can update Salesforce.com contacts when modified through a quick action. You can call the quick action manually or configure a workflow to automate the quick action, depending on whether you want all updates to Service Manager contacts to be reflected back to Salesforce.com. Installing the Salesforce.com package automatically initiates this process in the workflow.

You must configure both Service Manager and Salesforce.com to enable this integration. Additional Ivanti Information describes changes to Service Manager to support importing records, to receive the notifications of changes from Salesforce.com, and to be able to send updates to Salesforce.com. Setting Up the Salesforce.com System describes how to configure Salesforce.com to notify Service Manager when an account or contact is created or edited.

Prerequisites

To use the Salesforce.com integration, you must have originally installed Service Manager Release 2013.2 or later on your application. If you originally installed an earlier version of Service Manager and then upgraded to Service Manager Release 2013.2 or later, the Salesforce.com integration will not work.

You must have the following components installed and running on your Service Manager application for the Salesforce.com integration to work:

Message queue

Integration service

Workflow service

Setting Up the Salesforce.com System

Getting Ready to Configure the Salesforce.com System

Creating or Resetting the Security Token

Creating a Remote Site

Getting Ready to Configure the Salesforce.com System

1.Before you begin, you must have a valid Salesforce.com account. If you do not have one, you can create a developer account in Salesforce.com for testing purposes. Go to https://developer.salesforce.com/signup to create the account.

2.Install the Salesforce.com integration from https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t37000000EUtg.

You must copy and paste the link above. You cannot click on it to launch it as it does not work correctly when you click on it.

If you are installing the Salesforce.com integration into a sandbox organization you must replace the initial portion of the URL with http://test.salesforce.com.

Creating or Resetting the Security Token

1.Log into Salesforce.com. The application displays the Salesforce.com home page.

2.At the top of the page, click the down arrow next to your name and select either Setup or My Settings.

3.From the left panel, do one of the following:

If you clicked Setup, select My Personal Information > Reset My Security Token.

If you clicked My Settings, select Personal > Reset My Security Token.

4.Click Reset Security Token. Salesforce.com emails you a new security token. Keep this email.

Creating a Remote Site

1.Log into Salesforce.com. The application displays the Salesforce.com home page.

2.Click Remote Site Settings. Salesforce.com displays the All Remote Sites page.

3.Create a new remote site by clicking New Remote Site. Salesforce.com displays the Remote Site Edit page.

4.Enter information into the fields.

Field Description
Remote Site Name The name of the new remote site. For example, enter HEATTarget.
Remote Site URL The URL of the new remote site. For example, enter https://mycompany.saasit.com.
Disable Protocol Security Disables security for the new remote site.  Leave unchecked.
Description An optional description.
Active Specifies if the new remote site is active. Check this option.

About Configuring the Settings in Ivanti

Before performing the steps in this section, ensure that your application has the Salesforce.com integration. This is an optional feature. If your application does not have the feature, download and import the package (see Installing the Salesforce.com Package).

You can import data from Salesforce.com into Service Manager by importing a .CSV file using the Service Manager data import tool (as described in Data Import Connections). There are connectors created already in Service Manager for importing account and contact data. These connections are called Account Import and Contact Import.

The subsequent data flow between Service Manager and Salesforce.com is bi-directional. From the Salesforce.com side, any new accounts or contact business objects and succeeding updates on either business object triggers a web service call to insert or update into Service Manager. From the Service Manager side, any update on an existing contact triggers a Service Manager workflow where a quick action calls the Salesforce.com web service to update the corresponding contact in Salesforce.com.

Installing the Salesforce.com Package

The Salesforce.com package consists of the following files:

Salesforce_Integration_2016.1.MetadataPatch

Salesforce_Integration_2016.1_UIUpdate.MetadataPatch. Importing this package adds additional account and contact forms designed for the Salesforce.com integration to your Service Manager application. Do not import this package if you want to retain your existing UI settings for the account and contact forms. See Customizing the Salesforce.com Form for information about customizing the account and contact forms if you do not import this package.

The Salesforce_Integration_2016.1_UIUpdate.MetadataPatch file adds additional account and contact forms and layouts that are designed specifically for the Salesforce.com integration. You must be on Service Manager Release 2014.3 or later to use this patch. If you do not import this patch, you can achieve the same results by following the steps in Customizing the Salesforce.com Form.

Follow these steps to import the package into your application:

1.Download the Salesforce_Integration_2016.1.MetadataPatch file and save it to a convenient location.

2.From the Configuration Console, click Build > HEAT Development Package > Package.

3.Click Import Package.

4.Select Validate and apply if no errors.

5.Click Browse..., find the package that you downloaded, and click Open.

The application installs the package. See Importing a Package for more information about packages.

As part of the package import process, the application automatically turns on the workflow for contact updates that originated in Service Manager to Salesforce.

6.Refresh the workflow by doing the following:

a. From the Configuration Console, click Build > Business Objects to open the Business Objects workspace.
a. Open the External Contact business object.
b. Click the Workflows tab.
c. Open the workflow called EditSFContact.
d. On the left, check the box next to the newest version.
e. From the More Actions drop-down menu, select Deactivate Version. Click Yes when prompted.
f. On the left, check the box next to the newest version.
g. From the More Actions drop-down menu, select Activate Version. Click Yes when prompted.

7.(Optional) Repeat steps 1-6 for the Salesforce_Integration_2016.1_UIUpdate.MetadataPatch file.

8.To download the workflow rules that are configured in Salesforce.com, go to https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t37000000EUtg.

You must copy and paste the link above. You cannot click on it to launch it as it does not work correctly when you click on it.

If you are installing the Salesforce.com integration into a sandbox organization you must replace the initial portion of the URL with http://test.salesforce.com.

9.Log into Salesforce.com and download the file.
