S4S Installation

Introduction

This wiki covers the steps needed to install and configure the FuseIT S4S connector. The audience for this section is developers with experience installing and configuring Sitecore. Experience with Salesforce should not be required.

How to Use this Wiki

We recommend you use the Next Step link at the bottom of each page. Always check that the feature you are installing is required by your business (optional features are marked Optional).


The connector has many options - most will NOT be required.

Use the S4S Installation Chart to ensure you only install what is needed.

S4S Installation Overview

Basic Install

The basic install requires a package to be installed into Sitecore and some minor Salesforce customization. Once completed you can create, read, update and delete Salesforce objects from Sitecore (like Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Documents, Cases or custom objects). You can execute this functionality in Sitecore using custom code (see the Starter Kit or examples in this document). Note that S4S typically pushes and pulls information to and from Salesforce after a Sitecore event (button click, page load, scheduled task etc.).
