Installation Support
If you want to install S4S, you can do this in around four hours. The connector has quite a few options so we are happy to help you with a complimentary assisted install to get you up and running quickly. Please suggest a date and time that works for us in New Zealand. It will take an hour and can be done via GoToMeeting. You will need a Sitecore developer, a working Sitecore instance, and the credentials (and security token) to access your Salesforce instance (see below) via a provisioned API user.
Unassisted Installation
S4S install information:
If you want to install S4S yourself then please download and install the release your Sitecore version (please email us for access to the download folder). The downloaded connector will work against any Salesforce Sandbox or Developer Edition without licensing. Please note the following Salesforce environments:
Salesforce Edition | Recommendation |
Production | A live instance of Salesforce – typically contains multiple customizations - do not develop against |
Sandbox | Subset copy of production that can be “refreshed” from production once a month - best to develop against |
Developer | Free Salesforce Enterprise – great to develop against but does not contain the customer’s customizations |
Trial | Not recommended as these typically expire in a month. You will also meet your Salesforce account manager |
Please email support to arrange a suitable time for:
- Free assisted installs via GoToMeeting
- Pre-sales technical help
- Optional RDP and onsite installs
- Web Conferencing is typically GoToMeeting
For more information please view the S4S Assisted Installation page.
Developer Tools
- FuseIT SFDC Explorer - This tool will validate your API credentials and you can generate strongly typed Salesforce classes in .NET
- S4S Status Page - After installation, use this page to check the settings
- S4S Version History - Identify any potential conflicts between versions
- Code snippets
- Starter Kit package in the S4S download shows examples of custom implementations
Other information
To get started you could take the following approach:
- Install S4S into a Sitecore DEV website (or use the vanilla Starter Kit that is included with S4S)
- Point to your Salesforce Sandbox which will have the customizations replicated from your production instance (or map it to a Salesforce Developer instance without customizations)
When developing custom functionality against Salesforce please consider the following:
- Salesforce Partner API limitations versus expected throughput usage
- Use the Singleton to improve S4S access performance to Salesforce. It keeps the connection alive
- These diagrams are good if you want an ERD view of Salesforce object
