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.).
