Overview
This web service allows a caller to initiate an import from a Salesforce-like environment. In the standard Projector-Salesforce integration, Projector pulls data from Salesforce. In a web-services based import, this service provides a means to push data into Projector. This service allows one to send XML data to Projector, which Projector then processes by transforming via a pre-configured mapping template. The transformed result is then stored in a staging table which functions like a queue. Later, Projector can read from this queue to create the actual, desired Projector entities.

SourceEntityData | String | Yes |
|
| A block of XML that represents that data being sent to Projector. It should contain elements that the mapping template expects. | <MyOpportunity><Id>12345</Id><OpportunityName>Big Sale</OpportunityName><StartDate>6/15/2020</StartDate><EndDate>6/18/2021</EndDate></MyOpportunity> | |
SourceEntityDescription | String | No |
|
| Description of the source entity. It should be meaningful to users but does not play a role in the import process. | [MyAccountName].[MyOpportunityName] | |
SourceEntityIdentifier | String | Yes |
|
| Uniquely identifies the source entity | 1342839000011290083 | |
SourceEntityName | String | Yes |
|
| Type of entity that is being imported from the outside system | Opportunity | |
TestFlag | Boolean | No |
|
| False | If true, runs the service in test mode. In test mode, the pre-configured mapping template is applied to the SourceEntityData but the result is not saved (i.e. nothing is pushed to the staging table). Use this option to validate the pre-configured mapping template works as expected. | False |
