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.

Request Elements

Element	Data Type	Required?	Default	Description	Sample Data
RequestId	Int32	No		Click here for more information
SessionTicket	String	Yes		Click here for more information
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
