#974 OIC & SFDC Streaming API and Platform Events

The OIC SFDC adapter also supports Salesforce Streaming API, something I've never tried out, until now that is. The Streaming API works on the basis of Platform Events e.g. new SFDC account created. Think of it this way - as soon as a new SFDC account is created, push it to the SFDC event bus. OIC will pick it up from there.

Now to OIC...

Create an Integration with SFDC as Trigger

I then add a Logger action - 

Let's do a sanity test - 

I enter a new SFDC Account with an Irish address -

I check out my OIC project Observability page -

Simple and succinct!
