How to Use the Package

This section demonstrates how you can work with the package, and the different options for using the package functions.

Create Data Records in Salesforce

The following describes how you can use this package to add a new Salesforce object instance (record). In our example, we demonstrate how to create a new Account object record, but you can use the code to create one or more records for any Salesforce object type. In our example, we create the record with the Name and Phone fields, but you can adapt the code to create records with any fields. .

1. To use the createRecords() function in your page code, add a web module to your backend. We’ll call ours salesforce-wrapper.jsw. Include the following code in this file:

   Copy

2. Add the following page elements to your site:

   • 2 text inputs for adding the record data.
   • Button to trigger record creation.
   • Text element for validation messages.

3. Import the createRecordsWrapper() function from the web module to your page code and run it when the button is clicked. Call the createRecordsWrapper() function to create the record with data from the input elements.

Query Data Records from Salesforce

The following describes how you can use this package to query a phone number from a specific Account record (Salesforce object) based on the record name. If you want to query a different field or a different Salesforce object type, simply adapt the code for your use case.

1. To use the queryRecords() function in your page code, add a web module to your backend. We’ll call ours salesforce-wrapper.jsw. Include the following code in this file:

   Copy

2. Add the following page elements to your site:

   • Text input for getting the record name.
   • Text element for displaying the returned data.
   • Button to trigger the query.
   • Text element for validation messages.

3. Import the getPhoneBasedOnName() function from the web module to your page code and run it when the button is clicked to query the records.
