Suite Components

The Salesforce Suite contains several component modules. Of these, salesforce_api and at least one of the import/export modules (sf_node or sf_user) is required for operation. sf_contrib adds additional functionality for import/export of Location and CCK fields. The other modules (sf_prematch, sf_notifications, sf_queue) provide optional functionality that may be required for certain types of integration.

Export Queue (sf_queue)

The module sf_queue implements a queueing system for exports. Since Salesforce API's create and update functions can only modify up to 200

Notifications (sf_notifications)

Salesforce Outbound Messages (referred to as Notifications) are XML messages from Salesforce that can be sent based on Salesforce Workflow

Prematching (sf_prematch)

The module sf_prematch provides administrators the ability to set up duplicate prevention criteria on each fieldmap.

Salesforce Import (sf_import)

The module sf_import (bundled with salesforce) exposes a cron hook to import from SFDC and facilitate bidrectional sync on a cron schedule.
