Procedure: How to Create an Outbound Message
To
create an outbound message using the Salesforce Web console:
-
Log on to the Salesforce Web console.
-
Click Setup.
The Personal Setup page opens.
-
In the left pane, expand Create, Workflow
& Approvals, and click Outbound Messages.
The All Outbound Messages page opens.
-
Click New Outbound Message to define
a new outbound message.
The New Outbound Message page opens and Step 1: Select
object is displayed.
-
From the Select object drop-down list, select the object that
has the information you want included in the outbound message, for
example, Contact.
-
Click Next.
The Step 2: Configure Outbound Message page opens.
-
Perform the following steps:
-
In the Name field, enter a name for this outbound message,
for example, New_Contact_Out.
-
In the Description field, enter a brief description for this outbound
message (optional).
-
In the Endpoint URL field, enter the URL where the channel
that is configured using iWay Explorer is listening. The Salesforce
system sends a SOAP message to this channel.
For security reasons, Salesforce restricts the outbound
ports you may specify to one of the following:
- 80: This
port only accepts HTTP connections.
- 443: This
port only accepts HTTPS connections.
- 7000-10000
(inclusive): These ports accept HTTP or HTTPS connections.
-
In the User to send as field, specify the Salesforce user to
use when sending the outbound message.
This user controls data visibility for the outbound message
that is sent to the channel.
-
Select the Send Session ID option if you
want a Salesforce session ID to be included in the outbound message.
-
From the Available Fields list, select the
field(s) you want included in the outbound message and click Add to
move them to the Selected Fields list.
-
Click Save.
The Outbound Message (New_Contact_Out) page opens.
This page provides
a detailed summary about the outbound message that you configured.
You
are now ready to create a workflow rule to associate with this outbound message
for event handling.
