Overview

Events are generated as a result of activity on an application system. You can use events to trigger an action in your application.

The iWay Application Adapter for Salesforce supports event handling through the Salesforce implementation of outbound messages and workflow rules. Outbound messages send SOAP messages over HTTP or HTTPS to a designated channel when they are triggered by a workflow rule. Workflow rules are used to schedule and execute workflow actions when records meet specified criteria.

For more information, see Configuring Outbound Messaging and Workflow Rules in Salesforce.

To create an iWay event, you must create a port and a channel using iWay Explorer. The following is a description of how ports and channels work.
