Integrating with SalesForce

Display a Platform Element in a SalesForce Tab

Platform elements all have Short URLs. Those URLs, accessed using the "figure-8" icon CopyShortURL.png at the top of the page, can then be displayed within a SalesForce tab.

Some elements you might want to display include:

  • Dashboards
  • Reports
  • Custom Pages
Requirements
Setup

To add a platform element to a SalesForce tab:

  1. In SalesForce, go to Setup
  2. Open the Create section, and got to "Tabs".
  3. In the Web Tab section of that page, add or edit a tab.
  4. Go to the last part of that process (Step 3), where you specify a URL.
  5. Copy the following URL:
    https://na.longjump.com/networking/federatedLogin?sessionid={!API.Session_ID}&serverurl={!API.Partner_Server_URL_240}&cid=__Your Tenant ID__&done=__URL of Platform Page to Display__
  6. Substitute the values you obtained in the Setup steps (tenant ID and the URL of the page you want to display) for __Your Tenant ID__ and __URL of Platform Page to Display__
Example
https://na.longjump.com/networking/federatedLogin?sessionid={!API.Session_ID}&serverurl={!API.Partner_Server_URL_240}&cid=1234567&done=https://na.longjump.com/networking/dashboard/c116c1c410e94ad581849a4af4983de6
Note
{!API.Session_ID} and !API.Partner_Server_URL_240 are SalesForce variables. Values are substituted for them when SalesForce executes the URL
