How to create a Picklist Mapping in MuleSoft Composer Flow for Salesforce

 Hi,

Using Picklist Mapping, you can map data from one application to the corresponding data needed by another application and then reuse those mappings in different flows in your organization. This enables you to connect two applications that have different values for similar fields and to align the values in those fields across applications. You can then determine how the possible values of an output field (data pill) map to the possible values of an input field.

For example, you can map a data pill from the Country field in a Salesforce record and provide the same values in the Country field of the NetSuite record.

COUNTRY (SALESFORCE)	COUNTRY (NETSUITE)
US	_unitedStates
CA	_canada
DE	_germany
AR	_argentina

When mapping source data fields:

• The source field must be a data pill with a fixed list of values.
• The target field must be an enumerated data type field.
• If any other unmapped value from the source system is found, the default mapping specifies the value in the target system . If you do not specify a default value, the original value from the source field is passed to the target field.
• The mapping is stored at the organization level and can be reused across flows.
• The mapping must have a unique name.
• Mappings are available to everyone in your organization.

To map source data fields to target fields:

1. From the Composer Flows tab, open a flow and click Edit.
2. In an action card, in a field that supports Pick from List, select Picklist Mapping from the drop-down menu.
   The Picklist Mapping window appears.
3. In the Picklist Source section, in the Source field, select the value from the drop-down list that you want to map to the value in the Target field, and then click Next.
4. In the Global Picklist Selection section, create a new picklist or choose an existing picklist.

Lets take an example to map Account object Billing Country to NetSuite Country. 

You can go through the following screenshots:

Configure the Running User and Batch Size for Your Platform Event Trigger

 Hi,

Here we are going to learn how to Configure the Running User and Batch Size for Your Platform Event Trigger.

By default, the trigger on Platform Event runs as the Automated Process system user with a batch size of 2,000 event messages. 

By configuring a platform event trigger using PlatformEventSubscriberConfig in Metadata API or Tooling API we can override the running user and batch size of a Platform Event Apex Trigger.

Benefits:

Configuring the user and batch size enables you to bypass some limitations that sometimes arise from using the defaults.

Eg:

Record system and OwnerId fields are populated as the specified user. 

And setting a batch size smaller than 2,000 can help avoid hitting Apex governor limits.

Run the code block as a specified user which is written under Platform Event Trigger.

How to Configure PlatformEventSubscriberConfig?

• Create a folder called "PlatformEventSubscriberConfigs"
• Create a file with the suffix .platformEventSubscriberConfig as shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<PlatformEventSubscriberConfig xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    <platformEventConsumer>AccountEventTrigger</platformEventConsumer>

    <batchSize>200</batchSize>

    <masterLabel>AccountEventTriggerConfig</masterLabel>

    <user>user@example.com</user>

    <isProtected>false</isProtected>

</PlatformEventSubscriberConfig>

Here 

AccountEventTrigger  is the name of the Platform Event Trigger

200  is batch size (Batch size 1 is not recommended)

AccountEventTriggerConfig is the name of the PlatformEventSubscriberConfig

Create package.xml as shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">   

     <types>

        <members>AccountTriggerEventConfig</members>

        <name>PlatformEventSubscriberConfig</name>        

    </types>

    <version>55.0</version>

</Package>

Once we create both as shown below then create any folder include the following and zip.

Now open Workbench then chooses the Deploy option and then select the zip.

Now click on Deploy then it will be successful.

How to get the current recordId in LWC quick action?

Hi,

To get the current recordId when we create a quick action with LWC  we have to use the below code snippet.

_recordId;
set recordId(recordId) {
    if (recordId !== this._recordId) {
        this._recordId = recordId;

Note:

LWC quick actions don’t pass in recordId in connectedCallback()

Generate JSON with Map in apex

 Hi ,

Here we are going to learn how to generate JSON with the help of Map in apex.

Let's take the following JSON and see how to generate the same with the help of Map in apex.

JSON:

{

    "lastname":"SF",

    "firstname":"Techbook",

    "account":{

        "name":"Salesforce Techbook",

        "address":{

            "shippingstreet":"test_street",

            "shippingcity":"test_city"

        }

    },

    "phone":"12454565",

    "mailingcity":"test_cont_City"    

}

Let's try to generate the above JSON with Map:

//Preparation of  outer JSON object

Map<String,Object> jsonGenMap = new Map<String,Object>();

jsonGenMap.put('lastname','SF');

jsonGenMap.put('firstname','Techbook');

jsonGenMap.put('phone','12454565');

jsonGenMap.put('mailingcity','test_cont_City');

//Preparation of "account" JSON object

Map<String,Object> jsonActMap = new Map<String,Object>();

jsonActMap.put('name','Salesforce Techbook');

Map<String,Object> jsonActAddressMap = new Map<String,Object>();

jsonActAddressMap.put('shippingstreet','test_street');

jsonActAddressMap.put('shippingcity','test_city');

jsonActMap.put('address',jsonActAddressMap);

jsonGenMap.put('account',jsonActMap);

//Generation of JSON from the above with the help of "serialize" method under "JSON" class.

string jsonstring = JSON.serialize(jsonGenMap);

System.debug(jsonstring);

JSON parsing with Map Sample for getting list of values

 Hi,

Here we are going to learn how to get the values from an array that has plain values instead of a list of JSON objects.

Let's take the example below.

Here we have "langaugeskills" array in the following JSON String with the values "English,Hindi, Telugu". To capture those values we have to follow the below approach.

String jsonStr = '{"LastName": "Balu","langaugeskills": ["English","Hindi","Telugu"]}';

Map<String,Object> jsonMap = (Map<String,Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(jsonStr);

System.debug('JSON :::'+jsonMap);

List<Object> langSkillsList = (List<Object>)jsonMap.get('langaugeskills');

System.debug('---->'+langSkillsList);

for(Object langStr:langSkillsList){

    System.debug((String)langStr);

}

output:

How to add a connected app to a second-generation(2GP) managed package.

1. Create a Connected App in Salesforce instance where we maintain namespace.
2. Create a first-generation managed package (1GP) and add the connected app. It’s fine if the connected app is the only component in the package. Always use the same namespace as the 2GP package for the 1GP package.
3. Take note of the version number of the connected app; this number is needed later.
4.  Upload the 1GP Package to create a package version.
5. Promote the 1GP version to the released state.
6. Promoting the 1GP version allows the connected app to be included in a second-generation managed package. We don’t need to install the 1GP version into an org.
7. Now in our source code navigate to folder "connectedApps" where we are trying to generate 2GP Package

create an XML file with <connectedAppName>.connectedApp-meta.xml 

and the body of the XML file should be as shown below.

<ConnectedApp xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    <developerName><namespace>__<connected_app_Name></developerName>

    <label>A Connected App</label>

    <version>1.0</version>

</ConnectedApp>

Now generate a 2GP package and promote. Then the connected app is automatically added to your 2GP Package.

The version specified in the source file is the version number of the connected app. Use decimal formatting when specifying the version number. The version number must match the version number of the connected app before it was added to the 1GP managed package.

Note:

When you add a connected app to a 1GP package and upload the package, the version number of the connected app is auto-incremented. For example, when version 1.0 of a connected app is added to a 1GP package, the package version increments the version number of the connected app from 1.0 to 2.0. When creating the source file for your 2GP package, specify the version number of the connected app before it was uploaded into a 1GP package, in this case, 1.0.
