Introduction

collective.salesforce.content provides a Dexterity behavior for setting up Plone Dexterity content types that are connected to objects in a Salesforce.com database. Arbitrary schema fields can be mapped and updated periodically based on automatic queries to Salesforce.

This is currently an integrator-level package with minimal UI. As consultants, we have used this functionality as a foundation for solving use cases like:

• Expose a member directory on a public Plone website based on Account or Contact records pulled from Salesforce.com each night.
• Provide browseable and searchable tables of arbitrary data whose canonical storage is in Salesforce.com.
• In conjunction with dexterity.membrane, allow users represented in Salesforce.com to log in to a Plone site, with appropriate roles based on their status in Salesforce.com.
• Pull pricing records from Salesforce as a basis for charging the correct amount in online transactions on the Plone website.
