Salesforce Snippet

This snippet can be used by copy-pasting to the neqto.js script.

NEQTO Bridge	SPRESENSE
v00.00.30+	v01.00.00+

This snippet provides a function to send IoT data to Salesforce.

Details

The send_salesforce function can be used to POST the passed object 'payload' to the specified 'object' on Salesforce using the Session ID, over HTTPS. The Session ID can be retrieved by the getSessionId function using the user credentials. The result (error/response) is then passed to the callback function.

To start using this snippet, USERNAME (Salesforce username), PASSWORD (Salesforce password), REST_VERSION (Salesforce REST API version), SOAP_VERSION (Salesforce SOAP API version), and CA are required to be configured by the user.

NOTE: The provided function only allows payloads up to size of 4KB. For bigger sized payloads, please refer to the sample for divided writing in neqto.js docs for NEQTO Bridge and Sony Spresense.

The following CA can be used (as of 2020-07-30),

/* DigiCert Global Root CA - 083be056904246b1a1756ac95991c74a */

Function Usage Example

The following example script uses the send_salesforce function to continuously send data to Salesforce at regular intervals, and re-fetches the Session ID using the getSessionID function when it expires.
