Explaining Open API
The strength of Salesforce lies in its seamless integration with a variety of tools and applications.
Utilising OpenAPI can significantly simplify this process. But what exactly does this mean?
Think of OpenAPI as a standardised recipe for APIs. Similar to how a recipe guides you in preparing a dish, OpenAPI provides clear instructions on how to structure and implement an API.
It is a specification that ensures APIs adhere to consistent rules and documentation standards, serving as a blueprint.
This ensures that developers can easily understand, implement, and integrate their software with a specific service, platform, or system. Using OpenAPI to establish connections is akin to following a recipe to create a 5 star meal!
It is essential to note that in order to create your own connections in Salesforce using Open API, you must have the Enterprise Salesforce license at minimum!
