Extend the Reach of Your Organization

Sometimes your users need to work with data and services that are outside your Salesforce org. There’s a variety of ways you can provide seamless access across org boundaries.

• Provide Actions, Buttons, and Links
  Buttons and links let users interact with Salesforce data and with external websites and services, such as search engines and online maps. Salesforce includes several standard buttons and links. You can also create custom ones. Actions let users do tasks, such as create records in the Chatter publisher and in the Salesforce app.
• Manage Your MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Connections
  Enable cross-platform features between Salesforce and Anypoint Platform by establishing a tenant relationship.
• API Catalog for Salesforce
  Bring your APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into API Catalog for Salesforce. Your catalog is a single place to view your APIs and MCP servers from different sources and make them available to use in Salesforce.
• External Services
  Connect your Salesforce org to an external API by using zero lines of code. Use declarative tools and OpenAPI specifications to describe the external API functionality, and External Services automatically creates invocable actions within Salesforce. Use External Services for outbound integrations from Salesforce by using low-code, process-based integrations or to turbocharge your Apex integrations. Call the invocable actions natively from Apex, or create a custom agent action, flow, or Einstein bot that interacts with the external API source.
• Access External Data With Salesforce Connect
  Salesforce Connect lets your users view, search, and modify data that’s stored outside your Salesforce org. Instead of copying the data into standard or custom objects, use external objects to access the data in real time via web service callouts.
• Work with External Data Sources
  An external data source specifies how to access an external system. Salesforce Connect uses external data sources to access data that's stored outside your Salesforce organization. Files Connect uses external data sources to access third-party content systems. External data sources have associated external objects, which your users and the Lightning platform use to interact with the external data and content.
• Connect Business Processes with Real-Time Events
  Publish and subscribe to platform events to connect business processes in Salesforce and external sources through the exchange of real-time event data. Also, use event relays to integrate platform events and change data capture events with Amazon EventBridge.
• Event Studio Overview
  Salesforce Eventing encompasses Platform Events and Change Data Capture. Event Studio allows you to track existing event publishing and consumption activity on your Salesforce Event Bus based on event publishers and event subscribers.
• Sync Data Between Salesforce and Heroku
  Heroku Connect lets you sync data between Salesforce and Heroku Postgres.
• Extend Salesforce to External Apps with Lightning Out 2.0
  Embed custom Lightning web components (LWC) into external, non-Salesforce apps by using Lightning Out 2.0, a special Salesforce app that you create and configure in Setup. Developers can embed the generated Lightning Out 2.0 app script into a page of your company’s external app. Lightning Out 2.0 uses session-based authentication that logs users into Salesforce without leaving the external app, so authenticated users can seamlessly interact with the embedded components as if they were in Salesforce.
