Two Ways: How to Connect Salesforce to SQL Databases

Today’s Salesforce users have more options than ever when integrating customer data with eCommerce, accounting, customer service, and marketing SaaS apps.

Companies quickly see the advantage as they reduce duplicate entries, helping to optimize the order-to-cash cycle. They can also gain that 360-degree view of customers, putting them heads and shoulders above the competition.

Even with all these options, data ops still hit Salesforce data workflow limitations due to inflexible integration templates and untracked changes to Salesforce metadata. This is especially true when working with SQL and NoSQL databases.

The challenges of cloud-to-SQL or other on-premise connections can have a company looking to DevOps and APIs for their integration solution.

A third option is to leverage commercially available Salesforce data replication apps.

These apps can keep your customer experience, operational, and/or ERP systems up-to-date without having to pull on your DevOps resources or APIS.

The benefits of many data workflow solutions are they are no code and templated solutions.

This empowers users to create data workflows with little to no coding knowledge quickly. The downside is the templated workflows usually are limited to the objects and fields included in those templates by the app provider.

Have custom objects or fields? Some Salesforce integration data workflow apps will allow you to create your own template.

So the problem is solved. Right?

Not necessarily. Even if you are diligent in keeping your templates up to date, that doesn’t mean your SQL database is up-to-date.

You will need to understand how to keep your SQL database synced to include any changes to your structure/metadata.
