Salesforce CRM Integration
Overview
Beginning in Oracle CPQ 23D, the Salesforce CRM integration type is added to the Oracle CPQ Integration Center. This integration streamlines the setup and management of the connection(s) between Oracle CPQ and Salesforce. This new interface allows administrators to directly configure the details of the Salesforce integration without the assistance of customer support. Beginning in Oracle CPQ 23D, the User Integration page provides a complete list of all enabled Salesforce organizations and the user login. New and existing Salesforce CRM integrations will use these properties when making Web Service calls to Salesforce.
The Salesforce CRM Integration includes support for Salesforce certificates. A Salesforce certificate ensures that communications claiming to originate from your organization are actually from your organization. Once the certificate is applied to the Oracle CPQ site, inbound communications from the Salesforce integration can be verified. This feature allows administrators to view certificate-related details and upload/download certificates without the assistance of customer support.
The Salesforce CRM integration in the Integration Center supports three states, as follows:
-
No CRM Integration setup – Oracle CPQ to Salesforce integration is not set up and does not yet exist.
-
Enable Integration checkbox Not Selected – The administrator has started to set up the Salesforce CRM integration but the integration connection is not active. In this state, no calls to Salesforce can be made. This includes calls for buy-side integrations, use token generation, administrative testing, and part synchronization.
-
Enable Integration checkbox Selected/Integration Fully Active – The administrator has set up the Salesforce CRM integration and the integration connection is active between the two applications. When active, the integration exists and the administrator can entirely configure CRM integrations, also the user-side will execute those integrations.

NOTES
Notes:
-
Oracle CPQ is not certified to support Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and Salesforce CRM Integration simultaneously.
-
For existing Salesforce integrations upon upgrade to Update 23D, the Name and Variable Name are automatically populated for the existing integration.
-
A new Revoke Tokens button is added to the Salesforce CRM Integration page. This button allows administrators to revoke all authentication tokens associated with the Salesforce CRM integration. The feature is beneficial when migrating from one Salesforce organization to another. In this case, the administrator can revoke all the tokens from the existing Salesforce organization before switching users to the new one.
-
Each Salesforce CRM integration can have its own certification or if integrating with the same CPQ site, Salesforce integrations can use the same certificate. The shared certificate will need to be uploaded from its connection integration page multiple times (once for each shared connection).
