Salesforce

Salesforce expertise for a PHP developer typically involves integrating custom PHP applications with the Salesforce CRM platform. These roles focus on building seamless connections that allow data to flow between a company's web services and its customer relationship management system. This ensures data consistency and automates business processes across different platforms.

Connecting PHP Applications with Salesforce

Developers in these roles use the extensive Salesforce API ecosystem to create, read, update, and delete data programmatically. Common tasks include syncing customer data from a PHP-based website to Salesforce Leads or Contacts, creating custom user interfaces that pull data from Salesforce, or triggering actions in a PHP application based on events within Salesforce.
