Salesforce Cloud
Expertise in a specific Salesforce Cloud, such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Experience Cloud, is critical for PHP developers tasked with building targeted integrations. Unlike general Salesforce knowledge, this specialization involves a deep understanding of the unique data objects, business processes, and APIs associated with a particular cloud product.
PHP Integration with Specific Clouds
A PHP developer working with Sales Cloud might build an integration to sync leads, accounts, and opportunities from an external source. In contrast, a project involving Service Cloud would likely focus on managing cases, entitlements, and knowledge bases via the API. The role requires writing PHP code that interacts with the specific data model of the target cloud to extend its functionality or connect it with other business systems.
Essential Technical Skills
- Proficiency with the APIs specific to Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or another targeted cloud.
- Experience mapping PHP application data to standard and custom Salesforce objects (e.g.,
Lead,Case,Opportunity). - Understanding the business logic and workflows inherent to each Salesforce Cloud product.
- Using PHP to build custom user experiences that leverage cloud data.
