Data Cloud + MuleSoft Integration

A little bird told me that deleting records in Data Cloud is not that easy to do. So, I researched and developed a Mule application for you all to reuse to (hopefully) make your lives easier.

In this first part, we'll go through the Salesforce/Data Cloud settings that we need to set up before even calling Data Cloud through the Mule app.

Part 2: Deploy your own Mule app on Anypoint Platform (CloudHub)

In this second part, we'll go through the MuleSoft side of the integration and you'll deploy your own Mule app to CloudHub. You do not have to know MuleSoft beforehand. I will guide you through every step.

Part 3: Call your integration with Postman

In this third part, we'll learn how to use our integration. We'll use Postman for this article, but you can use any other REST client like Thunder Client, cURL, or Advanced REST Client.

Part 4: Secure your API with Basic Authentication in API Manager

In Part 2 of this series, we learned that we should not share the CloudHub URL because everyone had access to our Data Cloud credentials with just the link.

There is a simple solution to this problem. In this post, we'll learn how to connect our Mule app (deployed in CloudHub) to API Manager to add basic authentication. This way, even if you share your URL by mistake, people would still need your username/password to access it.
