Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector 4.1 Examples

The following examples show several Mule flows for Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector:

Before You Begin

  • Java 8, 11, or 17

  • Anypoint Studio 7.5 and later

  • Mule runtime engine (Mule) 4.3.0 and later

  • DataWeave

  • OAuth credentials for Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Configure a Connection

To secure connections, you must specify the connection field values. To do this:

Create a Configuration File for a Connection

Create a configuration file that includes properties for a connection:

  1. Create a file named mule-app.properties in the /src/main/resources/ folder.

  2. In the mule-app.properties file, create a set of properties for the connection, similar to the ones that follow, replacing the bracketed text (including the brackets) with the correct values for your configuration:

    config-with-oauth.clientId=<clientId used to initialize the connection>
config-with-oauth.clientSecret=<clientSecret used to authenticate the user>
config-with-oauth.soapEndpoint=<SOAP endpoint address>
config-with-oauth.authEndpoint=<Authentication endpoint>

    This may vary depending on the selected connection configuration.

For more information about creating a properties file, refer to Configuring Property Placeholders.

Configure the Connection Global Elements

Configure global elements for connection:

  1. Create a new Mule project.

  2. In the Mule Palette view, click Search in Exchange and enter Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

  3. Add Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector to the Selected modules section and click Finish.

  4. Click the Global Elements tab and click Create.

  5. Select Connector Configuration > Salesforce Marketing Cloud and click OK.

  6. Enter the values to configure either Basic Authentication or OAuth Client Credentials.

  7. Click the Test Connection button to ensure there is connectivity with the Salesforce Marketing Cloud API. A successful message should pop up.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Open the HTTPS Listener config in Global Element Configuration.

  10. Click the TLS tab and select TLS Configuration > Edit inline.

  11. Specify the Key Store Configuration with the generated keystore details to enable HTTPS on this configuration.

  12. Click OK.

Configure a Global Element for the Properties File

Configure a global element for the mule-app.properties file so that Mule knows where to find it:

  1. Click the Global Elements tab and click Create.

  2. In the Choose Global Type dialog, select Configuration properties and click OK.

  3. In the File field, enter mule.app.properties.

  4. Click OK.

Create a List

This Mule flow creates a list for storing subscribers.

The default value for the List type is Public, which makes the list visible to all subscribers. After creating the list, note the list ID to use it in other operations.

This example uses the following operations:

  • HTTP Listener
    Accepts data from HTTP requests

  • Logger
    Shows the HTTP response from HTTP Listener

  • Transform Message
    Outputs the data in Java

    %dw 2.0
output application/java
---
[{

	ListClassification: payload.listClassification,
	ListName: payload.listName,
	"Type": payload.listType
}]

  • Create entities
    Creates new objects on the Salesforce Marketing Cloud API web server

    Enter the following values:

    Field Value

    Object type

    List

    Connector Configuration

    Salesforce_Marketing_Cloud_Sfdc_marketing_cloud_config

    Api objects

    payload

  • Transform Message
    Outputs the data in JSON

    output application/json
---
payload
