This project contains activities for accessing an organization's data via the Salesforce REST API. Click here for more information on the resources and requests available via the Salesforce REST API.
The target Salesforce instance must include the requesting origin of the application running the workflow in its Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Allowlist. For example: https://acme.apps.vertigisstudio.com. Learn more.
A connected app and an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow must be configured in Salesforce to facilitate the sign in to Salesforce from the application running the workflow. Learn more.
This activity pack requires that you host a HTML page on a web server you control that uses postMessage to provide the OAuth callback result URL back to the browser window running the workflow. For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
<title>OAuth2 Callback</title>
<script>
window.opener.postMessage(location.href, "*");
setTimeout(() => window.close(), 500);
</script>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Note: It is important to change the target origin from "*" to the actual origin of the application running the workflow. For example: https://acme.apps.vertigisstudio.com.
These activities are designed to work with VertiGIS Studio Workflow versions 5.36.0 and above.
To use these activities in VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer you need to register an activity pack and then add the activities to a workflow.

This project was bootstrapped with the VertiGIS Studio Workflow SDK. Before you can use your activity pack in the VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer, you will need to register the activity pack.
Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Interactively generate a new activity or form element.
Runs the project in development mode. Your activity pack will be available at http://localhost:5000/main.js. The HTTPS certificate of the development server is a self-signed certificate that web browsers will warn about. To work around this open https://localhost:5000/main.js in a web browser and allow the invalid certificate as an exception. For creating a locally-trusted HTTPS certificate see the Configuring a HTTPS Certificate section on the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center.
Builds the activity pack for production to the build folder. It optimizes the build for the best performance.
Your custom activity pack is now ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment in the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center for more information.
