The document discusses how to connect MuleSoft applications to Salesforce using the Mule Anypoint Salesforce Connector. It explains that the connector allows establishing a connection to Salesforce using SOAP web services and supports performing operations via the Salesforce API. It lists prerequisites of having a Salesforce account and credentials and discusses configuring connection pooling and reconnection strategies for the connector. It provides steps for creating a Mule project and flow, configuring the global Salesforce connector element, and using an HTTP outbound endpoint along with the connector to pass input to create a Salesforce Account.

2. Overview
- MuleSoft provides the most widely used integration platform to
connect any application, data service or API, across the cloud and
on-premise continuum.
- The Salesforce connector establishes connection to Salesforce
system using SOAP web service (provided by Salesforce). Almost
every operation that can be done via the Salesforce's API can be
done thru this connector. This connector will also work if your
Salesforce objects are customized with additional fields or even
you are working with custom objects. The connector supports the
option to configure Salesforce connection details, connection
pooling and max limit of active connections.

ConnectorConfiguration: This element must be placed
outside of your flows and at the root of your
Mule application. You can create as many
configurations as you deem necessary as long
as each carries its own name.
Connection Pool : Salesforce connector offers
automatic connection management via the
use of a connection pool. The pool will act a
storage mechanism for all the connections
that are in-use by the user of this connector.
Reconnection Strategies : Reconnection
Strategies specify how a connector behaves
when its connection fails. You can control
how Mule attempts to reconnect by specifying
a number of criteria

5. Mule flow
 Steps to be followed for integrating ‘Salesforce' with MuleSoft Applications:
 Create a new Anypoint Studio Project and Flow.
 Before using the Salesforce Connector in the Mule Flows, create a global element
for Salesforce configuration which can be reused in all other flows across the Mule
project - wherever the objects are created & deleted to & from Salesforce cloud
server.

6. Mule Flow (cont.)
 Configure the Salesforce connector by providing the following
information for the global element
 User Name
 Password
 Security Token
 Use HTTP outbound endpoint to pass the input details to the
Salesforce connector
 Configure the Salesforce endpoint by providing the following to
create the Account under Salesforce
 link to the ‘global Connector Configuration’
 Operation
