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.

wherever the objects are created & deleted to & from Salesforce cloud server.
