Salesforce webhooks are at the heart of modern, two-way integrations between Salesforce and external systems. Instead of simple one-way data syncs, your org can now have real-time conversations: external services notify Salesforce instantly, and Salesforce can call back out to complete the loop. Inbound: External apps send events into Salesforce...
Salesforce provides two powerful ways to move events in and out of the Event Bus — the modern Pub/Sub API and the Streaming API family (CometD/EMP).

Salesforce offers two major ways to stream events across systems — Platform Events (PE) and Change Data Capture (CDC).Both use the Salesforce Event Bus with replay support, but they exist for different reasons. In short: Platform Events are custom, intentional messages you define to represent business actions or commands. Change...
In event-driven Salesforce architectures, messages often outlive the code that processes them. That’s why it’s critical to evolve schemas safely, trace events end-to-end, and handle duplicates without causing side effects. This guide walks you through practical approaches for versioned Platform Events, correlation/causation IDs, and idempotent consumers with deduplication, including compact...
