How to integrate Salesforce Platform Event using MuleSoft Anypoint Studio?

Dear #Muleys,

In this blog post, we are going to discuss how to use Platform Event to integrate Salesforce using MuleSoft.

Prerequisite

1. Salesforce Account
2. MuleSoft AnyPoint Studio Installed into Local PC

Step1 – Setup Platform Event

The very first step is to set up the Platform Event inside our Salesforce Org. To do that navigate to Setup -> Integrations -> Platform Event and then Click on New

Check the below Image for the complete Platform Event

Step2 – Create MuleSoft Project

Create a MuleSoft project and drag & drop Subscribe Channel Listener component related to Salesforce

Configure the Connection for salesforce and then

open the properties and provide the Platform event that you have created under Streaming Channel

Here is the Structure that a Platform Event will send to MuleSoft From Salesfore

Below is the Response body which will be contained by payload.data.payload

{
  "Name__c": "Test Account",
  "Annual_Revenue__c": 9034.0,
  "CreatedById": "0050o00000XaBL9AAN",
  "Description__c": "Test Description",
  "CreatedDate": "2021-03-19T11:28:21.049Z",
  "Phone__c": "9087654321",
  "Id__c": "0010o00002jEAV4AAO",
  "Active__c": false
}

Now drag & drop the Logger component and log the payload to see the result.

Step3 – Run MuleSoft Project

Now, Right Click on the Canvas and then click on Run Project “Project Name” wait till the Project is up and running.

Step4 – Publish the Platform Event using Apex

Now, as we have done the Platform Event setup and MuleSoft Project it’s time to publish the Event. Use the below code to publish the Event.

PAccount__e event = new PAccount__e (
    Name__c ='Test Account',
    Id__c ='0010o00002jEAV4AAO',
    Annual_Revenue__c  = 9034,
    Description__c  = 'Test Description',
    Phone__c = '9087654321'
);
Eventbus.publish(event);

Go back to your MuleSoft Console and you will see the output like this

{
  data={
  schema=Pi-cIAgMf-j1hFCDNLJ7-g, 
  payload={
    Name__c=Test Account, 
    Annual_Revenue__c=9034.0, 
    CreatedById=0050o00000XaBL9AAN, 
    Description__c=Test Description, 
    CreatedDate=2021-03-19T11:46:39.136Z, 
    Phone__c=9087654321, 
    Id__c=0010o00002jEAV4AAO, 
    Active__c=false
  }, 
  event={
    replayId=3766742
  }
}, '
channel=/event/PAccount__e
  
}
