If you are running eCommerce website then you always fear to lose your customer accounts one solution is to keep the backup on daily basis but it comes very headache to keep lots of backups also need lots of space. Another solution is Magento 2 customers Salesforce integration.There are two ways for Magento Salesforce Integration for customers. One is to do is manually or another is to do it automatically (Using crone on specific events). We have described the automatically approach to synchronize Magento2 Salesforce Integration for customers.
Magento Salesforce Integration for Customers
Following are the steps to Magento2 Salesforce Integration for customers based upon Magneto 2 customers creation or update
Step 1: Entering Observer event in the XML
This is the important part to handle the event into Magento 2. Go to your module ->etc->frontend and verify that the XML file named as the event.xml exists or not if exist then create. Open event.xml and do the following code inside this
............
............
<event name="customer_save_after">
<observer name="customer_save_after" instance="PackageModule NameObserverCustomerUpdateObserver" />
</event>
............
............
Step 2: Creating Observer
Now we have to create the observer file to perform Magento2 Salesforce Integration operations according to our need. In my case my observer name is CustomerUpdateObserver.php . To create the file go to path project/app/code/package/module/Observer/ and create you observer here with following code.
add your needed helper files inside the constructor
........
......
public function __construct(
MagentoFrameworkObjectManagerInterface $objectManager, //to performs some operations
IpragmatechMsintegrationHelperAccountData $helper //we have written our functions inside this helper
) {
$this->_objectManager = $objectManager;
$this->_helper = $helper;
}
Add the following line of code inside the execute function of observer
try {
$customer = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();
$salesforceId = $this->_helper->getClientSfId($customer->getId());
if (empty($salesforceId)) {
$id = $this->_helper->createAccount($customer);
if (!empty($observer->getCustomerAddress())) {
$this->_helper->updateAddress($observer->getCustomerAddress(), $id);
}
} else {
$this->_helper->updateAccount($salesforceId, $customer);
if (!empty($observer->getCustomerAddress())) {
$this->_helper->updateAddress($observer->getCustomerAddress(), $id);
}
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
// do what ever you wanna perform based on your exception log or some operation
}
Step 3: Create Helper file
Go to helper folder create a folder named Account and inside folder create a file named Data.php. Inside the file, we need to write our functions for creating a customer account, updating customer, and updating customer address.
- Creating customer account on the Salesforce
public function createAccount($customer) { $name = $customer->getFirstname() . " " . $customer->getLastname(); $email = $customer->getEmail(); $lastUrl = "sobjects/Account/"; $params = array( array( "Name" => $name, ) ); $acountResult = $this->_helper->postAction($params, $lastUrl); $response = $acountResult ['response']; $status = $acountResult ['status']; $id = $response["id"]; $mappingArray = [ 'customer_id' => $customer->getId(), 'customer_salesforce_id' => $id, ]; try { $model = $this->_objectManager->create('IpragmatechMsintegrationModelCustomermapping'); $model->setData($mappingArray); $model->save(); } catch (Exception $e) { // put your own code } return $id; } - Updating customer account on Salesforce
public function updateAccount($salesforceId, $customer) { $name = $customer->getFirstname() . " " . $customer->getLastname(); $email = $customer->getEmail(); $lastUrl = "sobjects/Account/$salesforceId"; $params = array("Name" => $name); $updateAccount = $this->_helper->updateAction($params, $lastUrl); $status = $updateAccount ['status']; if ($status != 204) {// failed with status } return true; } - Updating customer address on the Salesforce
public function updateAddress($addressObject, $salesforceId) { $name = $addressObject->getFirstname() . " " . $addressObject->getLastname(); $streets = $addressObject->getStreet(); $country = $addressObject->getCountry(); $city = $addressObject->getCity(); $postCode = $addressObject->getPostCode(); $company = $addressObject->getCompany(); $state = $addressObject->getState(); $telephone = $addressObject->getTelePhone(); $strt = ""; foreach ($streets as $street) { $strt .= "," . $street; } $lastUrl = "sobjects/Account/$salesforceId"; $params = array( array( "Name" => $name, "BillingCity" => $city, "BillingStreet" => $strt, "BillingState" => $state, "BillingPostalCode" => $postCode, "BillingCountry" => $country, "ShippingCity" => $city, "ShippingStreet" => $strt, "ShippingState" => $state, "ShippingPostalCode" => $postCode, "ShippingCountry" => $country, "Phone" => $telephone ) ); try { $updateAddress = $this->_helper->updateAction($params, $lastUrl); $status = $updateAddress ['status']; if ($status != 204) { //your own message call has been failed return true; } catch (Exception $e) { //handle exception accordingly } }
