Chapter 3. Implement a Twitter to Salesforce sample integration
This sample integration watches Twitter for tweets that mention a particular Twitter user. When the integration finds such tweets, it filters them so that only those tweets that contain the text you specify cause the integration to continue.
For tweets that contain the specified text, the integration passes data related to the tweet, including the Twitter user name, to Salesforce and Salesforce creates a new contact.
Prerequisites
-
You need a Twitter developer account. If you do not already have one, go to https://apps.twitter.com, sign in to Twitter, and click Apply for a developer account. Obtaining the developer account is quick when you provide a professional email address, such as
me@redhat.com
rather than a personal address such asyou@gmail.com
. - You need an account in a Salesforce installation that is used for development. This account must have Salesforce API access, which is available in a Salesforce Enterprise account or a Salesforce Developer account. To obtain a free developer account, visit https://developer.salesforce.com/signup. It takes less than two minutes to obtain a Salesforce account.
- You must be logged in to your Fuse Online environment. If you are not already logged in, see What to expect the first time you use Fuse Online.
To implement, deploy, and test this sample integration, the main steps are:
- Section 3.1, “Register Fuse Online as a Twitter client application”
- Section 3.2, “Create a Twitter connection”
- Section 3.3, “Register Fuse Online as a Salesforce client application”
- Section 3.4, “Create a Salesforce connection”
- Section 3.5, “Create and deploy Twitter to Salesforce sample integration”
- Section 3.6, “Confirm that the Twitter to Salesforce integration works”
- Section 3.7, “Clean up your integration”
3.1. Register Fuse Online as a Twitter client application
In an integration, to connect to Twitter, the first thing you must do is register your Fuse Online environment as a client application that can access Twitter. This lets you create any number of integrations that connect to Twitter. In other words, you need to register a particular Fuse Online environment with Twitter only once.
In each Fuse Online environment, there can be only one registration of Fuse Online as a Twitter client application. However, while each Twitter connection uses the same registration, it can use different user credentials.
Prerequisite

Twitter to Salesforce Sample Integration
. In the upper right corner, click Publish.
Fuse Online displays the integration summary page with a progress indicator that shows the publishing stages. Fuse Online is generating the runtime for the integration and will start it when the runtime is ready. This takes a few minutes.
A Fuse Online account is limited to a specific number of integrations that can be running at one time. For details, see the pricing plan. If you are already running the maximum number of integrations, then you must stop an integration before you can start running another one.
If you are using a Fuse Online evaluation account, then only one integration at a time can be running. If you already created one of the other sample integrations and that integration is running then this integration is automatically in the Stopped state. You must stop the running integration and then you can then publish this integration.
If you are already running the maximum number of integrations, follow these steps to stop an integration:
- In the left panel, click Integrations.
-
In the entry for the integration that you want to stop, click

- Mentions your Twitter handle
Does not contain the text you specified in the basic filter step
For example:
@Aslan #likesRedHat.
- Wait for the polling interval to elapse, which can be 30 - 60 seconds.
- In Salesforce, confirm that there is not a new contact record for the name that is associated with the Twitter account that you used to tweet.
Confirm that the integration creates a new contact record when it should:
In Twitter, send a tweet that:
- Mentions your Twitter handle
Contains the text that you specified in the basic filter step
For example:
@Aslan knows #RedHatIsGreat.
- Wait for the polling interval to elapse.
In Salesforce, do the following:
- Log in to your regular Salesforce account, not your Salesforce developer account.
- On your home page, under Recent Items you should see your new contact.
Click on it to view the details.
The new contact record should have the name that is associated with the Twitter account that you used to tweet. The text of your tweet should be in the Description field, and your Twitter screen name should be in the Title field.
