Connect to any data anywhere for a complete
view of your business.
Use the Apex Connector Framework to develop a custom adapter for Lightning Connect.
Your users and the Force.com platform interact
with the external data via external objects.
For each of those interactions,
Lightning Connect invokes methods in the Apex classes that
compose the custom adapter.
Salesforce invokes the
custom adapter’s Apex code
when:
- A user clicks an external object tab for a list view.
- A user views a record detail page of an external object.
- A user views a record detail page of a parent object that displays a related
list of child external object records.
- A user performs a global search in Salesforce or Salesforce1.
- An external object is queried via flows, APIs, Apex, SOQL, or SOSL.
- A user creates, edits, or deletes an external object record. (This does not
apply to the Salesforceadapter.)
