Hello Trailblazers,  In this blog we are going to focus on OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Flow for Server-to-Server Integration. JWT Bearer Flow is used for server to server communication and to avoid logging in each time.  JWT Bearer Token is something that you provide to some other service to let that service authenticate you. This flow uses a certificate to sign the JWT request and doesn’t require explicit user interaction. However, this flow does require prior approval of the client app. Which means you need to allow access first for the connected app by using some third-party authorization app. So, we can consider JWT as a key which gives us access to various things. Pre-requisites for JWT(JSON Web Token) Bearer Flow X509 certificate Connected App X509 certificate  Since we will be signing JWT using RSA SHA256, we need certificate as a secret for signing data. You can download certificate from Salesforce or you can use openssl for ge...

Hello Trailblazers,   Today we will discuss about another no/low code feature of Salesforce – External Services. Whenever delivering an application if you can provide 360-degree view of products or services on a single platform then it becomes important factor which can affect customer satisfaction in positive way.

Hello Trailblazers, In this blog we are going discuss about HTTP callouts from Client-side controller in LWC. In Aura components we have Apex controller with AuraEnabled method which have code for HTTP callout in it. We call this Apex method on execution of some action and then send the response back to Aura component for processing. But with Lightning Web Components we can easily make callout from Javascript itself using fetch method. If you are not familiar with fetch method then please checkout this link . fetch method primarily takes 2 parameters as input which are endpoint and information about request which includes method type, header information , body of the request all in JSON format. fetch(endpont, { REQUEST_INFO}).then((response => response.json())).then((responseData) => {PROCESS_responseData_HERE}); Let’s start with the implementation. I am going to use Data Faker Heroku app for demonstration. In this example I will be focusing on getting data from third party so ...
