Create a Configuration File for Slack and Salesforce

In your Explorer view, right-click the resources folder (src/main/resources) and select New File:

Name the file config.yaml.

Populate your file with your Salesforce, Gmail, and Slack configurations:

salesforce:
 username: "yourUserName"
 password: "yourPassword"
 token: "yourToken"

email:
 host: "smtp.gmail.com"
 username: "yourGmailEmail"
 password: "yourEmailAppPassword"

slack:
 token: "yourSlackToken"

Navigate to your new-case-salesforce.xml file, add a new line before the </mule> tag, type configuration and select mule:configurationProperties:

Scroll through the attributes and set the value of file to config.yaml:

<configuration-properties file="config.yaml" doc:name="Configuration properties" />

In your new-case-salesforce.xml file, create a new line after the <configuration-properties/> element, type salesforce, and select salesforce:sfdc-config:

Set the name field to Salesforce-Config.

Create a new line, type basic and select Salesforce:Basic:

Configure the username and password properties to use your configuration file values:

<salesforce:basic-connection username="${salesforce.username}" password="${salesforce.password}" securityToken="${salesforce.token}" />

Verify your connection to Salesforce by clicking Test Connection for the <salesforce:sfdc-config/> element:

Add a new flow on your canvas.

In the code editor, name the flow ​NewSalesforceCaseFlow:

<flow name="​NewSalesforceCaseFlow">

</flow>

On your canvas, click the (Add component) icon after Flow, type new object, and select On new object after Salesforce.

In the code editor, set the following values of the <salesforce:new-object-listener/> element:

In the <salesforce:new-object-listener/> element, replace <scheduling-strategy/> with the following snippet:

<scheduling-strategy >
  <fixed-frequency frequency="1000"/>
</scheduling-strategy>

Add a logger at the end of your flow:

Replace the logger component in the code editor with the following:

<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Log Case Object" message="{#payload}" />

Add a breakpoint to this line by clicking the red dot at the line number:

Select Run > Start Debugging (F5).

After your application deploys successfully, log in to your Salesforce account.

From App Launcher, select Service:

Select Cases > New Case:

Ensure that the Status of the new case is New.

Create a new case and save it.

In Anypoint Code Builder, your application stops at the logger. Inspect the payload in Variables:

Step over your Logger component.

Proceed to Extract Payload Information to Variables to learn how to extract your case information to a variable to use it later in the flow.
