Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics Integration Using MuleSoft ESB
Customer Relationship Management plays a significant role in the growth of a business. A data environment which is integrated can streamline the method, improve performance and drive sales. However, integration of CRM systems with an existing application (e.g., Salesforce and E-Commerce Platform, ServiceNow) and with many others in an emerging application network is a challenge. Despite knowing where to start, it would be a very difficult task to integrate your CRM system with core systems.
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an ideal architecture for organizations that wish to integrate core on-premise applications with a CRM system. By using ESB you will get clear visibility into your integration, it will enable you to see if any issues occur and what kind of data is exchanged.
Anypoint Platform brings the world’s most used platform of integration for connecting applications, Mule as an ESB. Mule as an ESB can streamline and reveal the value of present on-premises systems and applications.
Mule as an ESB will make the business process efficient and allow you to communicate between Microsoft Dynamics and several other applications and services.

Above is the flow of Salesforce and MS Dynamics integration which will be triggered by an HTTP call, this can be initiated either manually or programmatically. Contacts are sorted in a way that contacts of salesforce would appear first then contacts from MS Dynamics and finally contacts which are found in both systems. For accessing and transforming data Transform Message component uses DataWeave 2.0, MuleSoft 4 expression language.
