insightful thanks ! From what I understand it is best used when you only need to view the data from another system/org trough your salesforce UI. Else for manipulation you would actually need that data to sit in your current salesforce org and therefore create an api

[@meeranair1539]

Yes, better suitable for read-only approach if you consider the limits mentioned towards the end of the session. But you can still update data in the external system through this approach if we enable writable setting while setting up data source.

[@karthik3842]

[@arohitu]

Can someone share how I would use apex to insert a record in an external system by insering into External object. I should get the id of the record that got inserted into external object as well.

[@meeranair1539]

You can programmatically insert record to external object by using below sample code.
Account__x acc= new Account__x(name__c='My Test Account');
Database.SaveResult sr = Database.insertAsync (acc);
Also, the record id will be available in the ExternalId field on the external object.

[@apexhours]

Sample code is provided by meera nair

[@mythiligaming]

How can we give password appended with security token?

[@erwaqar]

you can get the security token click on the top right corner setting and setup in quick find search security token then reset and salesforce will mail you the security token thanks .

[@saimanojaki1995]

In consedrations slide mentioned valdation rules not supported
But during giving demo valdation rule have been afected
Kindly please let me know valdation rules and triggers are supported

[@meeranair1539]

Both are not supported at this moment. In the demo the fired validation rule was from external system directly. You cannot create a validation rule on an external object

[@ragulhm]

I don't want to fetch millions of records from my external system,
can i get a single record alone by ID ?

[@mohitk4683]

you cant do it through SF Connect. U can achieve by exposing class as REST service in org & fetch using Connected App setup

[@pankajgoel2691]

what is the diiference between integration using salesforce connect and connected app?

[@apexhours]

We will create one blog post or video on same

[@yamatoanshu]
