Integrating Symphona with Oracle Sales Cloud

Welcome to the guide designed to help small and midsize business owners integrate Symphona's powerful business process automation (BPA) capabilities with Oracle Sales Cloud. This step-by-step guide aims to simplify the integration process so that you can take full advantage of streamlined, automated workflows without needing specialized technical knowledge.

Step 1: Initiate Your Workflow in Symphona

First, sign in to your Symphona account. On your dashboard, locate and select the “New Process” button, typically found in the upper-right area. Clicking on this will allow you to create a new workflow that will interact with Oracle Sales Cloud.

Step 2: Naming and Editing Your Workflow

After you have created the workflow, proceed to give it a relevant name and a concise summary that describes its use. From the main dashboard, hover over your new process and click on “Edit Process.” This action takes you to the Process Editor where the workflow's steps can be built and arranged.

Step 3: Inserting Integration Steps

While in the Process Editor, look to the “Step Library” on the right-hand side of the screen. Find and expand the “Integration” category, then drag the “Invoke REST API (General)” component onto your workflow canvas between the “Start” and “Stop” indicators.

Step 4: Configuring Oracle Sales Cloud API Connections

Establishing API connections between Symphona and Oracle Sales Cloud requires specific information about endpoints and authentication:

Endpoint URL

• In Oracle Sales Cloud, the endpoint URL is your gateway to Oracle's API services. It's the web address that your API calls are sent to. You can find this URL in the Oracle Sales Cloud documentation or through your Oracle Sales Cloud interface, usually following a standard format like “https://<your-service>.sales.oraclecloud.com/<resource-path>”.

Authentication Credentials

• Secure communication with Oracle Sales Cloud's API is established using OAuth 2.0 or basic HTTP authentication, depending on the Oracle service. Obtain your credentials by registering your application in the Oracle Cloud portal, which provides a client ID and secret for OAuth, or a username and password combination for basic authentication.
• Always handle these credentials with utmost security to prevent unauthorized access.

You'll need to input these details into each API call step in Symphona's Process Editor. Choose the correct HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) that corresponds to the operation you wish to perform, like retrieving or updating data in Oracle Sales Cloud, and include the provided endpoint URL and authentication details.

Step 5: Testing and Activating Your Automated Workflow

Test your new integration thoroughly in a controlled environment to ensure everything functions correctly before deploying it into production. After a successful testing phase, and with confidence in the robustness of your automated workflow, you can proceed to activate it within Symphona.
