Note:

  1. The following sections make use of Webhooks.

In order to use Webhooks, you should ensure that you have granted API access to SharinPix on your organization. To verify this, go to the SharinPix Settings tab and check if the second row, that is, Sharinpix - > Salesforce full API access, is highlighted in green.

In case the row, Sharinpix - > Salesforce full API access is still highlighted in red, simply click on the Grant button to grant API access.

For more detailed information on how to grant API access, please refer the the following article:

Webhook in action

The objective of this section is to show how to detect the New Image event and call an Apex Method found on the SharinPix Package. The New Image event is triggered when a new image is added to a SharinPix Album. After detecting this event, the newImage method from the ImageSyncMigration class will be called and therefore perform a resync on the newly-added image.

  • The Webhook is configured as shown in the screenshot below where the method to be executed and the event that triggers this execution, are specified.

  • In this context, the related list of SharinPix Images and the SharinPix Album is present on the page-layout and page of the Account Object respectively.

  • A new image is added to the SharinPix Album as shown below.

  • Once the image has been uploaded, you need to refresh the current page. A new entry in the SharinPix Images related list has been added as shown in the image below.
