I’m pretty new to SalesForce and their Apex language. I’ve been reading some documentation and tried the integration between Google and SalesForce.

I’m wondering is it possible to emulate an auth token from google to SalesForce?

I’m trying to read a google spreadsheet and then fill up a SalesForce object automatically. The user login will always be the same/universal for this spreadsheet, so I have the credentials required to login.
I am working off of the sample that requires a visualforce, and I’m wondering how would I automatically do the session id token that the google spreadsheet API requires.

Any ideas?

    The old-school, hard way would be to send a login() call to the API (available through SOAP messages). Salesforce API is well documented and plenty of examples are available (both in programming languages and for raw XML requests/responses).

    But I have no idea what possibilities you have from Google side, if it’s only JavaScript then you might not be able to send and retrieve AJAX-like calls to another domain…

    Recently another option emerged and that is REST API (no SOAP needed). Looks more promising and easier in my opinion. Quick intro is available here and you’ll find more documentation on the bottom of the page.

    Last but not least – 2 interesting links:
    http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/salesforce.html for some integration tutorial
    and built-in integration offered by Salesforce: http://www.salesforce.com/assets/pdf/datasheets/SalesforceGoogleApps.pdf
