Salesforce.com utilizes a pair of features to integrate with external systems such as UltraCart, Outbound Messages and Workflow Rules. For complete integration with UltraCart, you will need to configure several Outbound Messages, and then create Workflow Rules to notify UltraCart when you make changes. This process is fairly detailed, but only needs to be done once.
When you click the Outbound Messages link, you will be taken to a screen listing your existing Outbound Messages (if any).
Click on the New Outbound Message button to begin creating the first Outbound Message.
The first step is to select the object that will be the subject of this message. Let's begin with the Product object. Select Product from the drop down, and click on Next.
Now we come to the message configuration screen, shown below.
That's it! Click the Save button. You will need to repeat the process for the Account and Contact objects as well. The process is exactly the same as described above, except that you will choose the appropriate object, and use a different URL for each object, as shown below.
