Salesforce Certified Integration Architect — Question 36

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) has an integration set up between a Salesforce org and a quoting system. NTO would like to show a notification to all sales representatives that use Salesforce anytime the quoting system will be taken down for maintenance.

Which Salesforce API should an integration architect use to fulfill this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Connect REST API
• B. Streaming API
• C. Tooling API
• D. REST API

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Connect REST API is the correct choice as it allows for real-time notifications and updates, making it ideal for alerting users about maintenance schedules. The Streaming API, while useful for real-time updates, is more suited for events and not direct notifications about external system maintenance. The Tooling API is primarily used for development and management purposes, and the REST API does not provide the same level of real-time capabilities needed for notifications.
