Great explanation Satya Garu, will definitely try with Dataweave & Apex as it will require less boilerplate code

[@rushikeshsatpute4970]

Great information

[@CastorPolux74]

Excelente. Gracias.

[@smritisharan-sfdcamplified]

nice information

[@02f41a0526]

great explanation Satya...can any one implemented setting the authentication parameters in the body by using named credentials?

[@deeps1015]

So making callout and having dml operation together is possible in a single transaction if the method is not invoked from a trigger?

[@mohamedsaleemparambat3034]

I don't think so. You will end up with transaction commit error, unless you use any asynchronous methods for callouts like future method.

[@deeps1015]

​@@mohamedsaleemparambat3034 But that's what the presenter did here and it worked. I think it is not possible only from triggers because callout will affect the database operation

[@awesomekj5812]

@@mohamedsaleemparambat3034 so how come presenter didn't get any error here when trying to upsert ? Is it because Callout was done before DML and then no callout afterwards ?

[@rohantelang1817]

​@@awesomekj5812- Correct.
