ReachFive SalesForce cartridge

SFCC Cartridge 20.8.2

SalesForce Cartridges are mechanisms used for packaging and deploying code and data, typically with the intent of integrating with a B2C commerce application. Cartridges often extend functionality and integrate with external systems.

Our own ReachFive cartridge comes with a variety of benefits that help you leverage our powerful CIAM directly within your SalesForce setup. One of the primary advantages is, of course, streamlining customer authentication and analytics from that data.

Cartridge modes

Currently, there are three primary modes or use-cases where you can leverage the ReachFive cartridge.

Full CIAM mode Recommended

When in Full CIAM mode, the entire user workflow is managed through ReachFive which gives you a more precise view into user interactions and allows you to leverage all the features of ReachFive.

Social login mode

When using the cartridge in Social login mode, users can:

Add social login accounts to their user profile
Remove social login accounts to their user profile

All social providers supported with ReachFive are available via the cartridge.

Transition mode

The Transition mode is most often used as part of a gradual migration from managing users solely within the SFCC to managing them with ReachFive in the Full CIAM mode.

In this mode:

Customer workflows are managed in the SFCC, but all information and content is synchronized with ReachFive. This includes all customer interactions such as registration, logging in, updating profiles, updating passwords, resetting, passwords, and so on and so forth. You can see more on specific user events on the User Events page.
