Salesforce To Citrix Integration

A Little Background About This Post:


In my recent projects , I met some of my salesforce users using Citrix applications such as
1.       Go To Webinar,
2.       Go To Meeting,
3.       Go To Assist

They are using  AppExchange products for salesforce – Citrix  integration but still ended up doing manual copy –paste work from Citrix applications to salesforce like polls, surveys questions answers etc .
I got an opportunity to automate above work and this post explains same piece of work .

Happy To See:

I had look into Citrix GoToWebinar API and was happy to see that.
1.       It provide beautiful Rest API.
2.       It uses OAuth for authorization and authentication.

Tool Needed For Demonstration :

1.       Salesforce Developer Org .
2.       Citrix Developer Account
3.       GoToWebinar Trial Account  

Enough Talk’s Let’s Start: 

Let’s break this into discrete tasks with their outcomes and we will complete each task one by one.

Task 1 : Register a citrix developer account and create one app .
Outcome 1 : Receive Consumer key and Consumer Secret.

Task 2 :  Authorize Salesforce user on behalf of goToWebinar user .
Outcome 2 : Receive Authorization Code.

Task 3 : Request Access token using Above Authorization Code .
Outcome 3: Receive Access token

Taks 4 : Make API calls to citrix application using  above access token.
Outcome 4 : Well ! both systems are integrated now .

Task 1 : Register a citrix developer account and create one app.


1.       Create a visualforce page  named ‘goToWebinar’ in your salesforce org..
3.       Register with your details.
4.       Click ‘Add a New App’.
5.       Set Application URL to your ‘goToWebinar’ visualforce page URL.

 
4.       If you get ‘there was an error trying to create the App. Please try again later’ error while creating app ,please go to  https://developer.citrixonline.com/forum and post your issue , citrix support will help you.

Outcome 1 : Receive Consumer key and Consumer Secret.

 Now we have Consumer key and consumer secret which we will use in next task.
  


Task 2 :  Authorize Salesforce user on behalf of GoToWebinar user .


               Paste below code in your visualforce page. Click Authorize link, We will authorize salesforce user with citrix systems on behalf of citrix User.


 <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="Authorize GoToWebinar" >
            <apex:outputLink value="https://api.citrixonline.com/oauth/authorize?    client_id=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY">Authorize</apex:outputLink>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
 </apex:pageBlock >

Outcome 2 : Receive Authorization Code.

It will redirect to the callback url which is your visualforce page only with authorization code as below.
Check your Browser URL will look like below URL carrying authorization code.
https://ashishdev.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/goToWebinar?scope=&code=aeacc93a

Task 3 : Request Access token using Above Authorization Code .

In this step we will use Previous step Authorization Code to get acess token,
We will make one apex http callout like below.


string  aouthCode = apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('code');

stringacessTokenUrl='https://api.citrixonline.com/oauth/access_tokengrant_type=authorization_code&code='+aouthCode+'&client_id=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY';

Http h = new Http();
// Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(acessTokenUrl);
req.setMethod('GET');
// Send the request, and return a response
HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
String body = res.getBody();

Outcome 3: Receive Access token

Debug your response json ,we have access token now.


Taks 4: Make API calls to citrix application using  above access token.


We now have access token ,we can make GotoWebinar api calls using above access token.
Here is sample callout to get all your historical webinars.


string webinarUrl='https://api.citrixonline.com/G2W/rest/organizers/'+organizerKey+'/historicalWebinars';
Http h1 = new Http();
// Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint
HttpRequest req1 = new HttpRequest();
req1.setEndpoint(webinarUrl);
req1.setMethod('GET');
req1.setHeader('Content-Type','application/xml');
req1.setHeader('Authorization',jsonWrapObj.access_token);
// Send the request, and return a response
HttpResponse res1 = h1.send(req1);
String body1 = res1.getBody();



Outcome 4 : Debug your response json .Well ! both systems are integrated now .

Full Working Code :


Here is full working code to get all historical webinars .

1 . Create below Apex class in your org.

public class JsonParser{
        public String subject{get;set;}
        public String description{get;set;}
        public String timeZone{get;set;}
        public list<times> times{get;set;}
    public class times{
        public String endTime{get;set;}
        public String startTime{get;set;}
    }
}

public with sharing class GoToWebinarController {

    //MyMeetings
    public List<JsonParser> meetingWrapperList{get;set;}
 
    // aouth Details
    public String aouthCode{get;set;}
    public String acessTokenCode{get;set;}
    public String organizerKey{get;set;}
    String  authorizationUrl ='https://api.citrixonline.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=dfG9oHrA2MVqQicN6aQSmk4BPJuPkb0N';
 
    public GoToWebinarController(){
          aouthCode = apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('code');
    }

    public PageReference goToWebinarHistoricalWebinars() {
     
        String acessTokenUrl = 'https://api.citrixonline.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+aouthCode+'&client_id=dfG9oHrA2MVqQicN6aQSmk4BPJuPkb0N';
        Http h = new Http();
        // Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint(acessTokenUrl);
        req.setMethod('GET');
        // Send the request, and return a response
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
       
        String body = res.getBody();
        JSONWrapper jsonWrapObj = (JSONWrapper)JSON.deserialize(body, JSONWrapper.class);
        acessTokenCode =jsonWrapObj.access_token;
        organizerKey =jsonWrapObj.organizer_key;
        system.debug(body);
     
        string webinarUrl ='https://api.citrixonline.com/G2W/rest/organizers/'+organizerKey+'/historicalWebinars';
     
        Http h1 = new Http();
        // Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint
        HttpRequest req1 = new HttpRequest();
        req1.setEndpoint(webinarUrl);
        req1.setMethod('GET');
        req1.setHeader('Content-Type','application/xml');
        req1.setHeader('Authorization',jsonWrapObj.access_token);
        // Send the request, and return a response
        HttpResponse res1 = h1.send(req1);
        String body1 = res1.getBody();
        system.debug('--------------res1.getBody()--------------'+res1.getBody());
        myMeetings = body1;
        meetingWrapperList =(List<JsonParser>)JSON.deserialize(myMeetings, List<JsonParser>.class);
        system.debug(meetingWrapperList);
        return null;
   }
 
   public class JSONWrapper{
       public Integer expires_in;
       public String access_token;
       public string organizer_key;
   }
}

2.       Create Below visualforce page.


<apex:page controller="GoToWebinarController" doctype="html-5.0">
 
<apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="Authorize GoToWebinar" >
            <apex:outputLink value="https://api.citrixonline.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=dfG9oHrA2MVqQicN6aQSmk4BPJuPkb0N">Authorize</apex:outputLink>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
       
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="aOuth Code" rendered="true">
            {!aouthCode}  
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="Access Token Code" rendered="true">
            {! acessTokenCode}<br/>
            {!organizerKey}
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
   
    </apex:pageBlock>
    <apex:pageBlock title="My Previous Webinars">
        <apex:commandButton value="Display My Previous Webinars" action="{!goToWebinarHistoricalWebinars}"/>
        <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!meetingWrapperList}" var="myWebinar">
                <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">Name</apex:facet>
                   {!myWebinar.subject}
                </apex:column>
             
                <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">Description</apex:facet>
                   {!myWebinar.description}
                </apex:column>
                 <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">Start Time</apex:facet>
                   {!myWebinar.times[0].startTime}
                </apex:column>
                <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">End Time</apex:facet>
                   {!myWebinar.times[0].endTime}
                </apex:column>
                <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">Timezone</apex:facet>
                   {!myWebinar.timezone}
                </apex:column>
                <!--
                <apex:column >
                    <apex:facet name="header">Registration URL</apex:facet>
                    <apex:outputLink value="{!myWebinar.registrationUrl}">Register</apex:outputLink>
                </apex:column>
                -->
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
